LAST CHANCE: CALL FOR PAPERS: MICRO EVIDENCE ON INNOVATION IN DEVELOPING ECONOMIES

 The University of Tartu and UNU-MERIT are announcing the Fourth Conference on  Micro Evidence on Innovation and Development (MEIDE), to be held in Tartu  (Estonia) on May 27-28, 2010. The aim of the conference is to bring together  researchers from around the world to discuss the importance of innovation, and  its different dimensions, for economic growth and development. Many countries  have conducted micro surveys on innovation for a number of years. It would be  interesting to confront what has been learned from these surveys, and from case  studies, to guide innovation policy. Empirical contributions based on micro  data, from firm or household surveys, are particularly welcome, but also case  studies and theoretical papers. Researchers are invited to submit a full paper by March 8, 2010

Call for Participants www.syntheticaesthetics.org February 2010

We seek participants for a research project on synthetic biology, design, and aesthetics. The project will provide funding to bring together scientists and engineers working in synthetic biology with artists, designers, and other creative practitioners. Resources will be made available for ‘embedded residencies’, in which artists and designers will spend time in laboratories, and scientists and engineers in artistic studios and design workspaces. It is our intention that such collaborations will produce presentable results, although the form these take is entirely open to the participants.  
Travel and accommodation expenses will be covered by the project.
We aim to construct the groundwork for future collaborations that could inform new types of engineering, new schools of art and design, and innovative approaches to the study of synthetic biology in society.

La empresa Google ha abierto una página que facilita el intercambio de información sobre personas afectadas por el sismo de 8,8 de magnitud en la escala de Richter que sacudió hoy a Chile.

La página puede encontrarse en http://chilepersonfinder.appspot.com/


En ella los internautas pueden pedir información sobre alguien, colgar fotos para facilitar su búsqueda y ofrecer datos sobre el paradero de personas. A las 18:00 GMT el sitio contaba con 1.100 registros.


Uno de ellos se refiere, por ejemplo, a Carolina García Lino, una boliviana de 28 años que estudia botánica en Concepción, sobre la que solicita información Erika García.


Por su parte, Yuri Galdames pide información sobre Marcela Alejandra Palma López, de Talcahuano.

Google estableció un servicio similar tras el terremoto de Haití, el cual acumuló 58.700 registros.

The two-year part-time MAS Scenography offers graduates and design professionals a creative platform for exploring and developing their individual design language and practice. The programme interrelates historical and contemporary debates in architecture, art, theatre, and exhibition design with scenography as a transdisciplinary approach.  

El próximo día 17 de marzo a partir de las 18h. tendrá lugar en el centro de las artes de Sevilla una de las actividades que más vinculación emocional tiene con ZEMOS98, la realización en directo de Radioactivos Expandido, un programa de radio sobre el procomún cotidiano.

Buscamos personas, proyectos, iniciativas, colectivos, que desde una posición invisible, hagan algún tipo de aportación al procomún. Prácticas cotidianas que giren en torno a la lógica de la cultura libre. Para afinar un poco más, esto es lo que realmente queremos:
Reinventar la vida cotidiana.
Generar espacios para la educación expandida, el conocimiento compartido y la inteligencia colectiva.
Importar ideas del procomún que sean aplicables a otros contextos, a nuestro contexto. Apropiacionistas de lo cotidiano.
Ser una máquina de ánimos, donde lo popular, lo común, lo habitual nos permita ver el mundo por vez primera.
Saber qué ocurre en los márgenes del escenario, divertirnos con los funambulistas de las realidad.
