The Research Training Group (RTG) "Digital Platform Ecosystems" 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 are the basis for fundamentally novel data- and knowledge-intensive business models, and require 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, that sets itself apart from other research clusters on digital platforms.
