Growing a digital social innovation ecosystem for Europe.pdf

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Digital technologies and the Internet have transformed many areas of business from Google and Amazon to Airbnb and Kickstarter.

and infrastructures e g. sensor networks where they connect their devices, such as phones and Internet modems,

which was founded in 2000 as a response to the lack of broadband Internet in rural Catalonia,

and provides Internet connection to those who would otherwise not be able to access it. 6 Growing a Digital Social Innovation Ecosystem for Europe Who are the digital social innovators?

The Internet is approximately 40 years old and its capacity for generating societal and economic value is understood relatively well,

therefore, exists at the heart of the Internet. Despite the existence of a technical networking layer that could spread power

and solutions for a wide range of social needs and at a scale and speed that was unimaginable before the rise of the Internet'.

1. 1 Project overview 1. 2 Harnessing Collective Intelligence for the social good 1. 3 Digital Social Innovation in the context of Future Internet in Europe Growing

In particular, we examine how some of these digital services can take advantage of the network effect of the Internet

as the Internet is increasingly the technical underpinning of the sociotechnical fabric of our societies.

1) the level of the technical networking infrastructure itself provided by the Internet and 2) the level of online services built on top of these networks.

For example, despite the Internet being funded a military research project and the web a scientific project at their inceptions,

the Internet and web were based on open standards and a radically decentralised architecture that could be harnessed by any actor.

Beyond the Internet, many new technologies such as open hardware may have positive network externalities. This network effect applies in a straightforward manner for some services such as social networking sites like Facebook,

For each kind of socially innovative service, we want to determine how they can maximise their impact using the infrastructure made available by the widespread usage of digital tools such as the Internet.

the Internet forms a natural digital substrate for collective intelligence. Looking forward collective intelligence is necessary for social innovation to tackle the problems facing society in today's complex and interconnected world, where grasping problems such as the financial crisis, climate change,

At the present moment, the Internet offers unprecedented opportunities for collective intelligence via its increasing ubiquity and the massive amounts of data available for collective transformation into knowledge.

More than five billion additional people will connect to the Internet globally in the next ten years,

whilst over twenty billion objects will be connected to the Internet, transmitting data coming from people, sensors, the environment and objects themselves.

However, we cannot expect the Internet by itself to drive innovation to help citizens address major societal challenges.

If we observe the Internet during its early phases when it was funded primarily by research and defense, its founding principles, such as network neutrality, equitable service,

A main Internet trend-threat is recognised today: an increasing concentration of power in services in the hands of a few data aggregators, none of which are based in Europe (Google controlling nearly 82%of the global search market and 98%of the mobile search market,

and stimulate inclusive innovation. 1. 3 DIGITAL SOCIAL INNOVATION IN THE CONTEXT OF FUTURE INTERNET IN EUROPE The world wide web became successful

The future of the Internet should remain pluralistic, so that there is space for DSI alongside commercial services in the Cloud.

Digital social innovation could play a central role in the development of the Future Internet and the Internet of things.

The alternative is to accelerate innovations that align the capacities of the Internet better to social needs

A major risk for the Future Internet is the realisation of the‘Big brother'scenario, with big industrial players (mainly US-based) reinforcing their dominant position by implementing platform lock in strategies,

since we are seeing a consolidation of existing powers at every layer of the Internet ecosystem.

In the UK, Nesta research documented how 25%of UK adults used Internet technologies to share assets and resources in 2013 20146.

