「Four Years After the Start of Implementing the Universal Human Rights Standards on Local Level Some Reflections on an On-going Process of Implementation」
- Hans SAKKERS
This document discusses the needs of European cities for Internet of Things (IoT) and data marketplaces. It summarizes an example project called CITYkeys that focused on performance measurement and involved cities in the process. It also discusses the creation of a data management task group and the importance of data access, availability, and usability for efficient city management. Finally, it outlines 10 principles from EUROCITIES around citizen data use, privacy, transparency, sharing, quality, and more.
The document discusses accessibility and open data. It notes that approximately 10% of populations have impairments and accessibility is recognized through directives and principles like the UN Convention on Disabilities. The document outlines three approaches to accessibility - as a requisite, result, or within the system. It identifies open data domains like mobility, education, and political participation that impact accessibility. Upcoming challenges discussed include expanding cross-border solutions, integrating AI while respecting privacy, and keeping accessibility data current.
The European Commission is working to promote open data policies across the EU. This includes reviewing the Public Sector Information Directive to expand access to public sector data, launching a pan-European open data portal, and funding research on open data and linked open data technologies. The Commission's Digital Agenda Commissioner Neelie Kroes is a strong advocate for open data and open access policies.
Director General of Emirates Identity Authority Cites Tahseen Consulting’s Wo...Wesley Schwalje
In his recent paper Open Data: A Paradigm Shift in the Heart of Government Ali M. Al-Khouri, Director General of the Emirates Identity Authority, cited Tahseen Consulting’s work on how social media technologies can be used to increase transparency and openness of Arab governments.
Al-Khouri cites Tahseen Consulting’s white paper An Arab Open Government Maturity Model for Social Media Engagement in explaining the need for governments to reflect joined up policy by reducing data silos. Tahseen Consulting’s social media maturity model challenges previous models of e-government and open government maturity based on the experiences of Western countries by offering region-specific guidance that accounts for the unique governance tradition of Arab public sector entities.
Our Arab government social media maturity model has been cited as a potential model for Korean public sector entities, highlighted by the World Bank as a valuable approach in communicating with Arab youth, and referenced in the World Wide Web Foundation’s Open Data Barometer.
InfoWeek Digitization Day - The e-ROSA projecte-ROSA
- eROSA is an 18-month project funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme to develop a roadmap for an e-infrastructure to support open science in agriculture.
- The objectives are to build a community of researchers and ICT specialists around this issue, improve understanding of relevant existing infrastructures and projects, and develop a shared vision and roadmap.
- There is a need for such a roadmap as the agricultural research domain currently lacks a coherent research infrastructure, and faces increasing data volume, variety and flows that require improved data sharing, interoperability and analysis capabilities.
This document discusses the importance of transparency in media ownership for democracy. It argues that mandatory reporting requirements are needed to identify the beneficial and ultimate owners of media outlets. Such requirements should apply to broadcast, print, and online media and collect basic information on ownership structure, financial accounts, and interests in other organizations. Media regulators should collect this information and make it publicly available to ensure transparency and prevent undue concentration of media ownership and political influence. Adopting clear rules and standards on ownership transparency is crucial to guarantee media pluralism.

The document summarizes a call from the European Commission in 2007 to build a Thematic Network on Privacy Protection Infrastructures. The goal was to facilitate an open European eServices market while allowing users to define and control privacy profiles across different privacy regimes. It would bring together stakeholders from government, enterprise, and civil society through 4 events over 2 years. The first event, called the European PrivacyOS Conference, would focus on Towards Privacy Friendly Identity Management and was scheduled for October 2007 in Strasbourg just before an international privacy and data protection conference. 16 partners from 9 countries and organizations agreed to participate in the open and collaborative network.
The document discusses the UniteEurope project, which aims to use social media analytics tools to support sustainable migrant integration policies. The project develops a web-based tool with different modules to collect, analyze, and visualize social media data from cities and organizations working in migrant integration. Some challenges addressed include legal and ethical issues around data privacy, ensuring the data is representative of diverse populations, and focusing on regions with high social media and internet access. The tool is meant to provide authentic citizen perspectives to help public and nonprofit groups improve migrant integration policies.
The document summarizes the context for housing first programs in Poland. It notes that the scale of homelessness is not fully understood due to incomplete data. Services for the homeless primarily provide temporary shelter rather than permanent housing. Social work focuses more on rules and contracts than psychological support. The effectiveness of current services and their cost-effectiveness is unknown. While housing first is discussed, there have only been a few small pilot programs involving around 20 people total. The organization presenting aims to work with the city of Warsaw on a larger housing first program and continue advocating for a housing first approach in Poland through research, networking and transparency.

