“Digital economies open up new opportunities for positive change and development but they can also exacerbate social inequalities and spread new risks. We created this cluster to forge dialogue across boundaries about these complex transformations.”
Dr Andreas Hackl and Dr Mohammad Amir Anwar, Digital Economy and Society Cluster Leads
The Cluster increases the capacity for research collaboration across disciplines at the University of Edinburgh, while generating a fruitful exchange of ideas and research between the University and our international colleagues and partners. A particular goal of our work lies in bridging academia with practice, in part by initiating knowledge exchange and dialogue between researchers and practitioners in the public, private and third sectors.
