Presentation delivered at the Cultural Leadership Forum in Taipei on December 1st 2018. It deals with cultural leadership issues based on my experience at DesignLab, Waag Society, V2_ and Tetem.
DesignLab is a creative and cross-disciplinary ecosystem, connecting science and society by way of creative intelligence and transdisciplinary innovation. It fosters an entrepreneurial mind-set; contributes to educate global citizens of tomorrow, focuses on societal challenges and forges new and effective collaborations. Faculty and students from various academic fields work together with companies and governments to implement and develop scientific and technological insights that can be used in finding and shaping creative, innovative and meaningful solutions for complex societal challenges. Positioned deliberately at the cross-roads of design (thinking), technology, science and humanities, it both bridges and transcends traditional ways of innovation.
Beyond the smart city. How open data, maker spaces and open IOT infrastructures can empower citizens to become the makers of change we duly need. While technology can make our lives easier and service provisioning more efficient, disruptive innovation comes from people who want to take their futures into their own hands. Entrepreneurs, hackers, designers, civil servants and inhabitants unite: here comes the hackable city.
Presentation delivered at Mess & Order, Stavanger, during the 2016 Hackathon.
A rapidly growing number of Smart Citizens take the future of the cities in which they live, work and play into their own hands. This takes knowledge, stamina, and access to networks of likeminded people. A large number of labs – like Fab Labs, Wet Labs, Maker Spaces and Code Clubs - are the places where this is happening at an increasingly massive scale. Their protagonists are artists, scientists and hackers, together cracking the code of hardware, software and wetware, coming up with new ideas and developing meaningful applications. In doing so, they gain a deeper understanding of the issues and forces that shape our world, and become (once again) the makers of change that our societies dearly need.
Presentation delivered at the Joint Research Center on April 9th.
Makers of Change & The Third Industrial Revolution - which might be up for revision since the Forth has been announced. However, here it is, marvelling the advances and aims of the Maker Movement for changing the Way Things Work.
Presentatie tbv. de kick-off van Schiedam Lab, op 5 november 2015. Over slimme burgers in slimme steden, en digitale sociale innovatie: deeleconomie, crowdsourcing, crowdfunding & collective intelligence. Over zelf maken en verantwoordelijkheid voor de plek waar je woont, werkt en leeft.
Het nieuwe maken - de derde industriële revolutieFrank Kresin
Presentatie tijdens Emerce Eday, 8 oktober 2015, over het nieuwe maken. Hoe ziet de maker movement eruit, waar zijn die makers te vinden, wat zijn hun ambities en resultaten, en hoe kunnen bedrijven hierop inspelen?
Environmental pollution is causing a wide range of diseases and premature deaths. Yet, public understanding of these important issues are lacking. The Smart Citizens Lab helps citizens to use open source hard- and software to complement existing environmental sensor networks and gain a better understanding of the current state of pollution, and make this insight actionable.
This presentation was delivered first at the Montréal Smart City Expo, March 26 2015.
Presentation delivered in a World Bank workshop on innovation hubs in Gran Concepcion, Chile, on October 6th till 10th 2014. The slideshow outlines Waag Society's approach and consists of four themes: ecosystem, delivering value, developing services & business, and delivering to the real world.

Smart Citizen Kit in Barcelona, Amsterdam & ManchesterFrank Kresin
From March till June, the Barcelona built Smart Citizen Kit was implemented in Amsterdam. The project aimed to help citizens to get a better grips on the local climate, and to stimulate discussion between citizens, and between citizens and city officials and servants. This presentation talks about the reason for the project, the affordances of the Smart Citizen Kit, and
The project was initiated by Waag Society and Amsterdam Smart City, and partnered with Fablab Barcelona and FutureEverything. It was additionally funded by the Fund for the Creative Industries, NL.
Waag Society @ Labs for Creativity & InnovationFrank Kresin
Presentation about Waag Society, Institute for Art, Science & Technology, delivered by me at "Labs as Interfaces for Creativity and Innovation" in Berlin, 23th of June 2014.
CyberSalon - Smart Citizens, Cities & the Case for CitySDKFrank Kresin
What is the role of open data in smart cities - and how to get the most value out of it. The CitySDK Linked Data framework allows cities to publish real-time, five star linked open data; it allows developers to make software that scales, and citizens to choose for the best apps from around the world. Amongst the cities to implement CitySDK are Amsterdam, Manchester, Helsinki and Lisbon; many more to follow.

Presented on the 27th of May at the CyberSalon in London, thanks for Eva Pascoe & friends.
Smart Cities, Smart Citizens and the case for the CitySDKFrank Kresin
Presentation at Information Access in Smart Cities workshop in Amsterdam, 13/04/2014 - on how smart citizens should be the focus in smart cities, and what CitySDK does to make it possible. The presentation starts with some design rules for smarter cities, then introduces Waag Society, and quickly moves on to the Amsterdam Case for Open Data. Then the shortcomings of this approach are described, after which it introduces the City Service Development Kit - a set of bottom up, harmonized API's for software development that scales across cities and countries. Some examples are presented, and it gets back to the central thesis: design smart cities with the people, not for or against them.
CitySDK Linked Data API presentation delivered at the National Open Data Congress, 28 februari 2014, Eindhoven, and, extended, at FutureEverything 2014, Manchester. CitySDK LD API provides services to collect, annotate, link, share and build on Open Data. It is used by cities, developers and small & medium sized enterprises to build applications that scale across departments & cities. More info can be found on http://citysdk.waag.org/api
