Title	BitBarista: Autonomous Bitcoin Coffee Machine
Description	BitBarista is a technical probe designed and built to explore perceptions of value transactions with a new Internet of Things device. It's comprised of a hacked Delonghi coffee machine, enhanced with a Raspberry Pi which reads signals from the coffee machines sensors, controls its functions, and connects it to the Internet. BitBarista is also equipped with its own Bitcoin account. It serves coffee in exchange for a Bitcoin contribution towards its next coffee supply. The coffee beans used by the machine will have been selected collectively by previous customers. The interaction begins with the machine displaying data on the state of coffee-producing countries looking for information on climate, work conditions, political situation, infrastructure, price stability and demand, which the machine purportedly browses online. From this data the machine selects top-ranked options for coffee beans in 4 categories: best quality, lowest price, lowest environmental impact and highest social responsibility. It then offers users the opportunity to choose one of these options for its next supply, and customers pay for their coffee accordingly. After the purchase, a new screen situates the choice within the pool of choices previously made, all anonymised, displaying the supply most likely to be ordered next. The machine also presents some autonomous features: it can order coffee and reward customers for helping with its maintenance, e.g. by refilling coffee beans, filling its water tank, and cleaning out used coffee grounds. When Bitbarista detects that a maintenance task needs performing, it will request help from customers and offer either free coffee or a payment in Bitcoin in return. Bitbarista is fitted with a small camera, enabling it to read smart codes for Bitcoin transactions, so that it can make payments to customers' Bitcoin wallets.
Type Of Art	Artefact (including digital)
Year Produced	2016
Impact	BitBarista has formed an integral part of a study on initial perceptions of data transactions with a new Internet of Things device. It has been used in a multitude of talks and presentations, to explain and demonstrate the potential of Bitcoin, and IoT devices. It is now part of a further study in which it will be situated in series of office spaces, to gather perceptions of longer term use.

Title	Karma Kettles
Description	Karma Kettles is a game which looks at how we might store and trade energy in the future.
Type Of Art	Artefact (including digital)
Year Produced	2019
Impact	The Karma Kettles show the state of the grid in terms of produced and stored energy and the teams receive karma points according to their decisions of storing, using or giving energy back to the grid. However, all is not straightforward! Giving energy back when the grid has peaked can result in a negative karma.

Description	Since the award finished, the projects influence upon design led approaches to Blockchain remains vivid and inspiring for many partners and the community. We are regularly invited to report on the developments since BitBarista and GeoPact were developed. The BitCoin Coffee machine proved popular in public contexts and it is a powerful demonstrator of how Bitcoin, Bitcoin wallets and how the Blockchain works. Public presentations of the machine are associated with the Block Exchange workshop that is linked to the PETRAS work and the ESRC project After Money. The Ethnobot continues to be used for public events to help people understand NLP technology.

Sector	Private
PI Contribution	The Smart Contracting in Public Spaces project is located within the Ambient Environments Constellation, and sets out to better understand the value constellations that occur between the stakeholders who inhabit and move through public urban environments. Working with the Royal Bank of Scotland's Open Experience (OX) team who deliver innovation and design thinking to banking products and services, and the RBS Innovation Engineering team who develop advanced technical platforms to support services, the research team will develop user-centred solutions to support secure, easy to use prototypes for value transactions public spaces.
Collaborator Contribution	We will use design methods to explore user adoption and accessibility of various forms of contract, informed by research in a range of technologies including centralised and distributed services. Throughout, we will work with the participants recruited from the public who regularly use parks and events such as festival, to design and prototype platforms of exchange that emerge from participatory workshops. By working closely with these groups, we examine whether distributed ledger technologies are relevant platforms to offer trust and security between complex networks of consumers and vendors, and anticipate the implication of the EU Payment Services Directive 2. The research will provide new insights for policy makers that complement the UK Treasury's preliminary consultation on Digital Currencies.

