First, DIL will allow to fully realize the potential of digitalization throughout the whole lifespan of buildings. Second, DIL will lead to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions. Third, DIL will lead to an increase in the legitimacy and validity of research performed and accelerate market introduction of new innovative technologies and methods. Fourth, DIL will lead to more actionable knowledge, and to the development of proper competences. Finally, DIL will contribute to an increased Swedish competitiveness and leadership in the digitalization of the built environment.

Planned approach and implementation

By Q1 2024, center management core mechanisms have been set, and the groundwork for shared digital infrastructure and PhD themes has been initiated. In Q2 2024, the center is inaugurated, and work on the research agenda starts. Q3 2024 sees the launch of PhD exchange and other mobility plans. This groundwork paves the way for focusing on education, knowledge dissemination, and research in 2025 and beyond, coupled with a commitment to continuously improving the shared digital infrastructure.
