Der deutsche Lyriker Gottfried Benn galt als Einzelgänger, seine Tendenz zur Selbstabsonderung kompensierte er unter anderem durch lang andauernde Briefwechsel.  

El jueves 4 de septiembre, el Programa de Derecho, Ciencia y Tecnología UC, en conjunto con la Embajada de los Estados Unidos en Chile, realizaron en el edificio de LLM UC el seminario “La importancia de la propiedad intelectual en las relaciones internacionales”. 

We at OKFN are questioning our own practices and learning how to do things anew. This new publication compiles some of these processes and invites you to put your community first.

When we go for walks in the forest, we try to leave our digitized everyday lives behind us but work in forestry has long since been digitized. Data is collected by sensor networks, drones, satellites, and, above all, large forestry machines such as harvesters. This data is of great interest for increasing the efficiency of the timber industry and optimizing planning, for example in sawmills, but above all for protecting the forest and adapting it to the intensifying climate change. However, there are numerous obstacles to sharing this data.

“I never change the terminology. I refuse to censor myself or the educational content I share online. If we replace words like ‘clitoris’ or ‘vagina,’ we’re simply recreating the same taboos we’re trying to break from.”

Sandrine Atallah, a Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) physician in Lebanon, does not compromise her language when sharing her content on social media.

L’article Arabie saoudite : le smartphone, objet d’émancipation mais aussi de surveillance des femmes est apparu en premier sur Centre Internet et Société.

Das Team von Chemieprofessor Holger Braunschweig erforscht an der Universität Würzburg die „metall-mimetischen“ Eigenschaften von Hauptgruppenelementen wie Bor. Dabei hat sich gezeigt, dass Bor unter bestimmten Bedingungen das Reaktionsverhalten von Metallen nachahmen kann, ohne aber toxisch oder so kostspielig zu sein wie die Metalle.

Les partenaires du G3+ de la Francophonie de l’Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar, l’Université Libre de Bruxelles, l’Université de Genève et l’Université de Montréal, ainsi que leurs partenaires le Pôle Eau Dakar, l’UICN et le Geneva Water Hub, sont heureux d’annoncer la tenue d’un colloque international consacré au rôle de l’eau comme vecteur de paix au Sahel.

In the past few years societies everywhere have seen seismic shifts in how information online is created and shared. Many studies suggest that fragmented and polarized corners of the internet are dramatically affecting people’s trust in what they see and believe online. Young people are finding communities in digital spaces and forums that did not exist even a few years ago. Misinformation is flooding our feeds, and the very idea of neutral, reliable facts is being challenged.

Across Africa and other regions, regulators are under growing pressure to adapt to rapid technological change. One of the most visible tools on the table is the regulatory sandbox, a controlled environment where innovation can be tested under supervision. In principle, sandboxes promise both flexibility and oversight. In practice, they present regulators with difficult questions that have no straightforward answers.

To learn more about the relevance of sandboxes, here is our 5-minute introduction.

Manifestamos nossa preocupação ao formato e ao conteúdo da proposta de Política Nacional de Data Centers (ReData) na forma em que foi apresentada. Reconhecemos a relevância de fortalecer a infraestrutura digital do país e de promover cadeias produtivas tecnológicas próprias. No entanto, o processo de formulação dessa medida provisória foi marcado pela falta de transparência. Houve exclusão da sociedade civil dos processos decisórios e foram realizadas reuniões prévias com grandes empresas antes de qualquer debate público ou diálogo com comunidades afetadas.
