In recent decades, political institutions have witnessed a gradual erosion of trust among their constituents, a trend exacerbated by the economic and financial crisis. According to the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS), over the past 20 years, vote turnout in both Western and Eastern democracies has dropped by an average of 10 percentage points.Within the European Union, which has faced criticism from citizens, non-governmental organizations, and other civil society groups, the challenge of greater involvement in European policy-making is consistently highlighted. From 2002 to 2010, the percentage of Europeans expressing dissatisfaction with politics increased from 31% to 43% (EPRS).Participatory budgeting (PB) emerged as a solution to rejuvenate democratic participation, reinforce civil society, modernize public services, and combat corruption in the EU. According to the EPRS, the number of participatory budgeting experiments in the EU surged from 55 to over 1,300 between 2005 and 2012, engaging more than 8 million EU citizens.Currently, PB is primarily employed at the municipal level, where citizens are invited to propose and vote on initiatives to be executed through the local budget. Although there are instances at regional and national levels, this practice has yet to be implemented on a European scale.In the context of the H2020 project DEMOTEC, listen this Euractiv Virtual Conference to discuss PB and its potential at an EU level. Some questions to be discussed include:- How will PB work in practice concerning specific policies at an EU level?- How can PB complement representative democracy? Is it a valuable tool for improving citizens' trust in EU institutions?- What challenges are associated with implementing such a process at an EU level?This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Program under Grant Agreement no 962553.This website reflects only the author's view and the Research Executive Agency or European Commission is not responsible for any use that may be made of the information it contains.

How did a space-age invention become ubiquitous in today's digital imaging landscape? Learn all about it here in our latest podcast, featuring pioneers of photography and digital imaging.   In 1993, noted physicist and engineer Eric Fossum led the invention of the CMOS active-pixel image sensor as part of his work for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Then, as part of JPL's mandate to seek commercial and consumer applications for emerging technologies, he was active in the transfer of the CMOS sensor's “camera-on-a-chip” technology to industry.   In our informative conversation with Professor Fossum, he makes distinctions between solid state CCDs and his more efficient CMOS sensor that would come to dominate the marketplace. To transform high-level science into layman's terms, he uses the analogy of a bucket brigade collecting rain on a football field.   In a similar down-to-earth fashion, we touch on metaphysical issues like wave particle duality, and how this is demonstrated every time light enters a camera and you take a picture with your phone.   Join us to marvel at the wonders of science amid fun food references—from the way deep space radiation degrades CCD chips so they start to act like Swiss cheese, to the synergies between high-level scientific measurements and delicatessen lunch meats, both marks of a creative scientist and visionary educator. Guest: Eric Fossum Above photograph © John Sherman Photography, https://jshermanphoto.com/   Episode Timeline:   2:31: Eric Fossum's beginnings in hands-on science explorations, computer programming, and his love for launching model rockets, plus the role photography has played in his life.   9:26: Fossum's early research in CCD sensor technologies, his interest in trying to marry cameras to artificial intelligence, and his invitation to join NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 1990.   14:00: The differences between CCD and CMOS sensors, and a description of how they work using the analogy of a bucket brigade to collect rain on a football field.   23:35: A history of active pixel sensor devices, an explanation about two kinds of image noise, the metaphysics of photons, plus how the wave particle duality from quantum mechanics is demonstrated every time you take a picture with your phone.   33:10: Fossum's role in the transfer of CMOS sensor technology to US industry, co-founding his company Photobit, and negotiations for licensing the technology with CalTech.   43:23: Episode Break   44:36: The sale of Photobit to Micron, Fossum's move to New Hampshire, consulting work on 3-D imaging sensors for Samsung TVs, and the beginnings of his teaching career at Dartmouth.   50:00: A book chapter on the future of image sensors, and the evolution of this idea to a university project, which led to Fossum co-founding the start-up company, Gigajot, with his PhD students.   52:30: Explaining the difference between the operation of CMOS and Quanta image sensors.   54:03: The resulting applications of CMOS image sensor technology, and the positive use of CMOS image sensors for social justice purposes.   57:22: Fossum's thoughts about STEM education, and connections between academia and applications in the wider world.   1:01:32: Parting thoughts about AI and the ability to authenticate images at the source, plus Fossum's newest award: The Trinity College President's Medal for Science & Innovation.   Guest Bio:   Eric Fossum, a Queen Elizabeth Prize Laureate and recipient of a 2021 Emmy Award, is one of the world's experts in solid-state image sensors. He developed the CMOS active pixel image sensor while working at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Today, this “camera-on-a-chip” technology is used in almost all cell-phone cameras, webcams, many digital-still cameras and in medical imaging, among other applications.   A serial entrepreneur, with a career that has spanned academic and government research, and entrepreneurial leadership, Fossum is currently the John H. Krehbiel Sr. Professor for Emerging Technologies at Dartmouth's Thayer School of Engineering, where he teaches, performs image sensor research, and directs the School's Ph.D. Innovation Program. He also serves as Dartmouth's Vice Provost for Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer.      Stay Connected: Eric Fossum Website: https://ericfossum.com/ Eric Fossum Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Fossum Eric Fossum at the National Inventor's Hall of Fame: https://www.invent.org/inductees/eric-r-fossum Eric Fossum at Dartmouth Engineering: https://engineering.dartmouth.edu/community/faculty/eric-fossum Eric Fossum bio from the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering: https://qeprize.org/winners/eric-fossum Eric Fossum's 2021 Emmy Award in Tech and Engineering https://www.nhbr.com/dartmouth-professor-wins-emmy-award-for-image-sensor-technology/ Logitech: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/browse/Logitech/ci/13968/N/4232861614