Commotion and Tor are using bottom-up privacy-preserving decentralised infrastructure for the open Internet constituted by open standards,

Important developments to re-decentralise the Internet, leveraging P2p open technologies, are happening at many levels.

while preserving the openness and accessibility of the Internet infrastructure. Many activities in this space are driven by grassroots networks,

while preserving the openness and accessibility of the Internet infrastructure. It includes projects that are using bottom up privacy-preserving

Community networking (also known as bottom-up networking) is an emerging model for the Future Internet across Europe and beyond,

Internet networks have become a key infrastructure for the development of the digital economy due to the‘democratisation'of the access technologies,

and obstacles regarding Internet specifications that are exposed by these edge networks. The Guifi. net initiative is developing a free,

privacy-aware and crypto tools that bounce Internet users'and websites'traffic through‘relays'run by thousands of volunteers around the world,

Other interesting examples of multidisciplinary research projects are the Network of Excellence on Internet Science (EINS),

that aims to integrate multidisciplinary scientific understanding of Internet networks and their co-evolution with society,

and moving towards and Open source Internet of Thingst Open-source hardware consists of hardware whose blueprints are made publicly available

which facilitate the anywhere/anytime access to the Internet, and to new services So-called Cyber Physical Systems (CPS),

and with the Internet, is giving rise to what has been named as Industry 4. 019 This smart infrastructure is also increasingly getting to know people by aggregating personal and social data in massive data centres.

Successful actors in DSI have managed to leverage large networks using the Internet in order to accomplish innovation at scale by the network effect.

Top-down and systemic approaches The most relevant initiatives are the European Innovation Partnerships, Smart Cities, the Future Internet Public-Private Partnership Programme (FI-PPP),

The development of the Future Internet is addressed mainly through a number of technical projects, such as the FI PPP23 and the 5g PPP24.

Also the Internet needs to continue to be a neutral space where creativity can continue to flourish. 7. Gender Equality in DSI Promote gender equality and empowerment of women through ICT in DSI by tackling things such as criteria for funding

The Internet ecosystem today is highly centralised The current Internet is dominated by a handful of mainly US companies that control all the layers of the ecosystem (app store, cloud, machine learning, devices),

DARPA led to the creation of the internet, the R&d funding at CERN led to the invention of the Web) Encourage people to think about:

and encryption Federated identity management Data control and data ownership The EU data protection reform package Directive on the reuse of public sector information Copyright reform Net Neutrality Magna carta for the Internet Enabling

The Internet is the best example of the power of interoperability. Its open architecture has given billions of people around the world access to information,

Today mobile devices with always-on Internet connectivity are becoming widespread. 74 Growing a Digital Social Innovation Ecosystem for Europe INTEROPERABILITY50 In the area of copyright,

OPEN PLATFORMS Users of the Internet ecosystem include the independent application and service providers who have the right to use the future Internet infrastructure (including both data in a raw and processed form,

as well as access to computing resources). Any privileged access provided to the owner/managers of the infrastructure would alter free competition.

therefore allowing for innovation in the wider economy based on the Future Internet users must be able to come (no barriers to entry)

A Magna carta for the Internet Tim Berners Lee, the inventor of the Web is advocating for a sort of Magna carta for the Internet to estabilish basic rights and freedoms,

to keep the Internet open, without surveillance and censorship, and to halt power abuses from Governments and corporations.

The Magna carta for the Internet goes along with recent UN General assembly (UNGA) resolution on The Right to privacy in the Digital Age. 68.

E-business in the transport & logistics industry 40 Today, the main transport and logistics service firms are in a position to provide a variety of information via the Internet and to secure transactions online with customers.

The prominence of the internet among all computer networks is evident because of its size in terms of the number of persons and enterprises it connects and its worldwide scope.

For most EU Member States internet adoption is approaching saturation point. Overall, for the EU, by 2005,91%of enterprises with 10 or more persons employed had internet access. 58 In line with this tendency, in the present study, nearly all companies (97)

The new capabilities to use the Internet to supply large amounts of relevant information from multiple internal and external sources give the possibility to move from isolated information systems toward an integrated environment in every business organisation.

Current opinion holds that Internet-based supply chain integration with upstream suppliers and downstream customers-"e-integration"-is superior to traditional ways of doing business.

which implies the integration of business applications and data with the Internet and with the systems of the company's trading partners.
