Active identities
«Active Identities» delivers:
Exploring the challenges and opportunities that emerge from
the new uses of digital identities
Digital identity is the pivoting, federative element of most of the
new services and practices that emerge today on the Internet. It is
also, potentially, a powerful empowering tool for individuals and communities. In order to make the
most of this potential, however, we must move from a
defensive paradigm to a strategic paradigm focused on projection as
well as protection.
The «Active Identities» program explores the challenges and
opportunities that emerge when identities are seen as a means for
individuals to master their lives and, for organizations, as a source of
innovation and value creation.
Surveys: Individual tradeoffs around the transmission of personal data; Self-display and choice of «friends» in social networks (Sociogeek); Use of microblogging.
Experimentations: Twittywall, CV 2020, Serious avatars, Skills and competencies Wiki...
Thematic reports: «The Internet of Subjects Manifesto» «Identities in Social Networks»
Public events: Project accelerators, Barcamps, conferences
Website: www.identitesactives.net
Cities 2.0
«Cities 2.0» delivers:
Using technology to improve urban life, and urbanity to transform
technology
Mobility, sustainability, cohesion, competitiveness, ageing,
surveillance, participation... In a more and more urban world,
cities are changing fast. Technologies are the tools and the
catalysts of most of these transformations.
Since 2006, Cities 2.0 investigates the potential of technology to help
build a better city through open urban innovation: drastically
lowering the barriers to innovation, co-creating and
co-producing urban services, reinventing urban space and
proximity, agregating resources…
Creative workshops in major cities in France and elsewhere
Experimentations: the Green Watch/Citypulse CityWall, CityScan (real-time urban data mapping) Open innovation platforms
Books: «The City as Innovation Platform» «Free and Sustainable Mobility» «The Complex and Familiar city» «The 5th Screen»«Technology and Urban Foresight»
Website: www.villes2.fr
Ageing Lab
«Ageing Lab» delivers:
How can technologies change the way we age, and the way our
Societies age? How can active ageing change the way digital
products and services are designed?
The Ageing Lab’s goal is to explore the contribution of digital
technologies and services to quality of life, to social cohesion
and to economic growth in an ageing world.
Today, the encounter between digital technology and ageing
produces limited and sometimes counterproductive results. Ageing Lab aims at broadening the scope
of this encounter; Moving from health-oriented visions to
environments that include health and social services, social links with
friends, neighbours and family, lifestyle, etc.; Moving from «60+»
as a specific segment to intergenerational services; Using
co-design methodologies to inspire innovation...
Thematic projects: Habitat; Cross-generation business organizations Innovation, ageing and territories; Social networks Connected autonomy; Serious gaming.
Creative workshops for service innovation
