The document discusses new demands placed on design, including sustainability, efficiency, and aesthetics. It explores tensions between intrinsic and cyclic aspects, and between design for developing and industrialized countries. The evolution of design is reviewed, from craftsmanship to mass production. Form following function is discussed, as well as Bauhaus ideals of design for social masses. Precedents in art and aesthetics around 1800 are examined, including rationalization of judgment and the philosophical disenfranchisement of art. Lessons for designers include facing challenges, incorporating them over time through dialogue and experimentation, and pursuing diverse and flexible strategies rather than single solutions.

Intrinsically linked: The role of consumers and the role of business CSCP
1) The document discusses the intrinsically linked roles of consumers and businesses in promoting sustainable consumption and innovations.
2) It argues that while consumer attitudes support sustainability, there remains a large gap with actual purchasing behaviors, and that consumers prioritize performance, convenience and price.
3) The document proposes that businesses can influence more sustainable consumer choices and behaviors through innovation, marketing, and product selection/removal, and outlines Henkel's sustainability efforts across its value chain, products, and communication strategies.
The document summarizes the Resource Efficiency Atlas project. The project aims to gather examples of efficient technologies and products to boost resource efficiency as a competitive advantage. It will create an atlas with descriptions of leading efficient technologies and products from Europe and other countries. The methodology includes expert interviews, analysis of examples, and strategy development to promote efficient technologies in Germany. The project seeks additional examples from various sectors to include in the international atlas.
Kraft Foods is committed to sustainability in its operations. It has set ambitious goals to reduce its environmental impact by 2011 and is on track to meet or exceed these goals. The company focuses on sustainable coffee and cocoa sourcing, partnering with Rainforest Alliance to purchase from certified farms. This improves conditions for farmers and protects ecosystems. Kraft uses cocoa and coffee from these sources in popular brands like Kenco coffee and Cote d'Or chocolate to be 100% sustainably sourced by 2012. The company also partners with other organizations to support agricultural development.
This document outlines the agenda for a workshop on promoting sustainable consumption and production (SCP) in the media. The workshop included presentations on how to promote SCP topics in the media and on a film called "The Invoice". It also involved an interactive media café discussion where participants discussed examples of SCP in mainstream media, differences between civil society organizations and media perspectives on SCP, and how to facilitate effective collaboration between these groups to reach mainstream consumers. The goal of the workshop was to explore how to more effectively promote SCP in the mainstream media.
How to use the EU Structural Fund for collaborative SCP actions?CSCP
This document discusses funding opportunities for collaborative sustainable consumption and production (SCP) action, including the EU Structural Fund. It provides an example project funded by the EU Structural Fund in Hungary that aimed to promote health and environmental awareness among consumers. The project conducted surveys and interviews in three Hungarian regions to assess consumption habits, environmental and health awareness, and information needs. It found that while price and functional attributes are priorities in product choices, knowledge of environmental labels is lacking. The project created a forum for stakeholders to discuss sustainability and better consumer information to "green" retailers.
The document discusses promoting sustainable consumption and production (SCP) topics through media. It begins by noting that media is an important way to provide prosocial information to the public. It then highlights some good practice media projects for SCP promotion, including an entertainment TV show collaboration in the Netherlands that embedded SCP lessons, a participatory web-based "carrot mob" campaign, and a public art campaign featuring melting ice sculptures. It concludes by reflecting on recommendations for strengthening information exchange networks, providing media-friendly SCP materials, clearly defining target audiences, and fostering research and debates around frameworks for SCP media collaboration.

The document summarizes key discussions from a conference hosted by SAPEA on new approaches to science for policy in Europe. Some of the main points discussed included:
- Collaboration within and across sectors is essential for success in addressing challenges.
- Social sciences and humanities play a vital role in policy advice.
- Scientists must engage with the public, not just inform them.
- International issues require an interdisciplinary approach.
- Citizens' concerns must be understood by scientists and policymakers.
- Creating inclusive communities for shared learning and dialogue is important.
Marine Sciences are of relevance to many societal challenges, as well as able to capture public imagination and interest. Despite that potential, we are not the leaders we could be at making all our research output publicly accessible, to allow citizen science to take place and facilitate public awareness efforts.
Open Science principles not only feed the need for impact in a "publish or perish" reality, it also fully complements Ocean Literacy and the need to educate and engage the public in marine policy formulation based on sound science.
So, can we afford NOT to make Marine Science open by default?

