Waag Talks at DDW: Start Making Sense

Waag Futurelab

How can we move beyond closed technologies to empower citizens as active agents for environmental sensing?

Baltan Laboratories

How can we move beyond closed technologies to empower citizens as active agents for environmental sensing? Waag Futurelab invites citizens to take the stage and engage in a dialogue with the government and open hardware makers. We will look into the possibilities of citizen-driven environmental measurement, citizen ownership of open data, and hardware design.Who should make the rules of participation and who benefits? Together, we will start to develop civic-public-private partnerships, addressing critical issues such as valorisation of open data, hardware and trust, as well as design, development and social diffusion of innovative solutions. During the panel talk, speakers from diverse concern and interest groups are invited to share their point of view on the topic. We will conclude with an inspiring tour of the Dutch Design Week exhibitions.Practical informationDate: Friday 28 October 2022Times: 13:30 - 14:00 hrs - Welcome &amp; drinks14.00 - 15.45 hrs - Panel &amp; Talks: Start making sense- Citizen Stage (Community members of environmental citizen initiatives)-﻿ Panel Moderated by Lucas Evers (Waag)- Speakers: Ivonne Jansen Dings (Strategic Advisor Technology, Society and Ethics, South Holland Province), Ollie Smeenk (CEO-Chairman SODAQ), Crail Liu (Director of Sales Seeed Studio), Jean-Paul Close (Co-founder AiREAS), Dr. Anna Berti Suman (Marie Curie postdoctoral researcher The European Commission JRC, project leader Sensing for Justice)16:00-18:00 hrs - DDW Tour Walk &amp; Talk and visit to the Waag exhibition (klokgebouw)Location: Baltan Laboratories · Kastanjelaan 500, 5616 LZ Eindhoven (in the basement)Cost: Access to the talk is free.