Geographic Reach	Local
Primary Audience	Industry/Business
Results and Impact	This workshop will introduce new developments such as blockchain and smart contracting technologies to participants in a tangible and experiential way. The aim is to foster and support creative explorations of potential future visions of value exchange in an increasingly 'smart city'. After an initial introduction, the workshop will comprise of a hands-on exploration of GeoCoin and a creative smart contracting activity. GeoCoin is a web app developed by the Design Informatics Team to explore digital currencies and value in the city. Based on the smart contracting platform Ethereum and in association with your phone's GPS data, it will challenge your understanding of data sharing, value exchange, and economic transactions in the city in an experiential way. We will then further dive into the understanding and use of smart contracts through an 'If This Then What' design exercise to envision and imagine new narratives and potential applications. Overall, this workshop aims to foster discussion and understanding of potential issues, concerns and opportunities arising from these new technological developments for society, business and people alike. No prior knowledge of the technologies is required to join the workshop, nor is it necesary to own a smartphone. However, bringing a smartphone along will allow you to get the most out of the experience. Both workshops are part of the After Money Symposium which heralds the end of Design Informatics' research project After Money in collaboration with the Royal Bank of Scotland and the New Economics Foundation, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.

Results and Impact	This two-day symposium, organised by the Centre for Design Informatics, aims to better understand the implications that FinTech, Cryptocurrency and Smart Contract developments are having on how industry, publics and governments understand money. The fast pace and shifting developments of cryptocurrencies and their underlying technologies have raised significant questions not only about new forms of currency but the economic, social and political constructs that surround them. Challenging current norms of value representation in society and culture, this symposium aims to investigate different perspectives of how financial technologies may influence our lives. The symposium comprised three sessions, each with a unique focus on FinTech Near Futures, Policy, Value and New Economics as well as Cultures of Commodification. The day is intended to bring together a variety of people from academia, industry and culture to understand the broader, cross-cutting implications of these new forms of banking, programmable money and representations of value and its wide-ranging repercussions. Speakers include Sarah Meiklejohn (UCL), Gavin Littlejohn (FDATA), Dug Campbell (Fankletastic Limited), Philip Godsiff (University of Surrey), Alexandre Polvora (European Commission), Doreen Grove (Scottish Government), Pip Thornton (Royal Holloway, University of London), Max Dovey (Artist & Researcher) and Dominic Smith (Independent). The audience was drawn from the Fintech community, policymakers, artists and academics. Those who spoke had already had involvement with Design Informatics, which demonstrated the continual collaboration and impact of past work by Design Informatics.

Results and Impact	Work by Design Informatics is showcased at the Edinburgh Digital Entertainment Festival, 4-28 August 2016. The Design Informatics exhibition, Living with Data, is displayed in a Pavilion produced by Biomorphis architects. It features a range of products and experiences which look to the future: In this demo we introduce Bitbarista, a coffee machine that exemplifies a new approach to data access and usage for the design of IoT devices. Bitbarista is connected to the Internet and attempts to communicate complex data processes, gathering consistent information on the state of coffee producing countries. It reveals the social, environmental, qualitative and economic aspects of coffee supply chains affecting end-prices, of which consumers are often unaware. Bitbarista allows people to choose a source of future coffee beans for the machine, and situates their choices within the pool of decisions previously made. In doing so, it places customers within the complexity of factors involved in coffee production, distribution and purchase. The aim is to expose this complexity in order to re-engage users in the market forces that influence and are driven by their choices, providing a positive experience of data display, usage and sharing.

The way so many of us think about value must change. 20th century business models as prescribed by producers - and pushed to consumers - are past and outdated. The 21st digital economy - led by the UK data and marketing industry championed by the DMA - rests on complex networks of people, artefacts and bots to support the feedback of data, powered by the co-creation of value. These dynamic relationships can be described as value constellations. Join us for a DMA data ethics lecture at DataFest 2019 that explores how value is co-created in value constellations, and reveals the implications, risks and opportunities for new business models in the digital economy. You will learn: • About the mission to restore and build trust in the brand / consumer conversation • The benefits to your brand and your customer of establishing a true, universal understanding of the worth of information • More about the DMA's mission to elevate and champion the role of data - from the classroom to the boardroom - to help your organisations responsibly deliver value to their customers The session is led by Professor Chris Speed - Chair of Design Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. There his research focuses on the network society, digital art and technology and the Internet of Things. This lecture is part of a series, and a new DMA campaign - Value of Data. This campaign - conceived by DMA Scotland and led out of Scotland as a hub of data expertise, FinTech and exciting, innovative start-ups - will drive the data agenda across the UK's data and marketing industry. You can learn about the DMA's Value of Data campaign, here.