Citizen Science: An applied research designed for amateurs & volunteers - A ...Peri Kourakli
It is a type of research in which the citizens (amateurs and no professional researchers) take action and support a targeted research. The selection of the participants for this research varies from a very simple (open to anybody) to more complex processes (eg. to a selected audience or a selected number of participants).
The results of the research are analyzed by expert researchers who also ensure their publication to a broader or targeted audience.
This document summarizes a study on scientists' views of utopia in their work. It surveyed 388 scientists from different fields and continents. The study found the highest percentage of scientists with "no utopias" came from Europe, while Africa had the highest percentage with collective utopias related to knowledge. Individual utopias were more common in natural sciences. America had the most fully formed visions of science. Gender did not influence views of contemporary science. The study provided insight into how scientists currently view the relationship between science, knowledge, and communication.

What lies over the horizon? Scenarios to the Future of Social Sciences in the...Shermon Cruz
The year was 2040 when the social sciences transformed into something really unrecognizable.
The social science catalogue now includes courses like coding and decoding, myth and magic, food futures, reality engineering, micropolitics, macrohistory and macrofutures, decolonization, re-creativity and re-invention, foresight studies, big history and galaxies, robotics and space sciences, spirituality and social transformations, etc. This was the tip of the iceberg. The climate of uncertainty and the explosive success of digital technology not to mention some game-changing events like the Occupy Wall Street, the discovery of the Higgs-boson like particle, the emergence of culture as driver of new economic growth among others continue to influence our ways of knowing and re-perceiving the social sciences.
Recently, many academics have speculated about the future of the social sciences. The shape of things to come will certainly come in a digitized content and more according to experts. This paper explored some scenarios on the futures of the social sciences. It tracked emerging developments and explored the possible, plausible, and preferred social science scenarios in 2040. It employed the futures triangle and archetypal scenario (business as usual, best case, worst case, outliers) methods developed by Sohail Inayatullah and Peter Schwartz respectively.The purpose of this paper is to anticipate events and leverage the changes shaping the future of the social sciences.

Animal Cameras Virtual Reality And Factory FarmingKatie Robinson
This article discusses the use of new media technologies like aerial photography, drones, and virtual reality by artists and activists seeking to document the hidden lives of farm animals in large-scale industrial agriculture facilities. Such facilities actively work to prevent direct observation and documentation through policies like "Ag-gag" laws. Virtual reality documentaries aim to immerse viewers in the experiences of farmed animals in an effort to promote empathy and change viewing practices, but the article questions whether this can truly achieve experiencing life "from the animal's point of view" or put the viewer "in the animal's place." Overall, the article examines how new technologies both enable new forms of representing farm animals while also being shaped by the aims and constraints of industrial agriculture
Strategic Importance of Communicating (in) ScienceŽiga Turk
The document discusses how communication revolutions have impacted scientific communication and creativity. It argues that the invention of paper and printing enabled the flourishing of science in Europe by democratizing information. Similarly, the internet revolution offers opportunities for open scientific communication but also challenges like spreading pseudoscience. The document also examines the Lisbon Strategy, the EU's plan to promote innovation, creativity, and open access to knowledge through policies like facilitating knowledge transfer from public research.
Philosophy, Science, Arts, Technology: World Knowledge Grand UnificationAzamat Abdoullaev
This document discusses the need for a unified standard ontology and knowledge framework to integrate philosophy, science, and technology. It proposes developing a "wisdom web" through a federated knowledge architecture organized according to a standard ontology. This would create a unified scientific knowledge base and global research framework. It presents ideas for converging disciplines like mathematics, logic, and engineering with natural sciences, social sciences, and more. The goal is a future "Internet of Everything" with intelligent semantic capabilities based on a common understanding of reality and meaning across networks.
Breve charla dentro del Debate Ciencia ciudadana en acción junto con Ana Omedes, Toni Gabaldón y Daniel García.

