As a central initiator we inform, advise and network with members of universities, policy makers, business representatives and society and thereby drive innovation in Higher Education.
Hochschulforum Digitalisierung (German Forum for Higher Education in the Digital Age, abbreviated: HFD) is a nation wide, German think tank managing a diverse community consisting of thousand of people engaged in digitalisation in university teaching. We seek to showcase current developments and try out innovative solutions. In order to achieve this, we inform, advise, qualify and network with a wide range of members of universities, policy makers, business representatives and society.
HFD was founded in 2014 as a common initiative by Stifterverband, CHE Centre for Higher Education and the German rectors' conference and is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
The HFD is defined by its people. Have a look at our team members. HFD is accompanied by the Stakeholder Dialogue, that connects representatives of institutions that are particularly relevant to our work. And last but not least, the HFD lives through every single member of the community who critically promotes and shapes digitisation in studies and teaching at his or her institution.