Results and Impact	Talbot Rice Gallery was a special one-day exhibition showcasing the results of an innovative hands-on workshop. Guided by artist Rob Kennedy and curator James Clegg, delegates were welcomed to drop-in and contribute verbally and physically to a playful discussion about how modes of exhibition and display shape and manifest cultural, social, political and physical engagements within life. Playtime tests the fundamental process of exhibition making by looking at how the manipulation of simple objects and basic materials can allow complex ideas to be shared in imaginative and accessible ways. Starting with an empty space and pile of cardboard boxes, the workshop will have seen a diverse group of academics and students challenged to play out and debate a number of games, applying the logic of a particular world-view to the subsequent spatial creations you will find presented in the Gallery. Led by specialist 'game leaders' the project will provide insights into ongoing research from across the University and further afield. From animal behaviour to invisibility, from translation to tool-making, from cyborgs to lateral thinking, Playtime will overcome disciplinary boundaries and foster curiosity, fantasy and imagination. The content of the exhibition will only become known through its making, this process will reflect and encourage new forms of creative learning and interaction.

Results and Impact	Title: BitBarista Artist: Rory Gianni, Ella Tallyn, Mark Kobine, Larissa Pschetz (Design Informatics) BitBarista is an example of an Internet of Things device, one of a growing number of devices connected to the internet that can collect, exchange and use data. BitBarista uses Bitcoin currency enabling customers to engage with this new form of transaction that can move beyond currency into new types of value exchange. BitBarista is a Delonghi home coffee machine that has been enhanced by the addition of a Raspberry Pi computer which interfaces with the coffee machine enabling the computer to control its functions. BitBarista has its own Bitcoin account, so it can accept and make Bitcoin payments. This means that customers can pay for coffee in Bitcoin, and BitBarista can also make Bitcoin payments to customers in return for maintenance tasks such as refilling the water or cleaning away coffee grinds. The idea is that BitBarista becomes semi-autonomous, trading with customers to take care of its own maintenance requirements. The Edinburgh Digital Entertainment Festival (4-27 August 2016) is to launch this year as a new face on the Fringe circuit, the festival "presented by Riverside Studios, brings together the worlds of arts, entertainment and technology - to showcase the best of what is happening right now and provoke the conversation about what comes next." The festival will take place on George Square and the Assembly Rooms this August and we are delighted that Design Informatics and the University of Edinburgh, ECA will be taking part. We will be showing work by Design Informatics researchers and Masters students in a specially commissioned structure by Biomorphis architects. A range of products and experiences will be shown that invite you to live a little further into the future, looking at the theme of Living with Data. Come and get married for 15 minutes with our smart contracting app, have a cuppa from the bitcoin coffee machine and try out intelligent furniture. The Design Informatics Pavilion has been designed by Pierre Forissier from Edinburgh based, Biomorphis architects and Mark Kobine. Interested in how digital technology could be used to design a modular structure, Pierre wrote an algorithm to generate different cellular divisions to form the surface of the structure. Using a CNC router (Computer Numerical Control) pairs of sheets are assembled to form modular cassettes; the double layered skin constantly changes the view of the interior or exterior as you move. Prefabricated off site, and assembled quickly on site, the final pavilion demonstrates how computer algorithms are helping designers develop parametric architecture which is strong, light weight but evocative to the eye.

