The Digit-partners

Each of the academic partners have developed high-level expertise in their individual fields of research areas, both in groundbreaking research and applied research with a greater focus on evaluation of alternative scenarios for policy development and implementation by public and private sector agents. Digit also involves stakeholders from outside of the research sector to help identify research questions and knowledge gaps, discuss explanations and interpretations, and develop new courses and ways of innovating.

Meet the partners


DIGIT will foster opportunities for new theorization and exchange about new research methods and projects with the top scholars, professors, and stakeholders outside of the research sector that will impart their knowledge and learnings.
