About SEDI
Research with a social purpose.
SEDI is the Society for Social Enterprise and Digital Innovation: an independent, online-first scholarly initiative exploring how digital change can serve social purpose.
Our work begins with a practical question: how can mission-driven organisations adopt new technology while staying accountable to the people they serve? We bring the organisational and social dimensions of digital change into the same conversation.
Founded in 2026 and based in Korea, SEDI is developing a research agenda across social enterprise, responsible AI and community innovation. Our initial focus is literature-based research, evidence synthesis and exchange between research and practice.
We work in English and Korean to make ideas easier to share across languages. People remain responsible for research and editorial decisions, with AI supporting tasks such as translation, drafting and organising sources.
How we work
Traceable evidence
Make sources clear, explain methods and distinguish research findings from proposals.
Useful to practice
Questions begin with the problems that social enterprises and community organizations actually face.
Human accountability
People take responsibility for research, editorial judgments and corrections. AI supports their work.