Results and Impact	Talk: Design from/with/by Data The complex constellations of personal and shared devices that are connected to everyday practices that involve the transmission of data constitute openings to new markets in which different kinds of value are exchanged. In many cases we are becoming attuned to understanding how value is constructed as we use software: social media users are becoming aware of the many pros and cons of exchanging social values in Facebook, while Trip Advisor users understand the implications of their liking, disliking and commenting upon the economic values of hotels. However, as websites and apps become replaced by objects that we use in everyday life, such as making tea, taking a shower or getting on the bus, it is less clear how the flow of data that is derived from our interactions, constructs value and is 'traded' between services. This disjuncture in the flow of value - with and without humans in the loop - presents both opportunities and threats to people and institutions. This paper will explore the implications of emerging ecosystems and an agenda for designing human data interactions, that goes beyond the organization and understanding of data, toward the development of platforms that balance the values of all stakeholders within complex digital economic systems to offer a level of commensurability with a service.

Results and Impact	Here is the blurb for the workshop. Designers and data specialists are at the forefront of exploring new ways of exchanging value, using Blockchain, cryptocurrencies, smart contracting and the direct exchanges between things made possible by the Internet of Things. These novel technologies mean that concepts of value and value exchange are being challenged in a variety of ways, and, far from being neutral, these innovations are entangled with and are co-producing novel political, economic and social arrangements, raising questions of ethics, privacy and the sociopolitical implications of new forms of distributed authority. This workshop will explore the implications of the vastly evolving distributed ledgers and autonomous systems which introduce the principle that products and services may soon be owned and managed collectively and not by one person or authority, thus challenging traditional concepts of user communities, ownership and power. This half-day design workshop allows participants to further understand, develop and critique these new forms of distributed power and ownership through a creative exploration of nodes and networks. No prior knowledge is required and we welcome academics, creatives, industry experts and non-specialists alike. Attendees came from a variety of backgrounds, professionals in the area and non professionals and reported a growing interest in this area.

Results and Impact	Smart Transactions in Public Spaces (STiPS) is part of the PETRAS Iot Hub, see https://www.petrashub.org. Within STiPS the aim is to explore the particular challenges of developing systems for secure, low-friction, transactions in public spaces. In this workshop we are interested in exploring not only in the exchange of monetary currency, but also in the concept of trading data and personal information, where the line between data and currency blurs, and data becomes currency. As well as the explicit exchanges taking place between people, we are also interested in the trading and transfer of data taking place between devices and systems, of which people are generally unaware, but which forms part of this complex web of data transactions. In the STiPS project so far we have begun to map out the practices and transactions currently taking place in a series of ethnographic studies, and have explored reactions to the BitBarista a hacked coffee machine that sells coffee for Bitcoin. We are looking to move into adopting technology developed at the RBS that may support new data transaction systems.

Results and Impact	GeoPact is a demonstration of new location verification and smart contract technologies that enables participants to physically play through the use of these technologies and gain a better understanding of their workings and potential. Participants used a prototype version of the GeoPact system to fulfil a location-based smart contract through a "body-storming" process in which they physically enacted a prescribed scenario. In this scenario participants collected various items using a smart-box, from a number of smart-stations located in an indoor space. Participants completed the GeoPact demonstration and then took part in a small focus group session to in which they were invited to discuss their experiences of the demonstration, and reflect on how they imagine these technologies might play a role in future everyday activities. The aim of this pilot event was to assess both the GeoPact prototype, and the overall experience and focus group session in order to improve these for future events.

Data produced by IoT smart objects have the potential to unlock a mass of new digital services. However, it can be difficult to ensure the validity and security of these data. GeoPact is a fusion of IoT and Blockchain that provides security and trust around location data produced by smart objects. This demonstration showcases GeoPact as part of a system of integrated software and hardware components that enables participation in a fully functioning, location-based smart contract. For this demonstration we have created an example contract that uses portable IoT lock boxes that communicate via bluetooth and whose operations are governed by the smart contracts which participants can execute as they move around. The experience enables participants to enact and explore the specific operations and dynamics of a working smart contract and consider potential implications and applications.

