Research projects

To boost the ambition of the Responsible Digital Transformations, extra funding was made available to interdisciplinary UvA initiatives to work with non-academic partners on pressing societal questions. This has led to a number of small- and mid-scale projects. Seed grant projects give space to new, innovative, interdisciplinary initiatives. In Midsize projects, UvA researchers work closely with non-academic partners on concrete societal questions.
