International Digital Futures Network
The International Digital Futures Network (IDFN) is a network of leading institutes around the world working on designing, developing and interrogating digital futures through academic research, policy work and the development of new methodologies and facilities.
The IDFN connects global institutes working at the intersection of engineering, technology, science, arts and social sciences to expand and foster research capacity across institutions, sectors and geographical borders. Our collaborative approach responds to pressing issues by generating and advancing new understandings and providing thought leadership to drive innovation and create inclusive and sustainable digital futures.
The BDFI is currently the operational lead for the IDFN, championing the vision of the Network as a global force for good by drawing on a diverse spectrum of people across sectors and disciplines to co-create new opportunities and initiatives that will meet the world’s needs.
