Research & Development Collaboration: Disruptive Digital Technology & Innovation

Print friendly PDF

Introduction 

A primary R&D objective is to develop the CSN disruptive technology: digital platform, apps and communal solutions, to intuitively and organically facilitate socioeconomic and cultural regeneration.

Community Support Network [CSN]

The aim of CSN is to empower and support ordinary citizens, as local community collectives, to affect change to improve their standard of living and quality of life. Informed by Social and Behavioural Science and founded on behavioural insights, CSN technology should enhance not replace social engagement, and encourage community integration and cohesion to become an invaluable civil society platform and powerful catalyst for change.

​

CSN will operate in conjunction with independently run EDEN City Outreach community-based hubs and or in collaboration with existing community groups or centres. Its primary functions are to:

  • Enable local individuals to easily connect and collaborate in responding to shared interests and or circumstances;
     

  • Extrapolate common or underlying cause(s) from the collective insights and experiences of the users;
     

  • Simplify the identification and development of targeted solutions; spotlighting available and or essential technical, professional and or specialist resources;
     

  • Facilitate the formation of community collectives (working parties) and the pooling of efforts and resources to achieve their defined objectives; and 
     

  • Provide access to real-time, responsive digital intelligence.

R&D Collaboration Invitation

EDEN City Outreach would like to hear from individuals, businesses, academics and institutions interested in exploring opportunities to form a diverse collaborative community for the development of the CSN disruptive digital platform.

R&D Overview:

  • Explore the role of CSN in facilitating socioeconomic regeneration as an Information and Communication Technologies for Development [ICT4D] initiative;
     

  • Incorporate the findings of Social & Behavioural Science R&D to develop a simple but effective framework and or methodology for administering CSN communal support, solutions and services; 
     

  • Integrate online tools, aids and or resources to help identify and or mitigate unhealthy behavioural bias and natural propensity for predictable irrational mistakes [Nudge choice architecture];
     

  • Develop the CSN digital platform prototype and participate in a proof of concept pilot.
