About URBAN INNO
A significantly better linkage of actors within urban innovation ecosystems (public authorities, research organizations, industry as well as end-users respectively customers and citizens) is needed for a better use of innovation potentials. Public and private sectors recognize that there is especially a significant gap in the field of participation in innovation processes from people as citizens and as users and customers. Many smart solutions, technologies and services are not used widely because of the lack of knowledge and motivation or acceptance of end-users.
URBAN INNO focuses on maximizing innovation potentials of urban ecosystems through:
- Better linking actors in innovation systems by establishing and interlinking quadruple helix clusters and networks in the partner regions; and
- Developing and implementing new participatory methods and tools to engage end-users in innovation processes with the objective to have educated and motivated users.
URBAN INNO will be implemented in small-medium sized urban ecosystems in central Europe with strong replication potential due to the big number of similar-sized cities in the EU. Quadruple-helix networks will be established and regional/urban innovation action plans developed (setup of demo centres and testbeds for industry). In parallel, new participatory methods and tools will be developed and tested in pilot projects. Participative urban environments will substantially improve their innovation performance with the established innovation environment. A transnational cooperation strategy and platform will provide all interested regions the best available participatory tools and qualified facilitators and best practice will enable transfer and exchange of urban innovation models and practices throughout central Europe.
Our project is funded by the Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE Programme that encourages cooperation on shared challenges in central Europe. With 246 million Euro of funding from the European Regional Development Fund, the programme supports institutions to work together beyond borders to improve cities and regions in Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia.

This presentation was used during the European Conference on Quality in Official Statistics (Q2022) in order to illustrate the Italian Open government Strategy on cohesion policy that is relying on the OpenCoesione initiative coordinated by the Evaluation unit of the Department for Cohesion Policies of the Italian Presidency of the Council of Ministers since 2011. Starting from the 2013 the OpenCoesione initiative is supported by "At the School of OpenCohesion (ASOC)" - an educational programme aimed at promoting and developing the innovative principles of active citizenship in secondary schools through the civic monitoring of projects financed by cohesion funds. Within the scope of the activities devoted to the development of statistical literacy the Italian national statistical Institute - ISTAT signed in 2018 (and renewed in 2020 ) an agreement for collaborating in the ASOC project and promoting the statistical culture also amon the teachers involved in ASOC by the means of specific and dedicated course named Statistical Culture+.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

7. GDP & Beyond for better statistics
From the beginning of the new millennium, the need to integrate GDP with
new indicators for the measurement of well-being and societal progress
aroused an intense global debate on the complex phenomena to this related
The discussion was carried out by numerous initiatives promoted firstly by
the public and private world of research
the data producers in government and statistical offices
to analyse and deepen
methodological and theoretical aspects
technical aspects
for the construction and dissemination of better statistics beyond GDP
7
8. GDP & Beyond for better statistics
The conclusions and recommendations of these initiatives provide the starting
point for Web-COSI
Some of them:
the
OECD World Forums (Palermo 2004, Istanbul 2007, Busan 2009 and New Delhi 2012)
the
EU “Beyond GDP” Initiative launched in 2007(EU Roadmap 2009)
the
Stiglitz-Sen-Fitoussi Commission (2008)
the Sponsorship Group on “Measuring Progress, Well-being and Sustainable
Development” (established in 2009 by the ESSC) (Final report 2011)
8
9. GDP & Beyond for better statistics
Thanks to the many important initiatives at European and global level, the
debate grew up enormously creating during the years a global movement
involving a multiplicity of actors
civil society organizations, social entrepreneurs,
consumers, workers, citizens and society at large
willing to give voice for the set up of new indicators to go beyond GDP
ICT revolution has given the opportunity to enlarge the engagement of all
stakeholders for the sharing of information and data on progress statistics
Web 2.0 applications, social networks and platforms, have introduced a new
participatory process experiencing the expansion of the horizons allowing
producers and consumers of content to meet interactively
9
10. GDP & Beyond for better statistics
The necessity to involve communities for better statistics beyond GDP has
consolidated during the years
bridge top-down and bottom-up approaches
in the recent years, using Web 2.0 many initiatives have been set up in this
direction
Among these:
OECD’s Better Life Initiative (2011)
designed to invite users to visualise and compare some of the key factors that
contribute to well-being
BES Initiative for Measuring Equitable and Sustainable Well-being in Italy (2011)
carried out stakeholders’ consultation to define the dimensions of the new
indicators and their components (others in Europe, National Well-being Initiative in UK,..)
10
11. GDP & Beyond for better statistics
During the last years several research and coordination projects have been
funded by the European Commission and the European Statistical System to
analyse and deepen the complex phenomena GDP & Beyond from diverse
perspectives, to pave the way for the future research activities
Among these:
e-Frame European Framework for Measuring Progress
CA project funded by DG Research and Innovation
Co-chaired by Istat and Statistics Netherlands
19 EU partners
(OECD, 4NSIs, 7 Universities, 5 Research Centres, 2 Civil Society Organisations)
Duration (1/2012-6/2014)
The experience of the European Network on Measuring Progress on
Wikiprogress.org

