As part of the dissemination actions proposed by the partners selected during FIWARE’s third call for new partners, the project was going to be actively introduced at various Campus Party events between 2013 and 2014. Periodic reports have been published after these events. More specifically – and also depending on the own Campus Party dates: • The first report was delivered in October 2013, about the Campus Party Europe in London (held during September 2013). • The second report was delivered at the end of February 2014, including the project’s activities during the Campus Party Brazil in Sao Paulo (held between January and February 2014) • This final one, partially due to the postponement of Campus Party Europe to 2015 (after the project’s lifespan) and partially to the own interest of the FIWARE project in deploying and properly promoting the Mexican node of the FIWARE Lab, includes all the activities that took place in the Campus Party Mexico (CPMX5) in Zapopan, state of Jalisco, by the end of June 2014.

  • OBSERVER: Copernicus Relays Bringing Space Closer to People – the Case of Argentina
    OBSERVER: Copernicus Relays bringing space closer to people – the case of Argentina 1 / 7 Enthusiasm, entrepreneurship & space are in Space Latam’s focus. Credit: Space Latam It is indisputable that international cooperation is an essential condition for reaching global wellbeing objectives such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). International cooperation is also of the utmost importance to the Copernicus programme. With the network of Copernicus free and open data users spanning the globe, the programme is an important contributor to SDGs and economies worldwide. Space Latam, an Argentinian representative of the Copernicus Relays, is an excellent example of how the global community benefits from Copernicus and its networks. As part of the Space Strategy for Europe, the European Commission established a network of Copernicus ambassadors: the Copernicus Relays. These act as local champions, coordinating and promoting activities related to the Copernicus programme, bringing benefits and opportunities for 2 / 7 people, businesses, start-ups, researchers and governments. Space Latam, the Copernicus Relay in Argentina, was one of the earliest organisations to enter the Copernicus Relay network. The organisation submitted their application to join the network in 2016, just months after the official launch of the Copernicus Relay and Copernicus Academy networks in Brussels. When applying, José Bosleman Medina, the Director of the Argentinian Copernicus Relay- to-be, modestly mentioned that Space Latam people are volunteers with almost no budget available to finance their activities, but reassured the reviewers that he had a fantastic, hard-working team with great potential, energy and network. Space Latam far exceeded expectations and now has a large team of young experts who provide support to Argentinian start-ups and SMEs in the space sector through mentoring, hackathons, workshops and other initiatives.

  • Annual Report Academic Year 2014-2015
    Annual Report Academic Year 2014-2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Last year’s 2013-2014 Berkman Center Annual Report outlined ideals to guide our work this academic year. Specifically, we sought to continue pioneering teaching and research with new, more sophisticated, and more integrative methodologies and partnerships. In the year that followed, the Center’s portfolio can be viewed in terms of three key areas of increased investment and attention that encompass these same goals. Since 1997, the Berkman Center has catalyzed dozens of projects and initiatives concerning the Internet in three areas of activity: 1) Law and Policy, 2) Education and Public Discourse, and 3) Access to Information. Updates and significant milestones related to each of these areas are described in the following sections of the Executive Summary. In additional to these three focal areas, the Berkman Center has continued to expand its collaboration across institutions and taken a leadership role in building a global research network through collaboration on projects and events. The Center also completed a rigorous revisioning and reimplementation of its organizational processes. Across and within the three areas of activity, platforms, privacy, and public discourse were at the core contexts of many of the Center’s activities in the past year, which were addressed and explored in its scholarship, technical innovations, collaborations, and communications. Platforms include the unowned Internet and World Wide Web itself along with organizations and companies that serve as conduits for online communications. Companies that offer network access (like ISPs) and online services (like cloud storage, email platforms, and social networks), and even government institutions that filter or moderate citizens’ access to content online, play a crucial role in intermediating online communications among individuals connected to the Internet.
