The School of Management at Swansea University has a new series of online talks, ChatDigital. During this series, a variety of experts from both industry and academia will share their insights and help answer questions about emergent digital technology and how it might affect people, society, and organisations.
In the first talk, CODAH director Dr Leighton Evans took a deep dive into the #metaverse with Professor Yogesh Dwivedi and Dr Laurie Hughes from Swansea University, and Dr Emma Slade from the University of Bristol.
