This axis is part of an ethnographic-type research perspective aimed at investigating everyday digital practices in order to understand the modes of appropriation, adjustments, repurposing (misuse/subversion), and even resistances that accompany the deployment of certain digital identity systems.
This axis seeks to explore and develop, from a forward-looking or critical perspective, the range of possibilities regarding the relationship between digital identity and environmental protection. One of the key challenges of this work is to contribute to the broader debate on ‘digital technology and the environment’, and to align the Chair with the ecological transition efforts expected from the research and innovation sectors.
This axis aims to produce a series of studies to identify, analyze, and discuss socio-political or techno-scientific controversies emerging in the public sphere regarding digital identitý, the systems deployed, and their usage.
RD-ID Chair Think Tank
The Chair follows of a responsible research approach and, as part of this, relies on an internal participatory reflexivity mechanism in the form of a think tank. Bringing together researchers from engineering and social sciences, industry professionals, and representatives from regulatory bodies and civil society, the RD-ID Chair’s multi-stakeholder think tank serves as a space for knowledge production and action-oriented research through the discussion of research findings conducted within the Chair.
