The Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) is turning its focus on technological innovation towards the current pandemic with a new program focused on public health and economic recovery.

How 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ and its friends, alumni and donors have come together to provide urgent financial support for students during this pandemic — and how you can help.

New smartphone apps being developed could help track and trace where people with the virus have been and alert others who might be at risk of coming into contact with it. But Stan Matwin, director of Dal's Institute for Big Data Analytics, says decision-makers must grapple with how to make these programs both effective and respectful of people’s privacy.

In an era when digital transformation is rapidly changing industries around the world, Dal's new Master of Digital Innovation program draws on expertise from four Faculties to help train digital professionals that can work in any sector.
