Leadership for Sustainable Digital Transformation in Europe
The DIGI+ programme operates at the intersection of the digital and green transitions, addressing the need for interdisciplinary research and skills to support Europe’s shift towards a sustainable, inclusive, and data-driven society. In line with EU priorities such as the European Green Deal and the Digital Strategy, the project responds to challenges related to ethical digitalisation, climate resilience, and socio-economic transformation. DIGI+ trains a new generation of researchers capable of bridging technological innovation with societal needs, combining expertise in areas such as artificial intelligence, digital governance, sustainability, health technologies, and socio-economic modelling. The programme includes several research projects addressing ethical, governance, behavioural, and societal dimensions of digital transformation, thereby incorporating social sciences and humanities perspectives alongside technological development. The pathway to impact combines research excellence through interdisciplinary approaches, capacity building via structured training and supervision, and knowledge transfer through intersectoral collaboration. Through this approach, DIGI+ is expected to contribute to evidence-based policymaking, responsible innovation, and the development of sustainable digital solutions, with impacts at scientific, societal, and economic levels.

Project objective
DIGI+ is a world-class research fellowship programme, cofunded by MSCA, on Sustainable Digital Transformation that aims for a new generation of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative researcher leaders, able to face current and future challenges aligned with EU’s Digital and Green Agenda. Driven by the ambition of sustainable ecosystems the DIGI+ research programme is focussed on developing innovative digital transformation approaches addressing cross-disciplinary challenges, relevant to current policies and strategies in the European Research Area. The programme funds 20 Postdoctoral Researchers to advance digital transformation practices in four multidisciplinary research themes: 1) Innovative Business Models and Data Ecosystems; 2) Digital Culture and Skills ; 3) Data Governance; 4) Innovative Digital Technologies and Adoption aligned with the EU sustainable development goals. Driven by the ambition of sustainability, DIGI+ has brought together partners that cultivate excellence by extending the traditional academic research setting, equipping researchers with a tailored combination of research-specific and transferable skills that will enhance career prospects in both the academic and non-academic sectors. DIGI+ is embedded within Ireland’s leading SFI-funded research centres, Lero and Adapt, bringing together a group of world-leading experts. Together with outstanding working conditions that support both family and career, DIGI+ thus provides the fellows with excellent career perspective. DIGI+ will impact on research, policy, standards and Digital skills. DIGI+ fellows will be able to convert knowledge and ideas to drive the digital transformation for economic and social benefit, with sustainability a key parameter. DIGI+ research helps to establish a set of innovative, multidisciplinary Digital Transformation Paths supporting the EU sustainability goals and help forming sustainable, net-zero economies, a key aim within the EU for the next decade.
