- Description/content
- The "Digital Platform Ecosystems" Research Training Group (RTG) is dedicated to studying a key phenomenon of the digital economy and society and sets new standards for the qualification of young academics.
Digital platform ecosystems form the foundation for fundamentally novel data and knowledge-intensive business models, requiring an integrated, systemic view from several disciplines. The DFG Research Training Group 2720 "Digital Platform Ecosystems (DPE) – Digital platform-based value creation and its implications for data exchange, organisation and socio-economic development" offers such an overarching perspective. DPE has a unique profile, drawing from a variety of disciplines, including information systems, business administration, economics and communication science (https://www.dpe.uni-passau.de/en/people), setting itself apart from other research clusters on digital platforms.
