Five CHANSE projects were chosen competitively for the opportunity to co-create short films showcasing their research. This initiative was realised in collaboration with CHANSE Knowledge Exchange and Chocolate Films, an international video agency run as a social enterprise, based in London, UK. Funding was provided by the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ES/Y002903/2).
AUTO-WELF
Citizens across the EU are impacted by algorithmic systems in welfare provision in distinct ways. As these systems become more mundane and the welfare state is increasingly entangled with AI, citizens need to know what this means for their everyday lives.

DIGeMERGE
Everyone is at risk of experiencing a public emergency. But with the rapid development of new media and digital solutions for everything, how can we ensure that “nobody is left behind” in an emergency situation? How exactly can digital emergency communication save lives?
DigiPatch
The DigiPatch project aims to explore the psychological, social, and cultural mechanisms driving the emergence of radicalized groups—tribes—in the digital realm. Additionally, it seeks to understand the genesis of (micro)identities, their unique online dynamics, and the societal ramifications of their involvement in effecting social change.

SMARTUP
The SMARTUP project (CHANSE, 2022–2025) explores how digital infrastructures within homes impact daily life and often reinforce traditional divisions of labour and responsibility in different-sex couples, despite the promise of comfort and automation. Drawing on one work package based on 30 interviews in Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic, this video highlights how men frequently take on the role of household “tech gurus,” while women continue to carry the bulk of caregiving and domestic responsibilities. We emphasize the need to design smart technologies that support equity and inclusivity in everyday domestic life.
