Innovació ambiental i social para la sostenibilitad
Els desafiaments als quals s'enfronten les nostres societats requereixen considerar la direcció dels processos d'innovació, més enllà de les seues dimensions purament tecnològiques o econòmiques. En conseqüència, INGENIO analitza el significat i les implicacions de la investigació i innovació responsable, i la contribució dels processos d'innovació a la creació de models socioeconòmics sostenibles i societats més inclusives.
Marta G. Rivera, investigadora d'INGENIO (CSIC-UPV), ha participat a un reportatge per a la televisió autonòmica catalana (TV3). Rivera ha parlat sobre el sistema alimentari actual, "responsable d'un terç de les emissions de gasos d'efecte hivernacle".
"La crisi climàtica ja està reduint la producció d'aliments. A nivell global, un 5%, i a la regió mediterrània, els fenòmens extrems i els canvis en els patrons de pluja faran que diminueixi un 17% d'aquí al 2030", ha explicat la investigadora.
Marta G. Rivera, investigadora d'INGENIO (CSIC-UPV), estarà present a la V Jornada per l’aprofitament dels aliments i sistemes agroalimentaris més sostenibles, organitzat per l'Institut Estudis Catalans.

In this presentation I will describe briefly the work within The Group of Energy, Economy and Systems Dynamics (GEEDS) at the University of Valladolid and how system dynamics can help solve certain crucial questions for the socio-ecological transition. Integrated assessment models have the characteristics of including several sectors that interact with each other, system dynamics specifically include the mechanism of feedback loops among different sectors that will be shown in the presentation.

Chimwemwe will discuss opportunities for partnerships, priorities, and contributions of university-community partnerships for climate adaptation in Malawi. He will further share insights on how the human development approach, which foregrounds people-centeredness to development and focuses on expanding the richness of human life aside from the richness of the economy, can be applied to design university-community partnership models for the climate change approach in Malawi.
20/07/2023Jennifer Schooling - Cambridge Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction
Dr Schooling will discuss the opportunities and challenges presented by city-scale digitalisation, with a focus on three core aspects: governance, ethics and technology. She will describe the findings of the Digital Cities for Change programme, funded by the Ove Arup Foundation, which evaluates both the existing structures and systems of city and infrastructure management, and investigates how digital tools can help better decision-making within these areas.
Temporary rivers (TRs) are defined as watercourses that may dry up for some period of time within the year. At the global scale, TRs represent more than 50% of the world’s river network, demonstrating that non-perennial rivers are the rule rather than the exception on Earth. In addition, TRs are becoming more and more common in this era due to the combined effect of climate change and increasing water demand. TRs have been overlooked by hydrologists. Most freshwater science has been focused on the management and conservation of perennial rivers (i.e., rivers that continuously flow).

The recent emergence of an autonomous vehicle (AV) industry in the U.S. has been attributed primarily to the 2004-2007 DARPA Grand Challenges, three competitions during which teams constructed robots to transverse a desert racecourse (2004-2005) and complete a series of simulated urban driving scenarios (2007).
This talk will have two main parts: 1) risks in AI systems; 2) AI for online safety. In the first part, I will talk about three risks of using AI: security, privacy, and discrimination. I will show that attacks that can be performed to exploit AI models and attack the systems that use them, that AI-based systems can be privacy-intrusive, and that AI-based systems may have biases that may lead to discriminate against particular types of users (e.g. based on gender/ethnicity). I will then outline our current research and projects on making AI safer.
Cuando el modelo económico trabaja de espaldas a la vida y la sociedad hace propuestas transformadoras necesitamos que estas propuestas lleguen muy lejos. Para que esto ocurra debe ser entendido, lo que no siempre es fácil. En este seminario practicaremos con el juego Consortium que es un juego que traslada el conocimiento sobre el sistema económica y las alternativas de una forma sencilla y divertida.

"Líbrate de vivir tiempos interesantes", decían en la China de la antigüedad, refiriéndose a las épocas de ruptura de la continuidad civilizatoria. Pero nos ha tocado vivir una, y debemos afrontarla lo mejor posible. En tiempos de necesario cambio de nuestras dinámicas sociometabólicas, con el llamado "final de la abundancia" -de recursos energéticos, materiales, de capacidad de sumideros...-, no tiene sentido vivir y proyectar como si todo fuera seguir las inercias que conocemos, porque no va a ser así.

There is increasing attention to the role of government to steer and speed the direction of social and economic development in order to face the societal challenges of our time. There is the belief amongst the epistemic community working in science and technology policy research that change is required and that innovation can play a major role. The notion of transformative innovation encapsulates the idea that a radical change in practices and behaviour of all actors across society is needed. But who is in position to lead or influence such change?

In light of grand societal challenges there is an increasing awareness of the need for transformative innovation policies. So far, the literature on this topic has paid insufficient attention to the role of the regional policy level. Transformative innovation policy approaches have received critique for lacking sensitivity and attention to context-specific factors and for advocating rathe rather ‘place blind’ policies. Over the past few years, scholarly work has begun to give more attention to such policies on a regional scale.

Given the importance that current food-related challenges pose to our society, the potential of local food initiatives to address sustainability has gained increased academic attention. Nevertheless, research has increasingly demonstrated that local food initiatives might also have adverse effects and thus are limited in fulfilling their sustainability potential.

Regional institutional settings significantly influence the pace and scope of sustainability transitions. However, the complex institutional dynamics underpinning 'Regional Transition Paths to Sustainability' (RTPS) are not well understood. In this seminar we will elaborate how a focus on organizational change can help to make visible hidden institutional dynamics in RTPS. Starting from this, we will introduce the method of 'Transition Topology' and illustrate its application possibilities and potentials using different empirical examples.
Para que la transición energética que hay en marcha contribuya a fines como la justicia social, la profundización de la democracia y la sostenibilidad ambiental, ha de plantear una transformación de las relaciones de poder imperantes. Las lógicas mercantilistas y extractivistas del actual modelo energético y sus impactos sociales y ambientales nos afectan de manera desigual. La transición energética hacia un modelo 100% renovable no implica que este modelo sea justo, viable o sostenible.
A presentation of the European project RISIS to which INGENIO participates. RISIS (European Research Infrastructure for Science, technology and Innovation policy Studies) aims at building a data and services infrastructure supporting the development of a new generation of analyses and indicators about Science, Technology and Innovation (STI). It provides 14 datasets about STI, services for data enhancement and analysis (e.g. geocoding, network analysis), and a portal to access and connect these datasets and services.
La conferencia abordará los múltilples impactos que el actual modelo agroalimentario está teniendo en todo el mundo. Aunque estos impactos tienen distinta expresión en los distintos países y territorios, en conjunto nos hablan de un modelo global profundamente insostenible que requiere de una transformación sistémica profunda.
