Our Services
Recognize
We are engaged in long-term research enquiries to recognize the right problems to address. This primarily includes research around health and wellbeing, social inequality, livelihoods and gender, climate change, and the interlinkage and overlaps between these focus areas in an evolving technological world.
1. We build interdisciplinary knowledge repositories on issues of concern particularly focused on digital livelihoods, gender, social inequality and climate change.
2. We build and curate open-access toolkits on design, research, digital access, and systems-thinking for community organizers and local practitioners.