Results and Impact	Nissen, Speed, Oosthuizen: Geocoin workshop, Tesco Bank, 3/11/17. GeoCoin is an explorative platform for geofenced digital currencies. This platform aims to make bitcoin and blockchain technologies accessible in a playful and experiential manner to a wider audience. We have used this platform as bodystorming tool in workshops to explore new models and aspects of geofencing digital currencies. The platform was developed on the distributed smart contracting platform Ethereum with actual underlying blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency Ether which allows this software to be further adapted for real life use cases and scenarios. There are currently 4 different types of GeoCoin which allow users to collect coins which may add or subtract from their current balance. Simulating potential tax, toll and earning scenarios, this speculative software allows users to experience and explore the potential of digital currencies in a 'Smart City' environment. The workshop was held as part of the Tesco Mercury consultancy programme to open up an understanding of smart contracting outside of the realm of finance.

This will be a drop-in event over 2 days which is free and open to the public. Throughout the 2 days will be 10-minute talks from researchers across the projects including one by our own Professor Chris Speed who will talk about "The Art of Things" at 13:00 on Saturday the 9th of February (no booking required). Design Informatics will be showing two pieces as part of the event- GeoPact and Karma Kettles. Karma Kettles The Karma Kettle considers the expansion of distributed systems as a way to support more flexible energy infrastructures. In contrast to centralised national grids, distributed systems require lower initial investment, which allows for smaller enterprises to produce and sell energy in a free market economy. The Karma Kettle simulates a context of distributed energy generation where domestic batteries contribute to store part of the energy available in the grid, ultimately helping to balance on and off-peak times and prices. The kettle displays states of scarcity and abundance of energy in the grid and in the storage grid and rewards users for pulling or pushing energy into the grid according to the state of the grid contributing to their energy "karma". For example, if energy is highly available in the grid and in storage, users are encouraged to use it, this way, using energy would contribute to a positive karma. If energy is scarce in the grid and in storage, users are encouraged to push stored energy into the network. In this case, using would contribute to a negative karma. The project attempts to investigate the potential for IoT devices to support end consumer energy trade and bottom-up energy generation. At TATE the Karma Kettles will be presented as a game where two participants compete or collaborate with each other in order to balance the grid according to (or despite of) challenges encountered in the period of 24-hours.

Come and participate in a discussion led by a panel of industry experts. Tim Jones CBE, Founder of Tibado and former CEO Nat West Retail, Also, former CEO of the National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) Bill McCall (panel chair), Senior Vice-President, Chartered Banker Institute Professor Chris Speed (panellist), Chair in Design Informatics, Edinburgh College of Art Stephen Ingledew (panellist), CEO, FinTech Scotland Will cryptocurrencies reshape the financial system, remain a niche product for a select group of enthusiasts or become a regulated part of the mainstream? And what of blockchain, the secure distributed ledger technology behind Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies? Critics argue that there are several impediments built in - around regulation, scalability, volatility and governance, to say nothing of the huge energy use - which will prevent cryptocurrencies becoming the peer-to-peer electronic cash systems envisioned by Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto and others. The lack of intermediaries, while cherished by Bitcoin proponents, is unlikely to go down well with a mass market which dislikes having no rights, no recourse, no guarantees and no legal coverage. As Mark Carney's recent remarks demonstrated, it doesn't go down well with regulators either. Meanwhile, blockchain also has its critics. The complexity of the underlying technology, concerns over settlement times and customer protection, as well as regulatory challenges has brought its effectiveness into question. And is blockchain as secure as we believe? The advent of quantum computing brings this into focus. Come and hear the latest thoughts on cryptocurrencies and blockchain from a group of industry and academic experts. Coffee/registration from 18:00. The event will be followed at 20:00 by a networking drinks reception.

Results and Impact	Description The rise of the digital currency Bitcoin, along with its supporting technology Blockchain, offers a radical new model of peer-to-peer trading, which raises questions about our existing economic models, and threatens to undermine long accepted financial power structures. The world has changed. The push economy that has long dominated the way we consume products and services has been disrupted by a new pull economy, characterised by platforms such as Uber and Airbnb, where consumers take part in providing and shaping the services provided. This has precipitated an explosion of new products and thinking around decentralised trading of goods and services.

