Why digital collaboration?

The world in which we live and work is constantly changing.

This is exactly where the guide for digital collaboration comes in. In addition to the tools, the focus is on methods and strategies for digital collaboration, networking and knowledge dissemination.

Many of the formats and methods that appear in this guide also exist in the analog world. This guide shows possibilities for implementing them in a digital context.