Anyone can be a writer – even an accomplished chef! The first step is deciding what you'll write about. It could be something you're passionate about or particularly skilled in... Or could it simply be the book (or cookbook) you think is missing from the world! Dennis Chan grew up in Jacksonville, where his family has owned twelve restaurants in the past eight decades. His earliest memories of food include standing on a little stool next to his grandfather's restaurant stove while watching him cook. Somehow, Dennis always knew that he would end up in the restaurant business. He opened Blue Bamboo in his hometown in 2005, after graduating from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America and working with the Disney Company, and celebrity chef Ming Tsai. Chef Dennis is an adjunct professor at Florida State College at Jacksonville and teaches personal enrichment cooking classes at Blue Bamboo. Chan's first cookbook, Hip Asian Comfort Food, was published in 2009.  He also served as president of the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association North East chapter. Dennis won the 2018 Neighborhood to Nation recipe contest by General Mills and was chosen as one of 16 chefs to participate in Hormel Foods' Culinary Enrichment and Innovation Program. Chef Chan lives in Jacksonville, Florida with his wife Elizabeth, and seven-year-old sons Bennett and Michael. He says, “After working around the country, I am so happy to have found my way back home.” A supporter of many local organizations, Dennis believes that there is a place in everyone's heart and schedule for worthwhile organizations.    Officially known as the Boss of Food in her family, interviewer Lauren Titus is a long-time Northeast Florida resident who brings over 30 years experience in our area's local food movement to the magazine, along with a passion and expertise in baking and front-yard farming. After a career in digital production and enterprise content management, Lauren is excited to be focused on her first loves: writing and talking about food and the vital role it plays in our community. Lauren lives with her husband in St. Augustine, and while her children have flown from the nest, they continue to support the local food scenes in Austin and Los Angeles. READ Check out Dennis's cookbook, Let's Eat, from the library! DENNIS RECOMMENDS Places in Jacksonville to hold events in: The Main Library's Ansbacher Map Room is a cool place to hang out. It is also just a few floors away from the Main Library's Conference Center, which has an auditorium and a very functional event room. We have gotten the chance to cater in some pretty cool venues over the last 18 years. Some were on top of tall buildings, like the clubhouse at the Peninsula, and some were on the ground surrounded by trees, like Chandler Oaks Barn. We've catered at shooting ranges, and at homes right on the beach. We also I also love the venues making a difference for organizations in our community such as the soundstage at WJCT and the Glass Factory. Book inspirations: Hello Cupcake for playful decorating techniques on cupcakes.  The author is the photographer from my mentor's book, Blue Ginger Cookbook. Looking through that book always brings a smile. I have authored two cookbooks currently, Hip Asian Comfort Food and Let's Eat. Local bookstores carry them, and there is a copy at the Main Library. Southern Goodness from Celestia Mobley is my favorite local cookbook.      Music inspirations: My favorite songs are cooking show theme songs.   Sources for great ingredients: Jax Oriental, La Salsa, and Caribbean-Latino Asian are all well-stocked Asian markets. Atlantic Beach Urban Farms, Be Well Greens, and Bacon Farms are all great places to get fresh produce. The North Florida School has a good program teaching special needs children how to grow and maintain produce, and how to work in kitchens. Nothing beats Azar Sausage Company for locally made sausage. Cline's Custom Meats is the best place locally to get a steak to cook at home. We also have a cool "u-pick" persimmon farm here called Willie's Sweet Persimmons. Local Personal Enrichment Cooking Schools: A Chefs Cooking Studio and Italian Cooking Lessons Jax are two places that I teach on occasion, in addition to cooking classes at Blue Bamboo. --- Never miss an event!

Innovation means different things to different people. When a CEO says “innovation”, it's rare that employees truly understand what the CEO means. Innovation can mean … a thing, a value, a concept, a process or a strategy. Yet, some leaders use it to describe technology, R&D,or marketing. Sadly, innovation often gets thrown around like magic dust, a buzzword that's lost its charm. In this show, John Storm, President of the BrainStorm Network, will share his insights & experiences after 25 years of innovation involvement. We'll talk about a proven innovation process, along with a new model for designing a company's innovation strategy. Getting clear about what metrics should be used to measure innovation's impact is critical. We'll talk about both hard & soft metrics you can use to focus on the key elements in designing a customized innovation strategy. Innovation ultimately means long-term survival, for if a company is not changing, improving, and growing, it will die.

