• Vision: a distributed architecture where each piece of user-generated information remains under the full control of the user who generated it

Collective Awareness Platforms for Sustainability and Social Innovation

http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/collectiveawareness

“Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.”Ryunosuke Satoro

To harness ICT networks, network effects and

collective intelligence for cooperation, supporting new

economic models beyond GDP

To create awareness of sustainability challenges - and

of bottom-up solutions grounded on real communities

of people

Based on open data, open source and open hardware

participatory innovation paradigms

Requires participation of at least two entities from

non-ICT domains

Appeals to new grassroots actors (including social

entrepreneurs, students, hackers, civil society

organisations)

History

ICT

• Crowd-sourcing, Smart-sourcing, co-creation

• Simple online reputation mechanisms (based on identity but preserving privacy, creating quality

guarantees for collective systems)

• Safeguarding privacy for online contributors to participatory systems (or clouds)

• Motivations and incentives for online collaboration and sustainable collective behaviours

• Inclusion (access as well as visualization )

• New collective models for value creation beyond monetisation

Academic participation in the 2nd CAPS call

SSH/RRI approach in CAPS

• Sustainability as a goal

– beyond GDP, Low Carbon economy, natural resources,

social equality, inclusion

– Grounded on real communities of people and real challenges

• Driving behavioural changes

– and sustainability-aware decisions

– At personal, collective and corporate levels

– Self-regulation based on collective awareness

• Bottom-up / inclusive

– grounded on open data, open source and open hardware

innovation paradigms

• Beyond commercially-driven platforms

– That can produce new business models

and (social) innovation

• Empowering citizens

– to achieve collective intelligence

What do we NOT want?

15

• Proposals without a clear existing (and physical) community of motivated users No "virtual" solution

• Proposals technology-driven, or aiming at purely commercial solutions Rather integrating existing technologies

• Consortia without at least two partners which are focused on non-ICT disciplines Be multidisciplinary!
