FWO Granted Fellowship (Belgium): A risk to a right.
NWO, ESRC and FAPESP funding: SmartGov (Smart Government for Sustainable Cities); August 2015 to August 2019; the project seeks to identify key socio-technical ingredients for the successful implementation of sustainable urban ‘smart governance’.
Horizon 2020 –Making Sense – empowering citizens through personal digital manufacturing, co-designing and deploying of environmental sensors; from 2015-11-01 to 2017-10-31; aimed to explore how open source software, open source hardware, digital maker practices and open design can be effectively used by local communities to fabricate their own sensing tools, make sense of their environments and address pressing environmental problems in air, water, soil and sound pollution.
Horizon 2020 – CAPTOR Collective Awareness Platform for Tropospheric Ozone Pollution; from 01-01-2016 to 31-12-2018; pilot citizen monitoring stations in Austria, Italy and Spain.
European Research Council (ERC) – Citizen Sense; from January 2013, investigating the relationship between technologies and practices of environmental sensing and citizen engagement.
Smart Citizen KitOpen source technology for citizens’ political participation in smarter cities. Smart Citizen is a platform to generate participatory processes of people in the cities. The objective of the platform is to serve as a node for building productive and open indicators, and distributed tools, and thereafter the collective construction of the city for its own inhabitants.
FP7 EPINET – EPINET introduces the concept of epistemic networks as a way of conceptualizing complex developments within emerging fields of sociotechnical innovation. It establishes a weak or “soft” framework within which the plurality of different assessment practices can be explored in a concerted and holistic manner. EPINET uses this concept to study Wearable sensors for activity and physiological monitoring; Cognitive technical systems (mainly robotics); Synthetic/ in-vitro meat; Smart grids for power supply. EPINET is an EU funded project under the seventh framework program, coordinated by the Centre for the studies of the sciences and humanities, University of Bergen.
FP7 Technolife – An interdisciplinary research project on the ethics of emerging science and technology, coordinated by the University of Bergen. The Technolife team has experimented with social media and films in order to develop methods to better represent citizens’ concerns and imaginations of technological and social development to policy makers and researchers. In our online forums we have invited interested and concerned parties to discuss ethical and social aspects of biometrics, human enhancement and geographic imaging systems (GIS).
