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!

"CoRisk Index"
An economic indicator of industry-specific risk assessments related to Covid-19 In a collaborative project researchers from Oxford and Berlin developed an index as the first economic indicator of industry-specific risk assessments related to Covid-19, based on financial disclosures of US companies. The index can provide valuable real-time information about economic risks associated with the pandemic, and it has already been featured in Oxford University News, the Washington Post, and the Wirtschaftswoche. In today's special episode we welcome the data scientists Dr. Fabian Stephany and Dr. Fabian Braesemann from the University of Oxford. The two speak with HIIG Ph.D. student Bronwen Deacon about their recent work on the CoRisk-Index. We look forward to your feedback on the episode.
