Aunque el concepto de innovación se asocia mucho a la producción y a la generación de tecnologías, las experiencias recogidas en el libro "Experiencias de innovación Pública", editado por el Laboratorio de Gobierno y la Facultad de Economía y Negocios (FEN) de la U. de Chile, muestran que existe espacio para innovar desde todos los planos, siempre atendiendo las necesidades de la sociedad y los usuarios.

El hallazgo, publicado en la última edición de la revista Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, permitiría aprovechar estas emisiones para producir metano y así ser utilizado como gas natural sintético. El potencial descontaminante que tendría el desarrollo de un dispositivo basado en esta información es enorme, afirman los investigadores. El calentamiento global y la contaminación atmosférica podrían tener literalmente un respiro.

Paper by Gianluca Sgueo: “…aims at describing the use, exploring the potential – but also at understanding the limits – of the use of ‘gamification’ strategies into urban management. Commonly defined as the introduction of game-design elements into non-game contexts, with the former aimed at making the latter more fun, gamification is recognised among the technological paradigms that are shaping the evolution of public administrations.
The paper is divided in three sections.

Paper by Lisa Schmidthuber, David Antons and Dennis Hilgers: “This paper investigates the role of public employees in absorbing external knowledge. Triggered by open government initiatives and open calls for participation, external actors are invited to integrate ideas, solutions, or experience into public organizations. Such exploitation of valuable external knowledge across organizational interfaces might, however, be hindered by negative attitudes of public employees towards external input.

Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies Research Paper by Liav Orgad and Rainer Baubock: “New digital technologies are rapidly changing the global economy and have connected billions of people in deterritoralised social network. Will they also create new opportunities for global citizenship and alternatives to state-based political communities?

Paper by Jean-Sylvestre Bergé, Stephane Grumbach and Vincenzo Zeno-Zencovich: “The flows of people, goods and capital, which have considerably increased in recent history, are leading to crises (e.g., migrants, tax evasion, food safety) which reveal the failure to control them. Much less visible, and not yet included in economic measurements, data flows have increased exponentially in the last two decades, with the digitisation of social and economic activities.

Following up from this post last year, I recently noticed that Richard and Nati from Loomio have now published a distillation of their course about decentralised organising in the form of a PDF booklet, described as follows:

Zoe Williams at The Guardian: “The radical geographer and equality evangelist Danny Dorling tried to explain to me once why an algorithm could be bad for social justice.

Saki Bailey: In 2009, political economist Elinor Ostrom won the Nobel Prize in economics for her work demonstrating that “the commons” are not simply unregulated spaces of ruin, but instead places where the law operates invisibly, according to community norms and values in ways that lead to their sustainable use over many generations.

Franz zeigte auf, welche beruflichen Möglichkeiten Networking für die Studierenden mit Behinderung bietet: „Die Kosmetikfirma L’Oréal zum Beispiel stellt für unsere Studierende mit Behinderung pro Jahr fünf Praktikumsplätze zur Verfügung. Studierende aller Fachrichtungen sind willkommen und können in drei bis sechs Monaten einen Einblick in verschiedene Abteilungen gewinnen.“

Elizabeth Sawin at Stanford Social Innovation Review: “In Japan, manufacturing facilities use “green curtains”—living panels of climbing plants—to clean the air, provide vegetables for company cafeterias, and reduce energy use for cooling.

Reflections by Stefaan Verhulst on “the potential (and challenges) of Distributed Ledgers for “Market for Lemons” Conditions: We live in a data age, and it has become common to extol the transformative power of data and information. It is now conventional to assume that many of our most pressing public problems—everything from climate change to terrorism to mass migration—are amenable to a “data fix.”

Centre for Information Policy Leadership: “Accountability now has broad international support and has been adopted in many laws, including in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), regulatory policies and organisational practices.

Earlier this month, the Department of Justice’s “Cyber-Digital Task Force” released a report “assess[ing] the Department’s work in the cyber area.” The report, which runs over 150 pages, covers a broad range of topics. Among these, in the “Looking Ahead” chapter, is “Going Dark”: DOJ’s name for a constellation of issues that render the government “unable to obtain critical information in an intelligible and usable form (or at all),” primarily encryption (and default encryption in particular).
