Hochschulforum Digitalisierung and Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre sind Veranstaltungspartner des University:Future Festivals 2021.
Hochschulforum Digitalisierung (HFD) orchestrates the discourse on higher education in the digital age. As an innovation driver, it informs, advises and connects stakeholders from higher education institutions, politics, business and civil society. Founded in 2014, HFD is a joint initiative by Stifterverband, CHE Centre for Higher Education and the German Rectors’ Conference (HRK). It is sponsored by Germany’s Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
Established in 2020, Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre supports innovation in teaching and learning at higher education institutions. Its aim is to strengthen the capacity for renewal in higher education teaching generally and on an ongoing basis. The foundation supports suitable projects that are located at individual universities or university consortiums . In addition, it creates networking opportunities for stakeholders, supports the exchange of project results, successes and challenges, and provides shared knowledge.
The Foundation’s programme and funding support the entire spectrum of the German higher education landscape. Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre is a fiduciary foundation under the auspices of the non-profit Toepfer Stiftung gGmbH. All funding for support, programme, organisation and administration is provided by the federal and state governments (150 million euros annually from 2021). The first funding announcement “Strengthening Higher Education Teaching through Digitisation” will be succeeded by further funding lines with other thematic focuses, application entitlements and target groups.

Technologiestiftung Berlin
Digital tools and smart solutions can make living together in the city more open, liveable and sustainable. That is why the Technology Foundation is committed to the digital transformation in administration, education, culture and business – in a way that is oriented towards the common good and transparent.
Digitalisation is changing our lives – privately and at work. Anyone who wants to participate successfully in life must be able to deal confidently with the information and services available on the Internet. This requires a basic digital understanding. Schools are only slowly opening up to the new formats and contents. In Berlin, however, there are already many extracurricular initiatives for digital education and interesting learning opportunities. Our EduTechMap Berlin is intended to help provide educational institutions with an overview of offers for digital projects. This should make it easier for educational institutions to really make good use of the possibilities of digitalisation.