Presentation by GSDI Secretary-General, Roger Longhorn, at the Infoter 5 Conference on 6 November in Balatonfured, Hungary, on the Spatially Enabled Society
The document discusses the European Commission's policy on Collective Awareness Platforms for Sustainability and Social Innovation (CAPS). CAPS aims to harness ICT networks and collective intelligence to create awareness of sustainability challenges and collaborative solutions. It supports new economic models beyond GDP based on open data, open source and participatory innovation. The 3rd call of CAPS in the Horizon 2020 Work Programme will fund projects that demonstrate new forms of bottom-up social innovation using digital tools to address issues like sustainable lifestyles, social entrepreneurship and digital rights.
This document summarizes a presentation about the eROSA project, which received Horizon 2020 funding. It discusses eROSA's vision for an open e-science infrastructure for agriculture. Some key points include:
- eROSA aims to provide shared semantics, data discovery services, and sustainable storage through resources like data portals and virtual research environments.
- It compares how organic agriculture aligns with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals around issues like increasing productivity and resilience while reducing environmental impacts.
- The document outlines eROSA's status in implementing facets of openness, interoperability, and reuse within the agricultural domain. It closes with eROSA's vision for collaborative, region-specific food systems by
HABITACT - European exchange forum on local homeless strategies - Amsterdam P...FEANTSA
A presentation given by Nienke Boesveldt, City of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, at a FEANTSA seminar on "Homelessness in public and private spaces: Mind the policy gap! Local strategies to address the different faces of homelessness", hosted by the Committee of the Regions, June 2010
The document discusses new projects from the 2nd Call of the CAPS Ecosystem including environmental sensing, redistributing surplus food, using ICT in social and health care and small-scale farming, addressing water scarcity, security and quality, and taking a collective approach to crises. It provides contact information for the CAPSSI community hub for sharing resources and ideas and subscribing to the CAPSSI NEWS channel, and announces the upcoming Digital Social Innovation Fair 2017 in Rome.
The European Commission promotes open data policies and activities in three key ways: as a policy maker through directives like the Public Sector Information Directive, as a data collector through agencies like Eurostat, and as a funding agency for research and innovation. The Commission aims to review the PSI Directive and launch a pilot European open data portal called data.gov.eu to make Commission and member state data more openly available and reusable.
The European Commission is developing a cloud computing strategy to make Europe "cloud-active" by 2012. It will address legal, technical, and market issues. The Commission is funding cloud research projects, consulting with industry, and plans to pool public sector procurement to boost the European cloud market and prevent vendor lock-in.
National governments have varying levels of awareness of the benefits of EU initiatives like INSPIRE and PSI Directives. Their readiness to meet legal requirements and engage constructively also depends on the initiative and how mature their processes are. For example, awareness of PSI benefits is highest while REFIT is lowest. Organizational readiness levels range from high for eGovernment to some remaining challenges for PSI in practice. National governments are generally willing to discuss these initiatives through cross-sectoral groups but face difficulties from differing timelines, priorities, and information flow coordination within and between member states.
This document summarizes the URBACT Integrating Cities Conference in Tampere, Finland in September 2013. URBACT is a European program that facilitates exchange and learning between urban policymakers to promote integrated and sustainable development. It has funded several networks exploring issues of migrant integration. The conference discussed URBACT's approach of using city networks, knowledge building, communication tools, and capacity building to support cooperation between cities on migrant integration challenges.
1. The document discusses a conference on how cities can better integrate migrants and promote co-development practices between local authorities. As more people move to cities, local governments are confronting the opportunities and challenges of migration.
