"The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads"

We are CADA: a network of STEM students and practitioners that has real-world impact.
CADA is a place to put your quant research and coding skills into practice in ways that can influence wider society, alongside your studies or job. You will meet like-minded people, encounter exciting new ideas, build things and have a platform for changing the public debate.
Our network is growing. Click here to express interest in joining the CADA network.
Aims
Bring more young scientists into the space of influencing change via their skills and interests
Produce useful research and resources for wider movements for equality and action on climate
Connect young scientists with progressive employers and movements to put their skills to use after graduation
Introduce those students going into the tech sector to relevant trade unions so that they are aware of their rights at work
About
CADA is a social network and collaborative working group for STEM students alongside their studies. It allows them to get involved in interesting, impactful projects, build networks of friends and collaborators, and develop their employment options with progressive organisations.

Congregate
We bring STEM and data science students and academics together at local and national scales, online and in-person.
Augment
Some outputs bolster specific, existing initiatives for good, others are useful resources to augment many different actors (e.g. climate research, poverty-related data creation). All research outputs and prototypes are made publicly available and open-source.
Develop
The network encourages creativity in scientific practice and thought. It's a community where individuals develop their skills together, as well as their political understanding.
Action
We build prototypes and tools for progressive causes. Research outputs from the network are put out online for free via a dedicated virtual resource (including code, data sources and so on). Network members have access to Autonomy's communications expertise and networks - in order to optimise impact.
