Descrizione:: Big tech platforms’ growth increased extraordinarily after the 2007/8 crisis on the base of a new wave of labour digitalisation. The covid-19 pandemic could be addressed as the second event that prompted the scalation of these processes, including the digitalisation of our social and working life. Big tech platforms deploy all their power, particularly in the economic sphere. Indeed, they grew up in many cases moving through the empty spaces of existing legislative codes, and often disintermediate labour collective contracts of bargaining institutions. This poses serious challenges to workers’ individual and collective rights. States and the European Union have serious difficulties in exercising effective mediation or control over these big transnational and digital corporations. The power of digital platforms is articulated across the economic, political and cultural domains; they clearly deploy hegemonic tendencies: economically, they are global actors, operating in a highly financialized environment and fostering the accumulation of wealth. Politically, they tend to impose their rules even on states and develop specific practices of government. Culturally, they do not simply influence public opinion, but they rather produce their own public spheres. Additionally, they constantly produce a narrative of themselves through different activities and advertisements, about the positive and appealing impact of digital technologies, the usability of e-commerce, the flexibility of platform labour, and the social benefits these corporations spread. The risk is to reduce the public debate to a flat and passive endorsement, while policymakers have difficulties orienting their regulatory activities. Given this landscape, the choice is between the acceptance of capitalism in which either corporations substitute for the role of states and politics, o create a new model of capitalism in which corporate power is re-embedded in physiological and legitimized political processes. This is the challenge we are willing to accept.

The science behind these phenomena is complex and advancement in knowledge proceeds with progress in data acquisition and forecasting useful for real-scenario interventions. The employment of nature-based solutions (NBS) to mitigate the impact of hydro-meteorological phenomena is not adequately demonstrated, still uncoordinated at the European level, therefore not reaching full potential. Actions to achieve highest NBS impact requires strategies to enhance societal acceptance, policy strengthening while demonstrating advantages for market development. The objective of OPERANDUM is to reduce hydro-meteorological risks in European territories through co-designed, co-developed, deployed, tested and demonstrated innovative green and blue/grey/hybrid NBS, and push business exploitation.

Collaborazione formale con:: OPLON

Descrizione:: OPLON is a project co-funded by the Ministry of Education as part of the Contract “Smart Cities and Communities and Social Innovation”. The Project intends to propose actions and methods to prevent fragility and decline and promote the health of the elderly, designing and developing tools and networks of early diagnosis and “care & cure”. The solutions will be aimed primarily at older people who are in the “risk zone”, which begin to have limitations in performing daily activities and risk of developing fragility (pre-frail), indicating appearance as a major risk factor for health. In particular, the project will develop monitoring systems and integrated models to prevent and manage the fragility and promote active aging and health in older pre-frail and frail. Specifically, we offer: services multidimensional early diagnosis, through the use of indicators physical-mental and evaluation of chronic diseases with the highest incidence services telecare and telemonitoring specific co-morbidities, to support elderly and socio-territorial health educational services and health promotion, such as value-added services, aimed at including patients pre-frail and frail. OPLON develop a technology platform “open” in access to information (eg. Open Data), “integrated” than the systems in place (eg. IEEE, HL7, IHE, …) and “distributed” in access mode and service delivery (eg. Cloud Services).

Collaborazione formale con:: Università degli Studi di URBINO "Carlo BO"
Paese:: Italia
Descrizione:: In the last few years we have seen the emergence of the Social Network Site (SNS) phenomenon: Internet information sources constituted by linked data and connected users producing an extraordinary amount of heterogeneous content. Given the unprecedented availability of linked data concerning the life of hundreds of million people, the general objective of IMPACT (Information Monitoring, Propagation Analysis and Community Detection in Social Network Sites) is to study methodologies and develop techniques and tools to monitor Social Network Sites and to identify relevant structural and communication patterns. IMPACT is a national research project approved by Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (“FIRB research projects” D.D. n. 490/Ric, August 3, 2010).
