What Do We Do?
Digital, cultural and political transitions are transforming societies and space at an increasing pace, from local to global scales. The Transient Spaces & Societies research group explores how these processes impact inclusion, exclusion, sustainability, and well-being.
We are an interdisciplinary, multilocal research team based at Heidelberg University and at the University of Innsbruck.
