The second is the ESRC Digital Good Network which is building a research community focused on what a good digital society should look like and how we get there.
You will help to ensure the smooth running of the ‘Including Public Voices in RAI’ programme and of the Digital Good Network, by providing a range of support including through the administration of a funding programme, organisation of events and maintaining financial records.
