Release of Cahier du Digital #12

Titled "Digital NextGen," this 12th issue of "Les Cahiers du Digital" highlights promising work by recent graduates nominated for the 2025 Digital Transformation Dissertation Award.

Spotlight on outstanding dissertations

Whether for this issue or for the Digital Transformation Dissertation Award, the ambition is simple: to highlight the research conducted by students who are tackling the challenges of digital transformation. Their dissertations explore the changes Walloon companies are undergoing, examine the socio-economic shifts linked to digital technology, and often propose concrete approaches to understanding and supporting these transformations. This issue is part of that effort to highlight these works: to promote and share this high-quality research so that it can have an impact beyond academic circles.
