🌍 Exciting News: Embracing a Vision for African Modernity 🌟 In an era where the technofeudalist model strives to establish data monopolies, it's time to champion a vision of African modernity that speaks to our unique experiences and ideas. 🚀 Our mission at Atomos Dubaako is to craft ecosystems that transcend mere data extraction. We aspire to convey the rich tapestry of emotions, experiences, and contemporary thoughts that define our world. 📚 The roots of this concept may be traced back to Shoshana Zuboff's groundbreaking 2018 book, "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism," where the idea of tech giants amassing behavioral surplus data first took hold, even if she didn't use the term. 💡 The digital landscape is pivotal in shaping our future, both in society and business. It's our firm belief that any digital solution must be designed with public trust and ecological transition in mind. 📖 Zuboff's critique of Big Tech earned acclaim from esteemed institutions like the New York Times, the Financial Times, and even Barack Obama. Her work elucidated the tech monopolists' cultivation of users for data, underscoring the urgency of the matter. 🌱 Atomos Dubaako is committed to bridging the realms of art, science, and technology to foster sustainable ecology and diversify our ecosystems. Together, we can build a future where African modernity thrives in a tech-driven world. Join us in this exciting journey towards a brighter, more innovative future! 🌐🚀 #AfricanModernity #TechInnovation #SustainableEcology https://lnkd.in/dPnmRhR8

Mark your calendars for the upcoming DAWO2024 conference, a pivotal event for researchers interested in the future of DAOs, organized by Institute for Organizational Viability at ZHAW School of Management and Law. I believe this event is crucial as it brings together researchers who are expanding our understanding of DAOs beyond just technology, exploring their potential in reshaping our social, political, economic and legal landscapes. It's a unique opportunity to engage with and learn from those at the forefront of this dynamic phenomenon. Don´t miss the call for papers! #EuropeanDAOWorkshop #CallForPaper #Blockchain #DAO #NewOrganizations #ZHAW #IOV

Today at Science Meets Regions final event Pirita Lindholm, alongside #MissionAdaptation Manager Elina Bardram, EU2023ES, and three ERRIN regions, participates in a panel on Partnerships for Regional Innovation #Partnerships4Innovation. Having some 50 #ERRINmembers engaged, it is clear that PRI should continue to strengthen the links between cohesion policy and R&I policy, drawing attention to the importance of a place-based perspective and the ecosystem approach. This is a good moment to take stock of the initiative, as both planning processes towards #cohesionpolicy post-2027 and the #FP10 due to start in 2028 have already begun. #Eusci4Regio EU Science, Research and Innovation
