In 2022, the university of Salzburg founded the new Faculty of Digital and Analytical Sciences (DAS) and has combined its competencies in the digital field such as computer science, data science, human-computer interaction and geoinformatics at the Itzling site and strengthened them with a materials science component.
The EXDIGIT project is intended to give the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg and its youngest faculty an even stronger presence in European and national excellence programs or other high-level research initiatives. The special feature here is the close inter-institutional cooperation with Salzburg Research and other partners, such as the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences or the PMU, which is anchored in the project.
