Tools for Managing Diversity and Countering Social Polarization in European Organizations

otherPrototypeTRL 2Thin data (2/5)

Imagine a city where some people are being pushed out of the conversation by loud, aggressive groups. This work studies how those attacks happen and creates a playbook to bring everyone back to the table. It's like building a better set of rules for a club so that no one is bullied out and everyone feels safe to participate.

The business problem

The solution

What was built

The project is building a set of practical tools, a network of intersectional feminist media, and a theoretical report on European democracy trajectories.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is heavily academic, consisting of 13 universities and only 1 industry partner (an SME). This 7% industry ratio indicates the project is primarily driven by research and theoretical development rather than commercial application, though the inclusion of an SME suggests a small bridge to practical implementation.
