The latest issue of the Zeitschrift für Hochschulentwicklung (Journal for Higher Education Development / ZFHE) was just published: Issue 18/Special Issue Research (November 2023) on "Digitalisierung in der Forschung – Projekte österreichischer Hochschulen 2020–2024", edited by Ilire Hasani-Mavriqi & Susanne Blumesberger.

About the issue:

The Federal Ministry of Education, Science, and Research (BMBWF) has allocated a total of 50 million euros in funding to 34 projects chosen through a rigorous review process as part of the nationwide call for proposals „Projects for Digital and Social Transformation in the Higher Education Sector“ in 2020. The funding is designated for innovative collaborative projects expected to bring about a lasting impact on the higher education system by 2024.

The journal ZFHE is providing an avenue for these projects to share their outcomes and insights with a broad academic audience through three special issues in an open-access publication format. These issues specifically focus on the three realms of digitization projects: teaching, research, and administration. The current emphasis is on projects related to research.

In addition to the online version, the issue will also be available in bookshops as a print publication. For more information, visit https://www.zfhe.at/index.php/zfhe/print.