The session will be delivered by Professor Chris Speed, Chair of Design Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, and his team. Designing things with spending power (13:30-14:30) Design Informatics Seminar by Professor Chris Speed What happens when we give physical things wallets containing digital currencies? How can this alter power relationships and shift social dynamics? Chris Speed will explore these questions by highlighting the use of smart contracts in design, from a coffee machine that lets you vote for your coffee bean and pays those who clean it, to a hairdryer that trades on the energy market to offer the best price for drying your hair. As objects are connected to the Internet, forming the 'Internet of Things', Chris asks what happens when technologies are given their own spending power, and what this implies for the human. About Chris Speed Chris Speed is Chair of Design Informatics at the University of Edinburgh where his research focuses upon the Network Society, Interaction Design, and The Internet of Things. At present Chris is working on funded projects that include coffee cups as cryptocurrencies, internet of toilet roll holders, and an argument that chickens are actually robots. Chris co-directs the Centre for Design Informatics Research that is home to a combination of researchers working across the fields of interaction design, temporal design, anthropology, software engineering and smart contracts, as well as PhD, MA/MFA and MSc and Advanced MSc programmes.

Results and Impact	Speed presented a paper at the following workshop, part of the Participatory Design Conference https://pdc2018.org/ Call for Participation Many early adopters of sustainable smart city technology employed a technocratic approach. The dominant visions of these future cities, such as in the "eco smart city" [19], address environmental sustainability through the optimisation and rationalisation of urban processes, making them more efficient and therefore more sustainable. However, critics claim that such approaches are too simplistic, are unable to deal with the complexities of real, messy cities [19] and perform sustainability in specific ways that leave little room for participation and citizen agency [7,11,19]. Furthermore, the technocratic approach limited the actual social benefit people could expect from their urban habitat, and this has led to a participatory turn in smart cities [e.g. [1,12]. For example, many local governments have started using human-centred and participatory design for the integration of technology in urban environments to address issues of sustainability. However, the turn to participation within smart cities fails to address a human-exceptionalist notion of cities, in which urban space is designed for, and inhabited by, humans only. Within the age of the Anthropocene - a term used to refer to a new geological era in which human activity is transforming earth systems [16], accelerating climate change and causing mass extinctions [18] - a human-centred perspective is increasingly seen as untenable. In fields such as STS [10,13], environmental humanities [15,17], geography [2,21], planning [16], design [5,8,25] and HCI [24], scholars are expanding and challenging traditional binaries of Western thought such as City/Nature, Human/Non-human, to consider the entanglements between human and nonhuman worlds including in urban contexts, and the ways in which we can conduct participatory research in morethan- human worlds, in order to overcome problematic narratives of human privilege and exceptionalism. The aim of this interdisciplinary workshop is to move the field of participatory design for sustainable smart cities forward by bringing together designers, practitioners, and researchers to explore what it means to co-design genuinely sustainable cities that take into account the ways in which cities and nature, and humans and non-humans are interrelated and interdependent, for the co-creation of environmentally and socially just postanthropocentric cities. We aim to develop new conceptions that move away from traditional binaries and open up new possibilities for thinking about participatory design for urban environments in hybrid digital-physical space. We also aim to explore practical ideas about how more-than-human perspectives can shape actual participatory design practices and policies related to cities. For example, we might explore design responses to new legal rights of non-humans such as trees and rivers [20] and how their participation is negotiated in urban processes in hybrid digitalphysical space [4]. Workshop Topics of Interests The topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to the following: Participatory design and use of smart cities, urban informatics and IoT technologies that explore human/morethan- human relations; Methodological approaches, including opportunities and challenges for designing in more-than-human worlds; Speculative designs, design fictions, and art projects; Ethical and legal considerations, e.g. design responses to a new legal status of nature; • Designs that decentre the human or privilege other species; Cultural aspects of sustainable smart cities in this space; Theoretical perspectives from the literature e.g. Anthropocene, Capitalocene [18], Chthulucene [13], and; "World-making", what could a more-than-human city be? Audience We welcome researchers and practitioners working on design cases, prototype development and artistic installations, as well as those working on theoretical, critical, legal, or ethical perspectives, including those from STS, environmental humanities, and other disciplines. We welcome methodological contributions, such as object-oriented ontology [3], non-human ethnographies [22], speculative design, and actor-network and assemblage theories related to decentring the human in design.

