From March 31 to April 2, the Digital Change Symposium 2025 on the future of science management in the MPG took place at Kloster Seeon. The event, organized by the MPDL, brought together research coordinators, science communicators, and experts from research to discuss the use of AI in science, open science, science communication, decentralized science, and other digital opportunities.
On the arrival day of the symposium, an entertaining introduction round took place, featuring numerous retrospectives on previous Digital Change Symposia and insights into the working methods of experts in public relations and research coordinators. The symposium not only offered exciting contributions on topics such as artificial intelligence, decentralized science, open science practices, and the communication strategies of the Max Planck Society's institutes. It also included an adventurous knowledge hike around Lake Seeon and a round of scientific matchmaking, where research coordinators and public relations personnel were networked according to their areas of interest.
With a focus on innovations and trends related to digital transformation, the MPDL aims to stimulate discussion and contribute to jointly leveraging the opportunities of digital change for research and science. Located on a peninsula in Lake Seeon, Kloster Seeon provided the perfect atmosphere for knowledge exchange. The event was well-received and highlighted the growing demand within the MPG for the topics addressed.
