Science in a Digital Society
This report describes the main rational, objectives and outcomes of an institutional workshop - deliverable of the Action SIDSO (14099) for 2011 co- organised with the Anticipation at JRC Action and The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon. The workshop explored in an anticipatory mode how current and emergent ICT will affect the conduct of scientific research in the future. Presentations and discussions focused on specific aspects related to emergent methods for engaging society and publics on scientific issues, new approaches for data sharing, mass computing, sharing of analytical tools, evaluating results and disseminating findings. Attention was also paid to impacts and security aspects associated with those approaches, namely related to scientific data and tools access, dissemination and deployment. The workshop recommended a number of fields where more thorough attention needs to be given.JRC.G.6-Digital Citizen Securit
Metaverse. Old urban issues in new virtual cities
Recent years have seen the arise of some early attempts to build virtual cities,
utopias or affective dystopias in an embodied Internet, which in some respects appear to
be the ultimate expression of the neoliberal city paradigma (even if virtual). Although
there is an extensive disciplinary literature on the relationship between planning and
virtual or augmented reality linked mainly to the gaming industry, this often avoids design
and value issues. The observation of some of these early experiences - Decentraland,
Minecraft, Liberland Metaverse, to name a few - poses important questions and problems
that are gradually becoming inescapable for designers and urban planners, and allows
us to make some partial considerations on the risks and potentialities of these early virtual
cities

Integration + Innovation: Proceedings of the 2019 Building Technology Educators\u27 Society Conference
This volume contains papers, abstracts, and posters from the 2019 Building Technology Educators\u27 Society (BTES) Conference, which focused on Integration and Innovation as the theme. Innovation can begin with conjecture, with a searching for more effective solutions, or with an application to currently unknown or unarticulated needs. Innovation scholarship examines the personal intellectual habits that support new ideas, such as openness and exploratory behavior, as well as the circumstances behind the places in which creativity flourishes, such as support for cross-disciplinary fertilization and access to resources. The 2019 BTES conference explored the role of technology education and curriculum in cultivating these intellectual habits in our students (and ourselves) and in creating the organizational spaces in which the future of practice will be shaped. Sessions shared exemplary proposals of research and pedagogical applications that explore innovative practices and integrative thinking in the academy and profession
