Welcome to INCLUDE+, a network dedicated to exploring and fostering social and digital environments where everyone can thrive. From 2022 to 2027, this five-year program aims to build a robust knowledge community addressing inequalities in digital society.

ABOUT IN+ NETWORK


IN+ ART Iterations explores digital equity and the implications of INCLUDE+ Principles. Our initiative seeks to co-examine what digital equity means for artists and the communities they engage with.

MEET OUR IN+ART COMMUNITY

Our research and community practice spans algorithmic social justice, responsible and inclusive digital innovation, digital civics, and health. We strive to understand how wellbeing, precarity, and civic culture interplay with broader structural inequalities and how these are experienced and navigated by various communities.

HORIZON SCANNING OUTCOMES

Our second annual event, on the theme of Mean[IN]gful Digital Inclusion, engages with attendees through the participatory practices adopted by our Feasibility Study leads. We showcase current funded projects and activities by inviting participants to experience the approaches and methods used by within each project. We bookend these experiences with discussions and roundtables, where we ask everyone to explore what a digital inclusive society would feel like.
