Our research fund is now open for applications, on the theme of ‘Building the digital good’ <https://digitalgood.us21.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6f3e36a64057be578590b3d0b&id=95b5912952&e=f757e5c1e2>. Proposed projects may do one or more of the following: - generate or rework digital technologies with the intention of achieving the digital good - explore how the digital good might be built in to specific technologies, contexts and domains - consider the role of diverse communities, sectors and organisations in building the digital good - test methodological innovations for building the digital good. Proposals should also build on our research <https://digitalgood.us21.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6f3e36a64057be578590b3d0b&id=bf256fb833&e=f757e5c1e2> and work on evaluating the digital good <https://digitalgood.us21.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6f3e36a64057be578590b3d0b&id=f46fd31bc4&e=f757e5c1e2> .
