Responding to contemporary socio-ecological crises, our mission is to explore and shape digital and green futures through research, practice, and design together with diverse partners and actors in communities, cities, and societies. As a collective, we engage in core societal challenges through central themes of sustainable futures, urban transformations, civic resilience, and cultural and creative practices. 

DIGTCOM is a research centre for the digital, social, and green transformation of society. Aiming to create societal impact across different scales, we explore the role and design of emerging technologies and data-driven systems for diverse communities based on everyday practices of the digital transformation.

This involves responsible approaches to everyday automation and algorithmic systems for sustainable urban mobility, energy, and data infrastructures in the green transition. It involves exploring the role of emergent social networks and sites of civic resilience for enabling inclusive sustainable societies, as well as the potentials of culture and creativity as drivers of social and green change in society.