Results and Impact	As the age of automation looms, we are now more so than ever at risk of losing elements of our day to day responsibilities or our jobs entirely. In the recent proliferation of 'bullshit jobs' that occupy more and more nuanced versions of traditional work, is this impending future in fact something we should look forward to rather than dread? Are we really 'hardwired to work' as capitalism has lead us to believe? Or, if freed from the clock-in clock-out system are we instead offered a more tranquil, more social and more engaged human experience? Pecha Kucha is a simple idea - 20 images for 20 seconds each making talks that last just 6:40mins. In this format, we will hear from different thinkers, artists, organisations and political groups to address the question of the future of work and present ideas on how our developing work-culture might affect our way of life, our economy, our cities and professions. 80 approx people attended with PETRAS content warmly received

Results and Impact	https://www.ed.ac.uk/contemporary-latin-american-studies/events/summer-school Talk as part of this summer school: The Coimbra Group & Asociacion De Universidades Grupo Montevideo (AUGM) present 'Smart and Inclusive Cities' Summer School The aim of this summer school is to review, discuss and propose means to achieve more inclusive, equal, sustainable and safe cities. 'Smart cities' have been the focus of a range of research approaches in the recent past and, although the importance of developing more efficient and connected cities has been widely recognised, in the implementation of smart cities strategies, often the individual and subsequently a varied patchwork of specific communities - all central to these endeavours - are overlooked. Different models of smart cities strategies can be identified across the globe, from Barcelona to Stockholm, from Sao Paolo to Medellin, from Kigali to Delhi. In order to offer more depth and social awareness to ongoing political trends and research on smart cities, this summer school, and associated workshops, will be led by generating an understanding of the complex networks that interlink: territory-technology-community-individual. The student-led summer school will interrogate: What does smart and smartness mean in relation to complex urban, rural and territorial realities which overlap with even more complex sociocultural, political and economic dynamic relations? How can smart city strategies be implemented, when they depend on a vast technical infrastructure, which often excludes wide layers of society, when looking at the Global South? How does the Global Urban Age relate to specific communities and the individuals they accommodate? It will look at the way information and communication technologies can be used to inform the smart city and also to include 'disadvantaged' groups of society, who are left out due to their lacking connectivity to the digital grid. The summer school will be structured around the following thematic workshops: Technology, Politics and Space Experimental Experiences for Smart Cities Digital Individuality and Corporate Ownership - Hacking the System Materiality of the Smart City Smart, Sustainable and Resilient Cities Social Computing, Sensing and IoT for Smart Cities Smart Cities and Energy Systems There will also be three parallel, roundtable discussions: International migration and the city National and international migration in the context of economic and social development The role of international agencies in developing policy for national and international migration

Results and Impact	Invited talk during EUROCITIES 2018 tour of research centres Creative competitive cities - building our future together EUROCITIES 2018 Edinburgh on 28-30 November will take place at a critical time for Europe, against the backdrop of the UK's decision to leave the European Union, and a year ahead of the European elections. In a turbulent world of unprecedented change and uncertainty cities are even more vital for Europe's future, being the drivers of inclusive and sustainable growth, jobs and innovation. At this decisive moment in Europe's history, EUROCITIES 2018 Edinburgh will bring together participants from across Europe, from different levels of governance and amongst citizens, to discuss our future focusing on two interconnected strands: Citizenship and democracy While national governments continue to debate and make decisions on future national and institutional ties, cities will continue to reach out and build key bilateral and multilateral connections on a European and global scale. Ahead of the European Parliament elections in 2019, EUROCITIES 2018 Edinburgh will be an opportunity for cities from across Europe to reinforce our position that EU institutions and member states must work with us, to empower citizens to engage with and understand the importance of the European project for all. Within the EUROCITIES 'Cities4Europe - Europe for citizens' campaign, we will be collecting, analysing and drawing up recommendations for active democratic citizens' participation in all levels of government, and which we will also take forward to the European Commission and the European Parliament in our mayors' summit 2019. Edinburgh 2018 will provide us with the occasion to discuss and validate this evidence of cities' engagement with citizens. Culture - a smart investment for our future Cities need creativity, collaboration and international connections to unlock solutions to urban challenges and to enrich the quality of life of their citizens and secure their future inclusion and prosperity. Creativity and social innovation can help stimulate new solutions to address the challenges cities face, such as unemployment, climate change, political alienation. During EUROCITIES 2018 Edinburgh we will explore how culture can build stronger ties between communities, bringing people together to learn from each other, broaden horizons and build relationships, opening up new ways of communication and understanding.