Globalisation, climatic change and the exponential development of science and technology are compelling into the transition from Consumer Society to a Knowledge based Society, a society capable of developing itself durably in an enviroment which is limited in terms of matter and energy.
In the present context, supporting the young and guiding their intellectual and emotional development becomes crucial, for they are the ones who will actually conduct the implementation of this change. It will be their knowledge and their abilities to understand and to wisely manage the inherent crises of the globalisation process that the quality of our life, and maybe even the survival of human species, will depend on.
Without a coherent cooperation between family, school and social environment – in both its public and private dimensions – there is no means to ensure that critical mass of expertise, capable of managing coherently and equitably a social transformation of this scale.
In order to initialise such a process we need a „seed”, a place where the actors involved in this educational metamorphosis can meet on equal positions.
We have named this retort for the recrystallisation of the educational process „NEXUS” – a space for personal development, for motivation and for nurturing the abilities required by the features of a Knowledge based Society, a space for the awareness of the individual toward social, economic and cultural problems that affect humanity at regional and global level.

Stability During the Grand TransformationsŽiga Turk
Dr. Žiga Turk discusses the major transformations facing the world due to trends in abundance/automation (A), the rise of BRIC nations and globalization (B), climate change and energy (C), demography (D), and digital technologies (E). These transformations are global in scale and represent historic shifts from the industrial to creative economy, the decline of Western dominance, the end of fossil fuels, slowing population growth, and the digital society. He argues that in this new context, human capital through education and empowerment will be the most important resource, and that Western values of individualism, freedom, and democracy can empower citizens.
The Rainforest Alliance is a non-profit organization working to protect ecosystems and communities in over 60 countries. It certifies sustainable forestry and agriculture practices. For agriculture, it has certified over 1.3 million acres of farms producing coffee, tea, bananas and other crops. This includes 3% of the world's coffee and tea. The certification program evaluates farms' environmental management, worker treatment, resource conservation and other standards. Certified farms employ practices like maintaining wildlife habitats, reducing chemical use, conserving water and soil. The goal is to transform land use to benefit people, wildlife and the environment.
Towards Strong Sustainable Consumption GovernanceCSCP
The document discusses understandings and approaches to sustainable consumption. It argues that weak sustainable consumption policies focus too much on environmental and technological solutions without addressing consumption levels and economic growth. Strong sustainable consumption questions affluence and growth assumptions, supports well-being independent of markets, and reallocates resources to those most in need. It advocates strategies like social innovation, government responsibility, and debate to stimulate change towards strong sustainable consumption governance.

Rethinking economic growth: Toward an International degrowth networkCSCP
This document summarizes three upcoming conferences related to economic growth and degrowth.
The first event discusses establishing an International Degrowth Network through presentations on politics and degrowth, civil society and degrowth in Europe, degrowth and the firm, and policies for sustainable economies.
The second conference called "Growth in Transition" organized by the Austrian government, brings together stakeholders from various fields to discuss themes like money/finance, resource use, social justice, production/consumption, and more.
The third conference titled "Degrowth 2.0" aims to develop clear policy proposals and strategies for degrowth through cooperative research on topics such as money, work, infrastructure, advertising, and natural resources.
The document discusses the need for degrowth and moving away from perpetual economic growth models. It argues that green growth and decoupling economic growth from resource use is not enough due to rebound effects. Degrowth is needed to reduce absolute resource consumption within environmental limits. Fair sharing of natural resources and pollution rights between overconsuming and underconsuming groups is also discussed. The challenges are to design a planned degrowth path through participatory processes and future scenarios that are environmentally possible.
FORUM WASCHEN is a dialogue platform in Germany founded in 2001 to discuss more sustainable consumer behavior related to washing, dishwashing, and cleaning.

