The engineering team behind Advocacy Unified Network.
AUN Digital is the permanent technology capability of Advocacy Unified Network — a five-engineer team in The Hague that designs, builds and operates every platform the network runs on. We exist so that a mission-driven organisation never has to depend on borrowed tools or one person's availability again.
A permanent system, not ad-hoc tooling.
Advocacy Unified Network works to close governance gaps and accelerate the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Work at that scale needs software it can rely on: platforms for policy research, campaign coordination, publishing, accreditation and public accountability.
AUN Digital was formed to build that foundation properly — one team, one design language, one platform architecture, and full ownership of what we ship. We do not outsource the network's core infrastructure, and we do not launch things we cannot maintain.
Who we are, on the record.

How to verify any of this yourself
We don't ask you to take our word for it. Advocacy Unified Network's full legal registrations — Dutch KVK, US IRS 501(c)(3), ROR, ISNI, Crossref Funder ID and Wikidata — are each independently verifiable at their issuing registries, published in one place on AUN's Transparency & Credentials page ↗.
And our engineering claim is checkable in seconds: every live property in the ecosystem — aunetwork.org and GloVIN among them — carries a "Powered by AUN Digital" credit in its own footer. Scroll to the bottom of any of them; it's there.
The standard we hold.
Six rules govern everything we ship — for the network and for external partners alike.
Nothing ships with placeholder data
No Lorem ipsum, no invented people, no sample testimonials. If a page cannot be made real, it does not go live. This is the rule we never break.
Evidence over claims
Every number we publish carries a public source. Registrations, accreditations and metrics link to the registries and records behind them.
Ship something public every week
Small, verifiable increments beat big announcements. Friday is ship day across the team — progress you can check, not roadmaps you have to trust.
Security and privacy by default
Self-hosted fonts, minimal third-party tracking, GDPR-conscious architecture. The sector's data is sensitive; our defaults treat it that way.
Accessibility is a feature, not a fix
Semantic markup, keyboard navigation, reduced-motion support and readable contrast are built in from the first commit — not retrofitted before launch.
One design language, one architecture
Every ecosystem property stands on the same shared stack. Common ground makes every property faster to ship and cheaper to maintain.
What that standard produces.
Three flagship products on the AUN Platform and seven ecosystem properties — engineered, shipped and operated by this team.
