DIGeMERGE

Digital Emergency Communication (DIGeMERGE) studies the use of digital communication platforms and tools in four highly digitalized European countries; Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. Using a grounded, applied approach, DIGeMERGE examines the scope and implications of the digitalization of emergency communication in these four countries, including debates about privacy and data protection and efforts to integrate user-generated content into emergency responses. DIGeMERGE is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme as a part of the Collaboration of Humanities and Social Sciences in Europe (CHANSE) program 'Transformations: Social and cultural dynamics in the digital age'.
