The TUM Center for Digital Public Services (TUM CDPS) conducts research on legal issues of digitalization with a focus on the areas of e-government, e-health and digital education. Researchers from the fields of legal and social sciences as well as computer sciences study not only the legal foundations, but also develop concrete options for shaping the use of digital technologies in public institutions.

The Research Institute for Digital Transformation (bidt) is an institute of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BAdW). It promotes outstanding interdisciplinary research and works as a think tank to provide decision makers in politics and the private sector with evidence-based recommendations to successfully shape the digital transformation. The bidt also promotes the public dialog between researchers and society.

The name of the conference and the award is derived from the former research unit for IT law and network policy For..Net at the University of Passau, which was headed by Prof. Dirk Heckmann, the director of TUM CDPS, before he joined TUM.
