New Collaboration

We're delighted to be collaborating with University of Leeds on an Inclusive Digital Economy Network+ called INCLUDE+.

Focusing on the three connected strands of wellbeing, precarity, and civic culture; INCLUDE+ addresses structural inequalities as they emerge through research, investigating them through whole system approaches that includes the generation of outputs that comprise of new systems, services and practices to be taken up by organisations.

More than this, our knowledge community will be underpinned by empirical, co-curation and participatory led research that will produce real interventions into those structural inequalities.

This Month's Highlight
