[DATAGOV Core] [READ ME] [kick-off] tentative program, prospective invitees, tasks

Wed Jan 14 16:27:10 CET 2026

Dear Giulia, all
Thanks for the feedback.

I don’t like very much swapping the lab demo on day 2 with the eco stuff. For two reasons: 1) it is sadly not a central element of DATAGOV (it was in the first application, but I dropped it because reviewers said it was too much); 2) starting the public event at 5pm on day 1 with the lab demo means the lab demo is out of context for most attendees.

But we can find a way to make it all work.

  1.
Expo still at Framer Framed, with a separate event after 3pm on day 2 (but some attendees can leave if they want); by the way we have no idea how easily Ecologias Hibridas travels...
  2.
Something else for day 2 evening before/with the borrel. Another artist (SETUP?)
  3.
Postponing the eco stuff (Tironi + Crosslucid) to the fall, as a separate DATAGOV event

For the researchers to put in dialogue with Martin and Crosslucid (assuming they can make it, which is hard to believe), Fieke Jansen (Critical Infrastructure Lab) would be perfect.

My two cents, st.

Hi everyone,

And thanks Stefi for sending this agenda. I really like Martin's work Ecologias Hybridas on data centers' water consumption, and I think it would visually work very well in the Framer Framed venue.

I also suggested we could have a panel on Data Infrastructures and Socio-Environmental injustices with Martin Tironi and Crosslucid (two artist actors, maybe could be complemented with an activist and a researcher?). I thought this for Day 2 (maybe right after the exhibition) but it could also be on Day 1 I guess.

I propose two possible restructurings of the schedule:

PROPOSAL 1:

DAY 1 (invite only)
10-15 - Invited Workshop @IAS (confirmed) (most likely starting with light lunch at 1130)
        >> we need to define everything (programme, speakers, order catering)
15:00-16:00 - Living Lab Demo
17:00 - 21:00 Borrel

DAY 2 (open)
all day long at Framer Framed: https://ecologiashibridas.cl/

09:30-10:00 - Arrival & Coffee
10:00–10:15 — Welcome & framing (Stefania)
10:15-11:00 — Introduction to the project (all)
11:00–12:15 — Keynote Block I (2 speakers)
12:15–13:15 — Networking lunch
13:15–14:15 — Exhibition presentation
14:15-14:45 — Panel Data infrastructures and socio-environmental justice with Martin Tironi, CrossLucid, and ...
14:45-15:00 — Closing & borrel

--> this proposal is to have the exhibition at Framer Framed on Day 2 and the Lab demo in a more grassroots space in the city, directly inviting people into the borrel/festive situation (I'm thinking for example the place where Geert did the book launch, but could be some place else, also Kapitein Zeppos for example, closer but smaller).

PROPOSAL 2:

DAY 1 (invite only)
10-15 - Invited Workshop @IAS (confirmed) (most likely starting with light lunch at 1130)
        >> we need to define everything (programme, speakers, order catering)
15:00-16:00 - Panel Data infrastructures and socio-environmental justice with Martin Tironi, CrossLucid, and ...
17:00 - 21:00 Borrel

DAY 2 (open)
all day long at Framer Framed: https://ecologiashibridas.cl/

09:30-10:00 - Arrival & Coffee
10:00–10:15 — Welcome & framing (Stefania)
10:15-11:00 — Introduction to the project (all)
11:00–12:15 — Keynote Block I (2 speakers)
12:15–13:15 — Networking lunch
13:15–14:15 — Keynote Block II (3-4 speakers)
14:15-14:45 — Living Lab demo
14:45-15:00 — Closing & borrel

--> this proposal keeps the original structure and changes the Day 1 exhibition with an intersectorial panel, so that the exhibition can still happen at Framer Framed and the Living Lab demo can also happen during the open day.

