Hesse's Digital Minister Sinemus visits ITeG

The state of Hesse wants to establish a Hesse-wide competence center for digitization. Yesterday (Feb. 5), Digital Minister Prof. Kristina Sinemus visited the ITeG at the University of Kassel to discuss how the ITeG can contribute its expertise to the planned center.

How can digitization be designed in such a way that it benefits our society and does not endanger it? The Scientific Center for Information Technology Design at the University of Kassel, the ITeG, has 15 years of expertise in this area.

Among other things, impressive third-party funding figures speak for this expertise: In 2018 alone, over 4.5 million euros were implemented at the ITeG. The members are sought-after contacts and advisors for politics in expert commissions and expert councils at the federal level. The ITeG experts are regularly present in the media, as President Prof. Dr. Reiner Finkeldey emphasized during his welcoming speech.

Prof. Sinemus had the ITeG introduced to him in detailed discussions. Together, they discussed how the ITeG could contribute its expertise in responsibly shaping the digital transformation to a planned Hesse-wide center.
