📢 New publication from one of our consortium members!
A recent paper, “A set of prescriptive design principles to support community value coherence and foster digital tool adoption”, explores how digital tools can be designed to better align with community values and encourage meaningful adoption.
The study proposes practical principles to help ensure technologies support community priorities, trust, and long-term engagement.
