Hi Soile, I hope you found Cornelia already. But just in case..I'll reach out to her to make sure she finds your question. Cheers, Robin

Hi Cornelia,
This is a great event, thank you for sharing!

Do you know how we could register our startup for the Tech4Good Marketplace demo? We are running a EU Life - funded project in Amsterdam, this would perhaps be a great place to showcase both the technology and the project?

Best,

My name is Pınar Ebe-Güzgü, a PhD student at İzmir Katip Çelebi University, Turkey, currently conducting research at the University of Twente. My doctoral research focuses on social justice and disadvantaged groups in the context of smart city applications, with a particular emphasis on the mobility of elderly people (defined by WHO as people over the age of 65).

As part of my research, I conduct in-depth interviews with residents (aged 65+) of Amsterdam, caretakers of elderly individuals, and those working on (or with expertise in) smart city initiatives. The goal is to explore the mobility experiences of 65+ people in Amsterdam and develop policy recommendations to enhance social justice in urban management.

If you would like to share your experiences, your participation in this research would be invaluable. All interviews will be conducted at a time and format that suits you.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Your insights will greatly contribute to our understanding of how smart city applications impact the mobility and quality of life of older individuals.

If you are interested in participating, please reach out to me via the email address below:

Nog nooit was het zo makkelijk om je DNA te laten testen, op afkomst, verwantschap en op gezondheid. Je staat daarbij je meest persoonlijke data af, zonder controle te hebben over wat er met die gegevens gebeurd. Gelukkig kan het digitaliseren van DNA binnenkort ook anders - op zo’n manier dat we een bruikbare database voor de samenleving bouwen, terwijl jij controle over je eigen data behoudt. Tijdens Waag Open op donderdag 12 december duiken we in de waarde en in de risico’s van een digitale DNA databank. Maak kennis met de eerste testpersonen en ontwerp zelf mee!

Kijk voor meer informatie op waag.org.

Datum: Donderdag 12 december
Tijd: 19:30 - 22:00 uur
Locatie: Waag, Nieuwmarkt 4, Amsterdam

Waag Open

Elke eerste donderdagavond van de maand opent Waag haar deuren! Kom langs om te discussiëren en te doen. Want we gaan niet alleen in discussie over maatschappelijke thema's en de toekomst – je leert daarnaast ook altijd iets praktisch. Iets dat je altijd al hebt willen uitproberen, zoals de 3D-printer in het FabLab, of juist iets dat je nooit had verwacht, zoals uitpluizen hoe DNA in elkaar zit in ons biotech-lab. Waag Open vindt plaats in de maakplaatsen op de eerste en tweede verdieping van het historische Waaggebouw op de Nieuwmarkt.

Wist je dat Overhoeks het oudste stukje Amsterdam-Noord is? En dat vlak achter Eye het galgenveld van Amsterdam lag? Verhaalpaal Noord is een openluchttentoonstelling over de onbekende geschiedenis van Amsterdam-Noord die vanaf maart 2025 te zien is op Overhoeks in Amsterdam Noord.

Verhaalpaal Noord wordt ontwikkeld door creatief bureau Zeppa in samenwerking met schrijver Bas Kok. Het project is onderdeel van Amsterdam 750, maar we zijn nog op zoek naar laatste financiering en zijn daarom een crowdfunding gestart.

Wil jij helpen de onbekende geschiedenis van Noord zichtbaar te maken? Steun ons dan op voordekunst.