Mapping for sustainable consumption initiatives CSCP
This document discusses using mapping tools to better support sustainable consumption initiatives. It notes that while civil society is actively working on issues related to sustainable consumption and production (SCP), efforts could be more effective through better information sharing. The document proposes developing online maps to make local SCP activities and resources more visible. This could help avoid duplication, provide advice and support, and inform policy. It highlights examples of successful local mapping projects and suggests categories that could be mapped at a London-wide or European level to showcase good practices and engage more actors in SCP work.
International policy processes such as the Marrakech Process within the EU c...CSCP
This document summarizes a workshop on engaging civil society in sustainable consumption and production policy processes at the international and European levels. The workshop objectives were to discuss actions for better civil society engagement, how to use existing mechanisms more effectively, and what new mechanisms are needed. Participants discussed obstacles and opportunities through a SWOT analysis and solutions through a World Café format. Themes that emerged included establishing a stronger regulatory framework, setting specific targets, challenging underlying value systems, linking SCP to other priority issues, and creating a new funding framework. The document concludes by inviting participants to a cocktail reception.
Better or new NGO strategies to tackle the SCP challenge?CSCP
This document discusses developing strategies for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to more effectively address sustainable consumption and production (SCP). It notes that SCP is a complex systemic challenge involving many actors and domains. A survey found that NGOs have not fully incorporated this complexity and could improve by taking a more systemic approach, building cross-cutting coalitions, and better evaluating their actions. The document proposes a workshop to create a "roadmap" bringing together academics and NGOs to provide NGOs with knowledge and capacity for more effective SCP strategies and tactics. The roadmap would focus on improving short and long-term campaign strategies and measuring success.
This document provides an agenda and summary for Day 2 of a conference on sustainable consumption and production (SCP). The day includes workshops in the morning on partnering with researchers, influencing consumers, and engaging business. Afternoon sessions will report back on the workshops and discuss tools for implementation, stronger sustainable consumption, and communicating SCP through media. The document outlines the conference objectives, structure, and locations for each session. It also invites participants to continue the discussion online and provides information on follow-up activities and publications resulting from the conference.
Blueprint for Sustainable Consumption and ProductionCSCP
The document outlines a blueprint for sustainable consumption and production in Europe with three blocks or areas of focus. Block A aims to establish an institutional framework. Block B seeks to lead changes that can be implemented now, focusing on policy, business, consumers and society. Block C aims to develop inspiring approaches to changes facing more resistance now through practical examples, deliberation and analysis. The overall goal is a transition to living well within environmental limits.
The document discusses challenges and actions related to sustainable consumption and production (SCP). It summarizes the SCP/Sustainable Industrial Policy Action Plan adopted by the European Commission in 2008. The plan aims to promote more resource efficient and green growth through better products, smarter consumption, leaner production, and global cooperation. It establishes forums and initiatives to engage stakeholders on issues like energy efficiency, labeling, and sustainable supply chains. The challenges of measuring progress, incentivizing sustainable behaviors, and addressing global SCP are also noted.
Regional Environmental Center for CEE countriesCSCP
The document summarizes information from a conference on collective actions towards sustainable consumption and production. It discusses the Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe (REC), which works on environmental projects in Europe and beyond. Some key points made in the document include:
- The REC works on over 300 projects annually with a focus on sustainable consumption and production.
- Europeans overwhelmingly consider the environmental impact of products they purchase and support eco-labels and carbon footprint labeling.
- Common actions that have the greatest impact on environmental problems include buying energy efficient products and improving energy efficiency in general.
- The REC promotes SCP in the region through projects and working with organizations like the European Environment Agency on reporting and analyses.
This document provides an overview of the CSO Platform on SCP Project Closing Conference. The conference objectives are to provide a space for civil society organizations to identify research needs and influence political decisions on sustainable consumption and production. The scope focuses on food/drink, housing and mobility which are responsible for 70% of environmental damage in the EU. The project timeline is outlined, beginning with the launch conference in 2008 through the closing conference in December 2009. The two-day conference structure and agenda are detailed, with sessions on engaging civil society in policy processes, the civil society vision for SCP in Europe, and tools for effective implementation of SCP.
The document discusses sustainable lifestyles and proposes a Sustainable Lifestyle Award. It notes that western lifestyles typically have a very large material footprint. Sustainable lifestyles aim to meet needs, improve quality of life, minimize resource use and waste, and not jeopardize future generations. The award would assess individuals' lifestyles across ecological and social aspects and could involve groups competing in companies, schools and cities. Key questions for organizing the award include how to assess sustainable lifestyles, involve relevant organizations, find funding, and promote the award internationally.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Taking AI to the Next Level in Manufacturing.pdfssuserfac0301
Read Taking AI to the Next Level in Manufacturing to gain insights on AI adoption in the manufacturing industry, such as:
1. How quickly AI is being implemented in manufacturing.
2. Which barriers stand in the way of AI adoption.
3. How data quality and governance form the backbone of AI.
4. Organizational processes and structures that may inhibit effective AI adoption.
6. Ideas and approaches to help build your organization's AI strategy.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
