C-Urge project is a doctoral network set up to research and better understand the complexity of climate and enviromental change, that is happening on global, as well as on a local scale.
Through various research approaches set in various countries, we aim to highlight the notion of urgency and need to enrich the debate around the topic of environemtal change, that is both fast, and subtle and poses a serious challenge for the future.

Digital collection supporting a Transnational Disaster STS COVID-19 Collaboration Call, Thursday, July 2, 2020.
Documentation of permission provided by the UK Simon Community to open share a briefing document prepared for them by Amanda Windle.
Collection focused on ways COVID-19 is unfolding in different places.
This is very hard to say upfront. I'm not an advocate for saving data for the sake of it.
Understanding and having the option to have some data open and some data restricted ongoing. The button at the bottom of the Annotate tool is helpful in this respect.
As an academic that has recently left the institutional belonging for a moment to a university, I can answer this from two perspectives.
All of my digital design research projects have very specifc ways of digitally managing data, including building platforms for researchers in tech corporations (climate change or for spaces for protecting endangered species beyond borders). To manage digital data in their platforms.
Working with women-in-tech on their public leadership. The group required data to be shared and sjupport for one another via WhatsApp. This supported their Twitter and public TV experiences live.
Or working with those not engaging in multi-arts venues via building together an app - the process being the most successful outcome. We used the data management processes the funder required and also the design adn tech partners were using.
During Covid-19 digital data flows in the usual ways, but we're discussion new CRMs for fundraising right now. We share data in the usual way, but Zoom, WhatsApp and Skype scaffold a lot of our emphasis on face-to-face community engagement. We don't share data outside of the homeless charity on interaction numbers on the street etc, because like many charities it need not report data to the government. The charity does not share homeless data with governmental departements that share their data in ways we would not advocate for, unless it is required by law,— like auditing and tax.
This document is a briefing note that explores transnational perspectives on risk communication, drawing on discussion in the COVID-19 Transnational Disaster STS Project Design Group. The bri
