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.

HORIZON SCANNING OUTCOMES

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.
