Universität Hamburg’s digital strategy
Universität Hamburg’s digital strategy (PDF, accessible) is the result of a one-year strategy process conducted at the University in 2022. The basis for the strategic goals and areas of activity developed in the digital strategy is a holistic understanding of digitalization. At Universität Hamburg, we approach digitalization in the sense of a digital transformation: a complex technological and cultural change process that incorporates the entire University with all its areas and members.
The aim is to shape this digital transformation so that it best meets the diverse needs of the members of Universität Hamburg and deals constructively with challenges. Digitalization should be implemented where it is useful and beneficial, where it creates value, and where it facilitates (international) collaboration and participation. At the same time, the culture of interacting and meeting in person should always remain at the core of our University’s identity.
The present digital strategy is to serve as the University’s guiding framework for approaching the opportunities and challenges of digital transformation in a thoughtful manner and successfully implementing our digitalization plans and projects.

The digital strategy is divided into an overarching digital strategy for Universität Hamburg (Section 2) and 4 area-specific digital strategies (Section 3) for research, studies and teaching, knowledge exchange (not yet completed—will be further developed in 2023), and administration.
The area-specific digital strategies were created in the 3 steering committees for digitalization and information technology in research, studies and teaching, and administration. The process was coordinated by the Digital Office.
