Digital Social Innovation Crowdmapping oragnisations and activities across Europe February 2014, DSI Policy workshop Francesca Bria, Nesta Francesca.bria@nesta.org.uk Follow us on twitter @Digi_Si www.digitalsocial.eu
2
‘a type of social and collaborative innovation in which innovators, users and communities co- create knowledge and solutions for a wide range of social needs and at a scale that was unimaginable before the rise of ICT and the Internet’ Working definition of Digital Social Innovation (DS)
3
Mixed methods to identify the dimensions, technology trends, drivers, and motivations that define DSI and constitute a typology Dynamically map DSI networks to analyse and visualise how they are connected, how they differ and the ongoing social impact they bring (focus on grassroots communities of civic innovators, civil society, web entrepreneurs, hackers, SMEs, open source and DIY makers) Assess and compare novel approaches in bottom up innovation and catalyse breakthroughs in policy at global level Overall Research approach
4
Delivering the research through six interconnected work packages- May 2013 to October 2014
5
The broader context for digital social innovation in the EU
6
High Speed Internet Single digital market Citizens rights/Skills R&D Connected facilities … EU 2020 DSI VISION: DSI contribute to smart growth tackling societal challenges (innovation+ sustainability+inclusion) Leveraging European talent by fully engaging (new) stakeholders Taking advantage of the network effect of the Internet To be able to fully maximize and social innovation and citizens engagement, policy makers should be aware of the challenges Innovation Union Youth on the move Innovation Union Youth on the move Sustainable growth Resource efficient Europe An industrial policy for the globalization era Resource efficient Europe An industrial policy for the globalization era Inclusive growth An agenda for new skills and jobs European platform against poverty An agenda for new skills and jobs European platform against poverty Smart growth Smart growth Digital Agenda DSI A Digital Agenda for Europe Horizons 2020: Joint Open R&I Programmes

Digital social innovation – case studies
12
Organizations and activities that supports or operates online services that do all of the following: Focuses on grass-roots or "bottom-up" communities of users. Uses online/digital tools or methods in a disruptive way (open hardware, open knowledge-open software and open data, open sensor networks) Makes a positive social impact Creates a "network effect" through collaboration online i.e. the larger number of users a service has, the better it work EU focus Case study criteria
14
OKFN, CC Open Data Sets Created For More Than 60 Million Companies
15
OKFN, CC Open source hardware, open data, open software
17
Gabriella_levine, CC More Than 11 Million Data Points Safecast Has Been Used On All 7 Continents
18
Ars Electronica, CC Collects, Analyses And Reports On Data Relating To Network Neutrality And Civil Rights In The Digital Domain. ChokePointProject
19
Free software and open network for anonimity online, privacy protection against network surveillance and traffic analysis
20
Direct and open democracy, deliberation platforms based on free software and citizens’ control of data
21
Data Collection and Mapping
22
DSI open data set by “technology focus” 290 organisations 180 activities after 2 months of Beta launch
23
Filter by “Domain of activity”
25
Types of network effect enabled by DSI
26
Non-institutional actors are sources of innovation and need systemic synergies to diffuse Mix of access to shared resources, skills, capabilities, and self- governance frameworks to mobilise collective action Building communities based on the right mix of motivation and incentives (financial and non-monetary incentives and outcomes) Access to knowledge, open infrastructures, and open licensing schemes (Digital Commons) New indicators and metrics to assess the impact of DSI and to know what works and what doesn’t Addressing barriers to growth and scale, connect across boundaries. Reusability of solutions is key to scale without lock-in solutions Making social impact most important
27
What’s next? Enlarge the Data set and build a DSI constituency How to formulate effective Policy Recommendations and Actions for DSI Experimenting and Prototyping DSI