Primary Audience	Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact	The Strategic Insights Unit of the Scottish Government is pursuing a programme of work centred around the impact of technology in Scotland. The programme focuses on how Scotland can better exploit the opportunities and mitigate the risks associated with technological change in the mid-term future. The Unit has commissioned Frost and Sullivan to work with them in building a set of scenarios around potential technological trends, which will be used to help test a range of policy responses across Scottish Government. Scenarios are a tool for dealing with uncertainty and are used to develop policies and strategies that are robust, resilient, flexible and innovative. The aim of developing scenarios is to: ·Create a common understanding, language and vision to use when developing policies that are resilient to a range of possible technological change scenarios; and ·Gain insights into opportunities and threats in these different scenarios, with external expert advice and challenge. This report sets out the process that has been undertaken to date for identifying the main technological trends and drivers of change, and the results of the initial impact and uncertainty assessment. This is the first step in the process of developing fully fledged scenarios. The aim of this step was to assess whether the trend has an impact on Scotland and how uncertain the development of the trend is over the designated 2025-2035timeframe. The current draft report Is not complete. The tech trends summaries are very short summaries. See pages 13-31. This will be amended over time to include more detailed narrative points. See pages 33-38 as example. The 'scoring' of impact vz uncertainty is based on clear criteria ; but the judgments are broadly qualitative in nature. The critical uncertainties on slide 41 are those trends identified as high impact and highly uncertain. These critically uncertain trends we use as the basis of the scenarios. Where we are in the process We have gone through the process of mapping all the trends against impact /uncertainty; and have been through one review process. We are currently drafting scenarios to be used in a workshop process with stakeholders on Monday 3rd December. After this we will finalise scenarios; and we will also finalise the Tech Trends report. Workshop Details are: Mon Dec 3rd 2-5pm Conference rooms 4 and 5, Victoria Quay, Edinburgh

Using our redesigned format that features sessions co-designed with our speakers and delegates to ensure we cover the hottest topics, we will challenge our delegates to get involved, to pose questions, share ideas and learn from colleagues facing similar challenges. Attendance will give you the chance to develop your digital transformation strategy and to consider new approaches to how you redesign public service delivery. Not only will you be able to meet with colleagues from across the public sector, you will also have the chance to meet some of the most innovative technology suppliers who will be on hand to answer your questions and to guide you through a whole technology. This is a great opportunity to hear some of the most exciting case studies, create a strategic action plan to support your objectives and get a clearer understanding of the most innovative solutions available to the market.

Results and Impact	I co-organised the Things2Things workshops with the Design United team in the Netherlands: Things2Things was a one-year-long project of the 3TU Industrial Design programs in the Netherlands that ran from January to October 2016. The project brought together a community of almost 50 professional designers and design researchers to explore the role of design thinking in creativity and innovation within the field of the Internet of Things. We have captured the key insights generated during the workshops in a booklet that we are launching at the Dutch Design Week, DRIVE Festival for Design and Innovation. Anticipating a culture of small scale, distributed manufacturing, the workshop envisions a scenario in which people receive not software suggestions, but material artifacts that anticipate their daily needs. Over a period of 3 months, three families will play host to three networked 3D printers that 'print' artifacts meant to aid families in their daily practices. During the 3 months, participants in the final workshop will use readings from families' calendars in order to design objects for the families, which will then be sent over the Internet to the 3D printers. During the workshop, participants will discuss, evaluate and create new design concepts in light of the diaries families are asked to maintain about their experiences with these unusual material artifacts.
