General Objectives:

Create a participatory framework to tackle the topic of the use of sensing device in health and communities, including artistic intervention

A model could be something in between  the waterwheel project: http://water-wheel.net/ and former patching bay, also addressing personnal iot development through Dowse.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Topics to be tackled (a messy list):

Secured IOT Dowse
Citizen sensing and community implication
Self quantification and the feminist theory of health studies
ICT and art through creative mobile apps

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suspected partners


IMAL Brussels (natacha needs to have a chat with Yves Bernard)
Goldsmith (Dan?)*
Dowse need to ask Jaromil, that would give us the support of Wagg
UCA  Camille Baker  E-textile

Recent communication by Fabrizio Cestini on Nettime:
    
A quick update about the *Collective Awareness Platforms for Sustainability and 
Social Innovation* (CAPS) initiative and related activities:
The *second CAPS call* received nearly 200 proposals, in areas as diverse and 
emerging as open democracy, open policy making, collaborative economy, 
collaborative making, collaborative consumption, environmental awareness and 
action. All of them are multidisciplinary and rely on network technologies, but 
each of them proves that different technological requirements may be driven by 
the need for sharing and social collaboration rather than industrial 
competitiveness alone. We were finally able to start negotiations of 24 
projects, most of which will start on 1^st January 2016. You can find an updated 
presentation of the current projects and of the next calls on the collective 
awareness website _ http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/collectiveawareness_ . 
Soon we will publish there also full details about the projects under negotiation.*Next calls* in a nutshell: ICT11 CAPS in 2017, ICT12b "*Distributed 
Architectures for Decentralised Data Governance*" in 2016 (deadline 12 April 
2016). Don't miss them! Workprogramme just published at http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/funding/reference_docs.html#h2020-work-programmes-2016-17 .
The European Commission has just published a few *public consultations* which 
are most relevant to the social topics addressed by CAPS. Your view will be key 
for us to better understand these needs (please also let us know directly if you 
contribute).

  * The consultation on *Regulation of Internet platforms in view of the Digital
    Single Market strategy* _ https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/Platforms/_
    explores which future internet you would like to see. Although there are 150
    questions, you are no obliged to answer all of them: just pick the ones that
    are of most concern and tell us what are your views on open vs proprietary
    standards, open data vs big data, platform access, internet web services,
    internet governance, or net neutrality. The European Commission is asking
    you whether it needs to be involved in law-making  to govern the internet,
    considering the role that private companies (such as Google, Facebook, Uber,
    etc.) are having on issues such as privacy, transparency, copyright,
    cybersecurity, or other concerns. Deadline to contribute: 16 December 2015 

  * The consultation on *Standards for the Digital Single Market*
    _ https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/news/have-your-say-standards-help-achieve-digital-single-market_
    is gathering views on priorities for standards in key technology areas which
    are critical to achieving the DSM. This might as well include emerging areas
    such as those covered by the forthcoming call on "distributed architectures
    for decentralised data management", in order to facilitate the take-up of
    Open Data strategies, e.g. for the Sharing Economy.
