Grassroots of Digital Europe (GRADE) is a COST Action that connects researchers from across Europe to share expertise, build capacity, and initiate new transnational projects exploring the social and cultural dimensions of Europe’s digital transformation.

GRADE aims to build a robust and diverse network of researchers from across Europe who will integrate the existing knowledge and work on new transnational projects. 

Within its working groups, the Action will focus on investigating user communities, their interaction with state and European-level policies, and the preservation of digital cultural heritage.

GRADE will contribute to a participatory technological agenda for Europe that is informed by historical research and sensitive to the cultural contexts of various European regions.
