There is no shortage of reports highlighting Germany’s and Europe’s serious technological dependencies: social networks, cloud services, artificial intelligence – they are lagging in many areas and in danger of being left behind altogether. The lack of digital sovereignty did not arise suddenly, but in times of intensifying geopolitical conflicts, it now appears threatening.

The Carinthian regional government has once again honored outstanding scientific work in the field of digitalization. The Department for Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity is delighted to receive two award-winning theses at once.
