Cente for Digital Welfare is closed

CDW, The Center for Digital Welfare, is closed by March 31, 2026. But we keep the website open for some time as a resource for all who are interested in what we have done and who we are.

CDW has over the years been an important hub for research and cross-sector collaboration, and has been a greenhouse for new ideas, for qualifying research and for research impact outside the IT University of Copenhagen.

However, all good things come to an end - and in this case the closing of CDW creates space and energy for some of all the exciting and timely research initiatives and cross-sector collaborations that are currently emerging at the ITU.

Welcome to the Center for Digital Welfare

The CDW aims to describe and rethink what it means to govern and live in a digitalized welfare society. Researchers at the CDW inquire about the nuts and bolts as well as the consequences of digitalization for welfare. In addition, we propose solutions for digitalization that honor sustainable and democratic principles.

Members of CDW, researchers as well as member organizations, gain networking and research collaboration opportunities with likeminded peers, access to and insight into digitalization efforts within various Danish authorities and stakeholder organizations, and invites to center-wide events and activities centered around ‘emergent’ research themes, research-focused ideation workshops, expeditions, talks, conferences and more.
