Behind the Screens – With Christien Bok

Behind the Screens – With Christien Bok

The Hochschulforum Digitalisierung thrives on dynamic encounters, fresh ideas and people who get hands-on. Without the community, the HFD would be unthinkable. Celebrating 10 years of HFD therefore means, above all, celebrating 10 years of community involvement! That's why, in this series of portraits, we are introducing members of the community who have helped shape 10 years of HFD history. We are curious: What is their individual contribution to the digital transformation at universities? What special insights do they draw from their work? What motivates them? This time with: Christien Bok.
