Building a research community focused on what a good digital society should look like and how we get there.

We fund research projects, fellowships and internships that explore three societal challenges that we see as crucial to ensuring that digital technologies benefit people and societies: equity, sustainability and resilience.

Our research is provoking rich, interdisciplinary debate on what a good digital society looks like.

We undertake research on the digital good through the Digital Good Research Fund, our core team, and our interns and fellows. Our research projects will all feed into the Digital Good Index, to be used to evaluate digital innovations to ensure good societal outcomes.
