PRODIGEES is a transnational knowledge cooperation network, aimed at creating a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the impact of digitalisation across the social, economic and environmental dimension of sustainable development and its governance. Funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme, it analyses conditions under which positive effects of digitalisation can be realised, while at the same time mitigating potential negative effects. The project (2020-2025) engages in staff exchange, transnational training and multi-stakeholder dialogue, and establishes a long-term platform of research institutions in the EU and from the MGG network in Brazil, India, Indonesia, Mexico and South Africa.
