TRANSCEND seeks to propose, test, and evaluate methodologies that can enable civil society including people with different security needs and vulnerabilities, to participate meaningfully in the development and deployment of security research and technologies.

The project will contribute methods for meaningful participation that are aligned with society’s needs and values. TRANSCEND seeks not only to provide existing or new methods for societal engagement but also to pave the way for the effective and meaningful utilisation of these methods in real-world contexts to produce security solutions and technologies that are transparent, privacy-sensitive, open source, friendly and easy to use.
