With many great plans in store, the year is starting on a refreshing note, as we cautiously hope that consecutive cancellations are a thing of the past.
One thing we especially look forward to, is the upcoming collaboration with our two newest members, Alexandra Instituttet and Gate21. Alexandra Instituttet is a leading research-based IT consultancy, and Gate21 is a partnership, which gathers municipalities, regions, and knowledge institutions for testing out green solutions for a sustainable Denmark. Welcome both, to the Center for Digital Welfare (CDW)!
In other news, a research member of the working group Sustainable Digitalization, and Associate Professor of Computer Science, Luca Maria Aiello, recently secured a prestigious fellowship for
the project COCOONS focusing on sustainability and collective action. The project’s ultimate goal is to provide a blueprint for online participatory platforms that empower users to find common solutions to major problems; problems that can only be addressed by mass action, such as global pandemics and rapid climate change. The project includes three positions for PhDs and Postdocs, and if you are interested in applying,
keep an eye out for their announcement here. Congratulations on the project to Aiello!
In this newsletter, you will be able to get a quick overview of all recent and upcoming activities in the Short News, dive into ongoing research about Predicting Unemployment, and get a sneak peek into a new publication about video consultations in Danish healthcare provision during the pandemic.
We hope you enjoy reading.
Sincerely,
Laura Juncker and Brit Ross Winthereik,