12. GDP & Beyond for better statistics
The European Network on Measuring Progress
Set up to connect stakeholders, researchers, civil society organizations,
policy makers and citizens to foster the engagement of society at large on
the topics GDP & Beyond and to state a European position
It was launched in June 2012
It is hosted by the platform Wikiprogress.org (OECD) and it functions alongside
the Regional Networks of Africa and Latin America
The European Network on Measuring Progress on Wikiprogress.org offers
interactivity in a global dimension through online discussions, blogs, eBrief,
news alerts,…
12
13. GDP & Beyond for better statistics
The above debate and initiatives allows to define the main streams for better
statistics beyond GDP research
on theoretical and methodological aspects of the measurements
(set of indicators, composite indicators, dash board,..)
on the development of tools to collect, produce and share data
using the opportunities given by Web2.0
foster the use of non official data (open data/big data)
empower the use of civil society grass root local data
on communication aspects to
involve communities for the construction of statistics
educate for the understanding and usage of the new indicators
13
14. Web-COSI project
Web-COmmunities for Statistics for Social Innovation
arises from the GDP & Beyond debate and the global crowd sourcing
experiences and initiatives to it related, where Internet communities interact
providing a measure of how the roles of producers and users of information are
radically changing
Web-COSI is based on the awareness that the power of online communities
grows ever stronger and that the Institutions of diverse type and scope cannot
ignore their centrality to produce better statistics for better policies, steering to
take co-established decisions responding to the real social needs.
increasing trust in collectively - generated statistics
14
15. Web-COSI project
Web-COSI will carry out its activities in 24 months
1 January 2014 -31 December 2015
starting from the mapping of beyond GDP existing initiatives
in the next months the work plan will carry on specific initiatives and target online campaigns with the aim to empower the engagement of communities in the
debate on progress statistics, reaching a high level of citizens’ involvement at
the end of the project
the development of a Wiki of progress statistics, at mid term of the project, will
constitute a tool to manage for the collection of civil society grass root locally
generated non-official data integrated with official data
15
16. Web-COSI project
The digital activities of the project will be carried on Wikiprogress.org and on
www.webcosi.eu and on the other Internet platforms managed by the partners,
using social networks, online discussions, blogs, eBrief and an extensive
network and local grassroots partnerships.
A strong communication strategy on the work on going will be carried out
through videos and short films for social media distribution.
16
17. Web-COSI project
During the life of the project communication and dissemination open events
will be organised: 5 workshops, 4 focus groups and a final conference.
The open events will be organised in order to involve the greatest number of
audience. At this aim most of them will be webcast live and audio recorded so
that podcast and Youtube videos of the highlights can be created and shared
with a wider audience. Video conferencing will be made available.
In order to foster the discussion the workshops can be anticipated by call for
ideas and a forum on the major questions of their topics.
Mechanisms for information-sharing with Eurostat, will be undertaken and these
will lead to better dissemination and exploitation of project results and activities.
The role and the presence of the relevant EU DGs and of Eurostat will be
actively encouraged at the workshops and the final conference of the project.
17
18. Web-COSI project
Stocktaking and reporting documents on the involvements of communities on
statistics beyond GDP in Europe and abroad will be delivered.
During the two years concertation meetings with CAPS projects will take
place to share experiences and best practices to develop synergies.
Moreover, the project will take stock from on-going or just completed related
EU FP7 initiatives and Eurostat initiatives. Connections and interactions with
projects will be fostered.

26. Web-COSI impact
The achievements of the project will impact on the main streams of the EC call:
catalyzing and enabling new production and consumption patterns, lifestyles,
and socio-economic processes based on commons, sharing, exchange, and
participation at local and global scales
definition of new concrete mechanisms increasing society's resilience,
enabled by a more accurate understanding and management of social and
environmental problems
strengthened evidence of social innovation based on collective knowledge,
which can also make possible new forms of foresight in society (by public
bodies, organisations as well as by citizens)
providing advanced concepts and tools enabling people and communities to
share, collaborate, and make use of data/information generated, empowering
future social entrepreneurs and innovators to engage in innovative service
creation and delivery

27. Web-COSI impact
The Consortium is multidisciplinary and well-balanced to work creating
synergies in order to impact towards a growing integration of top-down and
bottom-up approaches for better statistics beyond GDP.
The activities will be carried out connecting with the diverse categories of the
stakeholders: from the academia, the business world, the civil society
organisations and the producers of data to the citizens and society at large.
The project will take advantage from the results of on-going or just completed
related EU FP7 initiatives and Eurostat initiatives. Connections and interactions
with projects will be fostered.
The Consortium will be supported by an Advisory Board, composed by
outstanding known personalities, who will provide advice and guidance for the
development of the project to ensure high quality and excellence.
Achieving its results Web-COSI will pave the way for future research needs
identifying the open issues on the integration of official and non-official statistics
