OP JAK – Excellence in research in the field of digital technologies and wellbeing (DigiWELL)

DigiWELL, or Excellence in research in the field of digital technologies and wellbeing, is a project led by Steriani Elavsky from the University of Ostrava, who has been our long-time colleague at IRTIS - we collaborated, for example, on the project "A Look into the Future: Understanding the Impact of Technologies on Adolescent Wellbeing." The goal of DigiWELL is to connect top scientists from eight partner institutions and various disciplines who will focus on the broad area of digital technology use in the context of wellbeing - physical, mental, and social well-being of the population. In the project, we will map and analyze the impacts of digital technology use on individuals and society, and we will also focus on developing new methods and tools to improve wellbeing (e.g., new applications and interventions). Subsequently, we will collaborate with technology companies and governmental and non-profit organizations to jointly translate our new findings into forms that will have practical impacts and benefits for the entire society.
