In 2022, PLUS founded the new Faculty of Digital and Analytical Sciences (DAS) and has combined its competencies in the digital field such as computer science, data science, human-computer interaction and geoinformatics at the Itzling site and strengthened them with a materials science component.
The EXDIGIT project is intended to give the PLUS and its youngest faculty an even stronger presence in European and national excellence programs or other high-level research initiatives. The special feature here is the close inter-institutional cooperation with Salzburg Research and other partners, such as the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences or the PMU, which is anchored in the project.