Let me know what you think
Giulia

5pm > public event + festive moment
@ LOCATION??
@Giulia Campaioli<mailto:g.campaioli at uva.nl>: what about Martin Tironi’s https://ecologiashibridas.cl/ (on our advisory board)?

DAY 2 (open)
09:30-10:00 - Arrival & Coffee

@core at lists.datagovlab.net<mailto:core at lists.datagovlab.net>: what do you think of this skeleton programme? (After defining speakers, we can arrange the content/format)

@ LOCATION?? Is Framer Framed an option? I don’t know the space

Potential speakers to reach out to. We need a (also financially) healthy mix of EU and non-EU, and locals.

  *
Claudia Aradau<https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/professor-claudia-aradau-1> (UK, IR) OR Louise Amore<https://www.durham.ac.uk/staff/louise-amoore/> (UK, pol geography) - probably not available due to health reasons

  *
Fernando Filgueiras (Brazil) - on advisory board; met recently in Brasilia, available to come (at least when we spoke in December), author of this<https://www.cambridge.org/core/elements/abs/artificial-intelligence-and-public-policy/B71FDB14B9DC572152DA23E7CCCC0AF7> and this<https://books.google.nl/books?hl=en&lr=&id=AHfkEAAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PP1&dq=Fernando+filgueira+algorithms+as+institutions&ots=l1H5-mQZ1L&sig=7YiHqCf3Ex2GebLxr8Uydd0HA7A#v=onepage&q=Fernando%20filgueira%20algorithms%20as%20institutions&f=false> and much more. Not sure how he is as a speaker, but a generous person and working with government now on health tech
  *
Evelyn Ruppert<https://www.gold.ac.uk/global-change/people/emeritus-staff/> (UK, sociology) - on our advisory board; great for many reasons and fun speaker
  *
Rocco Bellanova OR Mathias Leese (Zurich one or the other 😉) (we could also invite one of them for day 1, the other for day 2)
  *
Martin Tironi<https://diseno.uc.cl/persona/tironi-martin/> <https://diseno.uc.cl/persona/tironi-martin/> for the artist programme but also substantive contribution if needed
  *
Mariana Valente (two concerns: she does Internet governance more that governance by; would be a second Brazilian if Fernando joins us, too)

Locals, or almost locals:

  *
Seda Gurses<https://www.tudelft.nl/staff/f.s.gurses/> (Delft, security engineering) - awesome, and on our advisory board. Very political
  *
Marjolein Lanzig<https://www.uva.nl/profiel/l/a/m.lanzing/m.lanzing.html> (UvA, philosophy) - a great troublemaker, vocal, lively, fun
  *
Niels ten Oever<https://www.uva.nl/en/profile/o/e/n.tenoever/n.tenoever.html> (UvA, critical infrastructure studies) - also a vocal troublemaker, much on governance OF tech and standards, good for a more technically-inclined input; nice also for continuity with DATACTIVE and IN-SIGHT projects (my past endeavour)
  *
Marieke De Goede<https://www.uva.nl/en/profile/g/o/m.degoede/m.degoede.html> (UvA, pol sci) - might be too busy since still dean by then
  *
Bidisha Chaudhuri (UvA, media studies) - India perspective (@Sruthi Vanguri<mailto:s.vanguri at uva.nl> on topic or not?)

Sadly,

  *
Linnet Taylor is not available due to health reasons.

For DAY 1

  *   Mansi Kedia for workshop/panel - Governance/Policy/Global South/DPI (@Sruthi Vanguri<mailto:s.vanguri at uva.nl> please provide more info)
  *
Cecilia Passanti (STS, Paris) - just finished PhD on biometrics in Africa. She applied for a DATAGOV postdoc, but didn’t make the cut; might be interesting to invite for the workshop
  *
Maybe Mariana Valente or Fernando?
  *
For the EU: Rocco or Mathias
  *
+ maybe Niels and …?

Please answer to this thread, we need to make some urgent decisions.
Thanks a million, stefi