2. It notes that while migration and development initiatives by local authorities exist globally, they often remain isolated. There is a need to structure cooperation between local authorities in different countries to jointly manage migration and exchange knowledge. Local authorities are on the front lines of impacts of migration through effects on labor markets and public services.
3. The conference aims to discuss partnerships and tools to increase knowledge sharing between local authorities, engage diaspora groups in co-development programs, and link migration and integration initiatives to local development
1) The document discusses how INSPIRE aims to increase sharing and reuse of spatial data by reducing data gaps and barriers between incompatible datasets.
2) It argues that open source software and putting data on the web using modular, interoperable tools can help meet INSPIRE goals and make spatial data infrastructure accessible to all organizations at local levels.
3) Choosing open source and web-based approaches provides benefits like flexibility, sustainability, and independence from any single supplier.
The European Commission promotes open government data in several ways: (1) through directives and policies regarding public sector information (PSI), scientific data, and cultural heritage data; (2) by funding projects related to linked open data and applications development; and (3) by hosting workshops and challenges to encourage open data use. The Commission is also working to review the PSI directive, launch an EU-wide open data portal, and develop recommendations around open access to scientific information.
OpenDataWeek Marseille : Gérald Santucci -- EU Harmonisation and the Data Val...Fing
The document discusses the EU's support for open data and harmonization efforts. It notes that open government data could generate €40-€140 billion annually for the EU economy. The G8 and EU have adopted open data principles and rules to unlock this potential through public sector information reuse. This includes the EU adopting new open data directives in 2013. The EU has also launched an open data portal and is working towards a pan-European open data infrastructure to facilitate access and reuse of data across borders. The goal is to maximize the social and economic benefits of open data.
The document discusses open data initiatives in the Piedmont region of Italy. It notes that the region provides seed money for multidisciplinary open data research through organizations like nexa.polito.it and evpsi.org. It also discusses the region's international links to open data organizations and its use of Creative Commons licenses like CC0 to make datasets openly available by default with some flexibility.
Heritage NGOs in Flanders and the Flemish heritage policy (Karel Dendooven)heritageorganisations.eu
VCM-Contact Forum for Heritage Organisations is a network organization founded in 1993 that supports over 260 heritage organizations in Flanders and Brussels. It provides resources and acts as an advocate for heritage organizations. Services include sharing information, legal and organizational documents, and advising the Flemish government on heritage issues. Through research projects and an advisory role, VCM-Contact Forum has influenced legislation on floating heritage and helped establish umbrella organizations.
The document discusses the Committee of the Regions' (CoR) role in promoting multilevel governance in the European Union on the issue of integrating third-country migrants. The CoR acts as a consultative body and advocate for local and regional authorities. It has committed to a "Strategic Partnership" with the European Commission to establish a network of local and regional authorities on integration. This network would facilitate information sharing of best practices, multilevel policy dialogue, and advocacy to involve local and regional authorities in integration policymaking at the EU level.
The Benefits of Linking Metadata for Internal and External users of an Audiov...Victor de Boer
Slides for the MTSR2018 presentation for the paper The Benefits of Linking Metadata for Internal and
External users of an Audiovisual Archive by Victor de Boer, Tim de Bruyn, John Brooks and Jesse de Vos
Like other heritage institutions, audiovisual archives adopt structured vocabularies for their metadata management. With Semantic Web and Linked Data now becoming more and more stable and commonplace technologies, organizations are looking now at linking these vocabularies to external sources, for example those of Wikidata, DBPedia or GeoNames. However, the benefits of such endeavors to the organizations are generally underexplored. In this paper, we present an in-depth case study into the benefits of linking the “Common Thesaurus for Audiovisual Archives” (or GTAA) and the general-purpose dataset Wikidata. We do this by identifying various use cases for user groups that are both internal as well as external to the organization. We describe the use cases and various proofs-of-concept prototypes that address these use cases.

