Partnerships
Ɖʋkʋnɖǝ has established partnerships with:
IFREI, Institut Francophone des Risques sur l'Environnement et les Individus, which develops an operational methodology for a better approach to complex Risk-Conflict-Development situations. IFREI has formalised the concept of conflictuality, after having diagnosed the practical inoperability of the concept of resilience in conflict situations. IFREI is developing a neo-situationist approach to risk, particularly intangible risk. IFREI's conceptual and methodological contributions boosts Ɖʋkʋnɖǝ's situation analysis. In turn this provides IFREI with concrete issues to be analysed, thus fostering its reflections and allowing the evolution of conceptualisations based on specific cases.
ThirdBrain SA, which is a Swiss company created by Pierre-Jean Duvivier, in the field of new technologies. Pierre-Jean is a recognized actor in the advocacy of digital rights. ThirdBrain supports Ɖʋkʋnɖǝ's projects materially and technically.