Sadly, innovation often gets thrown around like magic dust, a buzzword that's lost its charm. In this show, John Storm, President of the BrainStorm Network, will share his insights & experiences after 25 years of innovation involvement.

I was moved during this conversation with Arlene. She epitomises humanity and oozes a desire to leave the planet and people in a better place than which she found them. We discuss human-centered design, innovation, her sabbatical, #HumansFirst, community, awareness and so much more. Some of the key highlights for me include: - “I’ve seen how the business idea, developed in isolation, iterated, but not always with the information of the user with that information of the user coming late in the game. I love the human-centred philosophy which flips that” – 05.55 - “Start by listening to those that will be impacted. Understand that piece first without your assumptions and biases” – 07.25 - “why create in isolation, why not create by having input and feedback from the people that are going to actually experience whatever that output is” - 12.30 “I love approaching problems from this consideration of all of the others. I think that human-centred design accounts for that other piece” – 14.10 - “What inspires me is not just the human-centred design approach, but the intersection of public policy, legislation and date” – 14.25 - “The unknown felt really uncomfortable because it was so ambiguous” – 21.55 Arlene can be contacted via the following means: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/arlenemendoza/ Please find my Interpersonal Catalyst brochure here in case I can support you at all -> https://my.visme.co/projects/rxyz4jpo-garry-turner-interpersonal-catalyst --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/valuevulnerability/message

They may be structured differently with different activities, metrics, and incentives, but they all have one thing in common: an attempt to combine the best internal and external resources to improve the evolving customer experience. That’s true at Aflac, as well. Th firm’s VP of US innovation Keith Farley joins us on the podcast today to talk about how the insurer’s defines innovation and how the structure of the program helps them achieve their objectives. We discuss the Hatch Lab that the company runs and how its relationships with local universities contribute to the innovation program. Lastly, Aflac has a corporate venture arm and we talk about its activities and the types of companies it invests in. Keith Farley is my guest today on the Tearsheet Podcast. Before we jump into the podcast, we’re winding up submissions for our Tearsheet Innovation Program Awards. We’re looking to hear about the best and most creative innovation programs that are more than just innovation theater. Does your organization have a good story to tell? Head on over to our website and click on the Awards button to let us know.

Innovation means different things to different people. When a CEO says “innovation”, it's rare that employees truly understand what the CEO means. Innovation can mean … a thing, a value, a concept, a process or a strategy. Yet, some leaders use it to describe technology, R&D,or marketing. Sadly, innovation often gets thrown around like magic dust, a buzzword that's lost its charm. In this show, John Storm, President of the BrainStorm Network, will share his insights & experiences after 25 years of innovation involvement. We'll talk about a proven innovation process, along with a new model for designing a company's innovation strategy. Getting clear about what metrics should be used to measure innovation's impact is critical. We'll talk about both hard & soft metrics you can use to focus on the key elements in designing a customized innovation strategy. Innovation ultimately means long-term survival, for if a company is not changing, improving, and growing, it will die.

In January 2012, MITRE performed a real-time, red team/blue team cyber-wargame experiment. This presented the opportunity to blend cyber-warfare with traditional mission planning and execution, including denial and deception tradecraft. The cyber-wargame was designed to test a dynamic network defense cyber-security platform being researched in The MITRE Corporation's Innovation Program called Blackjack, and to investigate the utility of using denial and deception to enhance the defense of information in command and control systems. The Blackjack tool failed to deny the adversary access to real information on the command and control mission system. The adversary had compromised a number of credentials without the computer network defenders' knowledge, and thereby observed both the real command and control mission system and the fake command and control mission system. However, traditional denial and deception techniques were effective in denying the adversary access to real information on the real command and control mission system, and instead provided the adversary with access to false information on a fake command and control mission system. About the speaker: Kristin E. Heckman, D.Sc. is a Lead Scientist at The MITRE Corporation with interdisciplinary skills in computer science, cognitive science, neuropsychology, and cognitive neuroscience. She has ten years of experience in applied research, serving as the principal investigator for MITRE Innovation Program research projects or as the project leader for sponsored work across the Intelligence Community. Her research areas include intelligence interviewing, deception detection, subconscious priming, perception, denial and deception in computer security, and the psychophysiological and neurological signatures of emotions, intent, and deception. She has authored several papers, a book chapter, and a book. She has developed and delivered training in these areas for internal MITRE Institute courses, as well as for external courses in sponsor environments. She was an adjunct faculty member of The George Washington University from 2005-2007, teaching Computer Science Senior Design.