Local Undocumented Migration Policy in the Municipality of UtrechtThomas Jézéquel
The document discusses the local undocumented migration policy of Utrecht, Netherlands. It outlines the basic legal principles that guide the policy, including obligations to provide shelter to vulnerable undocumented migrants based on human rights treaties and court rulings. The policy aims to prevent homelessness and illegal stay through support centers that provide coaching to help migrants obtain residence permits or reconnect to their home countries. Evaluation of the programs found better results than national policies, with many migrants gaining perspectives and reduced rough sleeping and criminal offenses.

This document summarizes a report on growing a digital social innovation ecosystem in Europe. Some key findings include:
1) Digital technologies are well-suited to helping civic action by mobilizing communities, sharing resources, and spreading power. Examples of digital social innovations (DSI) range from social networks for health conditions to open data platforms.
2) The report identifies four main technological trends in DSI - open hardware, open networks, open data, and open knowledge. Examples like Safecast and OpenCorporates are provided.
3) Over 990 DSI organizations and 6,000 projects have been mapped. Most projects focus on education and participation. The network is still fragmented with few well-connected
Thingscon Salon 4 - DATAStudio Klaas KuitenbrouwerThingsConAMS
The document discusses the DATAStudio project in Eindhoven that aims to reformulate the relationship between citizens and the municipality. It explores how to relate the narratives of smart cities and participation through discussions with experts and using data to understand realities in Woensel-Noord. The DATAStudio collects a variety of data through projects with citizens, schools and researchers to identify important issues and inform meaningful citizen-centric design for a smart society. It also discusses tensions between seamless technology processes and transparency for users.
Living Networks and Urban Labs are addressing major challenges facing cities through social innovation and citizen participation. Some key challenges mentioned include climate change, energy sustainability, and sustainable water and food supplies. Sustainable solutions require diverse knowledge and collaboration between public and private spheres. Living Labs create open ecosystems to engage stakeholders, stimulate collaboration and enable behavior transformation. ENoLL currently supports 236 European Living Labs and 38 outside of Europe, working to expand globally. Thematic subnetworks focus on issues like smart cities, health, and sustainability. ENoLL is developing a Public-Private Partnership initiative to support research, education, large-scale pilots and international collaboration to address challenges through user-driven open innovation.
This document summarizes different examples of cohousing projects across Europe and discusses cohousing as a form of community-driven and self-organized housing. It provides examples of cohousing communities in Sweden, Brussels, Milan, Vienna, and Munich that promote values like social inclusion, gender equality, and intergenerational living. The document argues that governments should support cohousing initiatives through policies, funding, and knowledge sharing to help address social and demographic challenges.
The document describes three projects and initiatives related to migrant integration:
1) CITIES GROW is a city-to-city support project running from 2017-2019 that aims to improve migrant integration policies through concrete actions in 16 EU cities.
2) D4I is a data challenge using a unique EU dataset on migrant communities in cities to foster research on local integration aspects.
3) Munich's Masterplan for refugee integration focuses on questions around empowering refugees from day one through education, housing, and community participation.
This document discusses a project called Digital Social Innovation that has three objectives: defining and understanding digital social innovation's potential, crowdmapping organizations working in the field, and developing policy recommendations to better support it. The project will map over 1,000 organizations across Europe involved in digital social innovation through open knowledge, open networks, open data and open hardware. It will analyze the network connections and identify strong and weak networks. The findings will feed into recommendations for the European Commission to better support this area. The project website is digitalsocial.eu, which aims to be a long-term resource for the digital social innovation community.
This document summarizes the activities of a joint UNDP-Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs initiative to support democratization, human rights, and civil society development in Ukraine.

This document discusses the benefits of opening cultural data. It notes that public money should yield public data, and that opening data allows for transparency, collaboration, combining of data, learning new things, and innovation. Several examples are provided of apps and tools created by combining open cultural and other types of data, such as environmental and transportation apps. Benefits include creating recommendations and predicting train occupancy. The document promotes opening cultural data to enable new insights and applications.
This presentation discusses the results of recent research conducted by Paskaleva on European trends on smart cities in the context of open innovation. It draws from analyses of key European Union programmes, latest international projects and related activities. The emerging new approach to open innovation is discussed that links technologies with people, the urban territory and other cities to reap the benefits of modern technological and social advance. It is suggested that using open innovation for building the smart (-er) city can be effective, efficient and sustainable but consistent frameworks, principles and strategic agendas are necessary to optimally bind these elements together.

「Social and Human Rights from Local Governments : The Experience of Guarulhos」
- Renata C. BOULOS
Vienna has a population of over 1.7 million people, with 49% having a migration background and 21% lacking Austrian citizenship. The city has implemented numerous initiatives to become a more equitable human rights city, including establishing a Women's Office in 1992, passing an Equal Treatment Act in 1996, and creating a Department of Integration and Diversity in 2004. Vienna adopted a human rights approach beginning in 1993 and officially began efforts to build a human rights city in 2013 through analysis, allocating resources, political and legal statements, and stakeholder engagement. The goal is to develop a new political culture based on human rights.

Gary Arnold gave a presentation about independent living and disability rights. He discussed the history of independent living and organizations that advanced the movement like Access Living. Access Living promotes independent living through services like housing assistance and legal advocacy. It also highlights success stories of people with disabilities living independently. However, Arnold noted there are still gaps in disability equality, like failures to close institutions in Illinois and issues with sheltered workshops. He sees opportunities to celebrate disability civil rights through anniversaries of important laws.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
