Join us on a journey into the realms of our digital society: In the new season of Exploring Digital Spheres our SET-project research team travels to five different countries on three continents in order to explore the intersection of sustainability and digitalisation and talk to local experts about their endeavours. In the first season of the podcast you got to know HIIG researchers and their diverse research backgrounds. We asked them how our digital society works and what its future might look like. Every other episode, the researchers entered into a dialogue with other digital mavericks!

S02 E02: Exploring Kosovo's sustainable spatial developments
In this episode we shine a light on the transformation of a former military camp into the Innovation and Training Park (ITP) Prizren in Kosovo, an aspiring hub for innovation, economic development and digital transformation in the city and wider region. We discuss the connection between spatial development, innovation and digitalisation at the ITP with local experts.
In June and October 2022, Christian Grauvogel travelled to the former KFOR camp to investigate the spatial potentials of the ITP. As part of our research project we explored how the sustainable transformation of the park could foster the innovation ecosystem in the future. We discussed this with Simon Floeth, Head of the Digital Transformation Center Kosovo, the architect Rudina Qerimi and Ares Shporta, founder of the Lumbardhi Foundation.
