Book Description
Bochum University of Applied Sciences has identified the central transformation topics of sustainability and digitalisation as a key goal and anchored them in its strategy. In several study programmes, students are already being prepared and qualified as future experts for their tasks as agents of change in the transformation process. The importance of digitalisation for solving future sustainability challenges is clearly becoming the dominant factor. In its report Our Common Digital Future, the Advisory Council on Global Change (WBGU) emphasises that digitalisation must be designed in such a way that it can serve as a lever and support for the Great Transformation towards sustainability and can be synchronised with it. In this context, technological approaches and use cases from the areas of blockchain and decentralized finance are prominently discussed in the public debate and are still controversial with regard to their contribution to sustainable development.
