- | All Day Venue: Copenhagen, Denmark D-CENT event
Launched in 2012, Crowdsourcing Week is committed to help organizations transition into a more open, connected, and socially productive society. For 2014, Crowdsourcing Week events are focused on the theme, “Crowd Impact – Empowering Transformations” providing attendees with inspirational ideas, tools and mindset to bring crowd applications for social, economic and environmental well-being. In 14-16 of October the event is organised in Copenhagen.
Crowdsourcing Week Europe 2014 is a 3-day conference for Europe. It will see decision makers from various sectors congregate to share and learn best practices on the collaborative economy, that are fundamentally changing society, mindsets and possibilities for finance, business, government and non-profits.
On October 14th, the EU wide research project on Digital Social Innovation (DSI) will arrange a session in which Joonas Pekkanen from Forum Virium Helsinki will speak about D-CENT. More info about the programme will be updated to the event website.
The seminar aims to develop a common background for understanding the new forms of production and valorisation based on the Internet and the emerging identity eco-system. In particular, this workshop wants to investigate the emergence and expansion of the “identity marketplace” and focusing on its implications and consequences on the economy and shifting relationships of power.
During the last few years, the Internet economy has mainly developed using a business model that offers services for free to the end users, but at the same time creates profits by aggregating, exchanging, and selling personal data with implications on the users’ privacy and digital rights.
The seminar on the 5th of October Internet identity ecosystem – The evolution of the Internet is open for everyone. The opening session and working group are invite-only.
The open seminar’s panelists and keynotes include speakers like Federico Primosig, Carlo Formenti, Maurizio Lazzarato, Bifo, Jeremie Zimmerman, Stefano Rodotà, Eygeny Morozov, Smàri McCarthy, Francesca Bria, M15 Spain, Pirate Party Iceland, Citizen Foundation Iceland, M5S Italy, Loa Acrobax basic income platform, Costituente dei Beni Comuni, Movimento Passe Livre Brazil and Ilenia Caleo.
Since 2004, Personal Democracy Media has helped nurture a world-wide conversation about technology’s impact on government and politics, and society with a conference, Personal Democracy Forum (PDF). This year, the conference comes to Italy. PDF Italia, organised in Rome on September 29th, will focus on the impact of data on society and its consequences for all its actors, most of all on citizens.
It will be part of Innovation Week, a week of debates, meetings and forums dedicated to the new frontiers in the digital revolution. The topics range from Open Hardware to Social Innovation and Democracy, from City Makers in the Collaborative Economy to Open Data and Impact Finance.
D-CENT Project Manager Francesca Bria will be participating the Track C: ‘Bricks and mortar’ for civics: a new quest for citizens’ trust with Paola Bonini, Carola Frediani, Sam Lee and Sergio Maistrello.

El grupo de investigación Redes, Movimientos y Tecnopolítica del IN3/UOC y la red de investigacion DatAnalysis15M, organizamos un segundo encuentro conjunto para planificar nuevos retos de investigación colectiva. El II Encuentro de Datanalysis15M: Modelos, analogías y análisis de las mutaciones y evolución del movimiento red 15M se celebra los próximos dias 18 y 19 de septiembre en la sede del IN3, en Barcelona.
Ambas redes de investigación se concentran durante dos días para presentar nuevos trabajos en curso y construir nuevas hipótesis y desafíos colectivos de investigación, vinculadas a la evolución del movimiento red 15M desde el 2011 hasta sus secuelas y efectos en la actualidad. Próximamente se publicará el libro Tecnopolítica y 15M. La potencia de las multitudes conectadas. Un nuevo paradigma de la política distribuida, que es el fruto de la primera investigación colectiva de ambas redes y del cual se puede leer un avance en este working paper.
El encuentro
En dos sesiones abiertas al público y que serán retransmitidas por stream, los y las investigadoras compartirán los trabajos recientes de la Red Datanalysis15M. Esto supodrá anadir nuevas perspectivas a las líneas de investigación que ya se están desarrollando en el marco de los movimientos en red y las metodologías de análisis de éstos, que se suman al trabajo conceptual, metodológico y analítico ya realizado en los ultimos años.

Workshop: The alternative Internet(s), state of the art and the possible future
- | All day Venue: London, Great Britain D-CENT event
The Internet has been conceived as a distributed, decentralized and self-organized network. However, it is slowly being transformed to a highly centralized system dominated by the services offered by big corporations such as Google and Facebook. This evolution has important implications for both civil liberties (e.g privacy) and economic freedoms (concentration).
Several research and activist groups and projects worldwide try to avoid dependencies at different layers and design proposals of an alternative Internet. This workshop will explore the techno-politics, architecture frameworks, governance and socio-cultural implications of alternative internet projects.
D-CENT Project Manager Francesca Bria will have a presentation together with Amelia Andersdotter and Alison Powell in the second day of the event. The session dives into future steps of alternative Internet(s), like policy recommendations, collaborations, networks, events and marketing.
The workshop is supported by the CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research) Interdisciplinary Programme on Communication Sciences and part of the project Alternet on Alternative architectures of the internet : risks of network (de)centralisation.
Additional support is provided by the Department of Media and Communications of London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), the CNRS Institute for Communication Science (ISCC), Paris Sorbonne-Universités, the French National Agency for Research within the frame of the Adam project, and the European Network for Internet Science.
As part of the the Internet Governance Forum 2014 in Istanbul, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) organises a session themed “Crowdsourcing a Magna Carta for ‘The Web We Want'”. Could we, as international citizens of the Internet, create a set of general principles, a “Magna Carta” for the Internet? Can we design a platform that enables us to crowdsource from across the world a vision for the “Web We Want”?
Panelists from across the world will discuss and compare their experiences in large-scale constitutional crowd-sourcing, and will suggest best practices in order to extend these efforts in designing participatory platforms to engage users in political discussion and action.
The Ninth Annual Internet Governance Forum Meeting will be held in Istanbul, Turkey on 2-5 September 2014.
