De Gruyter webinar

Serial crisis, sky-rocketing subscription prices as well as more and more widespread and powerful OA mandates have pushed many publishers to rethink the finance of publishing the journals. Considering a switch calls out numerous challenges but it is a path more and more travelled – and importantly so an economically – sustainable and one with long-term benefits – not only for readers, but also for authors and the journal owners, too. In 2014 De Gruyter converted 14 journals to OA – this webinar looks at overarching strategies for journal transition from subs to OA – including current OA publishing landscape and single factors (like managing submissions, citations and funding) that play a role during the process. Is it worth it? Who will foot the bill? What to expect? And how to bring the EAB on board? The introductory one-hour webinar is built around three sections to allow participants to work out the flipping strategy for their publication and to timely and reasonably plan the change.

Recent ethical challenges in social network analysis (RECSNA17)

The interdisciplinary workshop RECSNA17 (Paris, 5-6 December 2017) brings together academics from several fields of knowledge to further advance the ethical reflection in the face of new research challenges. Research on social networks raises formidable ethical issues that often fall outside existing regulations. New tools to collect, treat, store personal data expose both research participants and practitioners to specific risks. Issues surrounding political instrumentalization or economic takeover of scientific results transcend standard research concerns. Legal and social ramifications of studies on personal ties and human networks surface at an unprecedented pace.

The Fate of Post-Mortem Personal Data

Profiles compiled from scattered digital footprints left by the user on the Internet shape the outline of digital identities. While the Internet user is alive, he remains in charge of managing these identities, with the help of digital privacy law. Yet as civil rights befall the living, these data protection rights, as such, fall as his death occurs. This international workshop, organised in the frame of the ENEID research project on post-mortem digital identities, will bring together scholars from the field of Information and Communication sciences and from Legal studies, as well as experts working as Data Protection Officers or working for Data Protection Authorities, in order to take a closer look at the fate of personal data after death.

Think clean

5th international congress “Sport, doping and society”

The 5th international congress “Sport, doping and society” is organized by the Spanish Agency for Health Protection in Sport (AEPSAD) and the Technical University of Madrid (UPM). Under the theme “Think Clean”, there will be presented the results of scientific researches and new methodologies in the field of doping in sport from the specific perspective of Human and Social Sciences. We believe that this initiative will contribute to identify the factors that influence the use of doping substances and methods. From this knowledge we hope to foster future prevention and doping control and to promote ethical behavior in sport.

Profile, Predict and Prevent

Data-driven policies, markets and societies

Algorithms are increasingly used, both by States,market actors and citizens, for the purpose of profiling. Through big data analysis and inference techniques, an attempt is made to better understand, predict and, in certain cases, prevent citizen behaviour. Data analysis techniques are deployed in many sectors of society, from cyber-security and police investigations to judicial decision-making, from product customization and personalisation to marketing strategies and targeted advertising, from self-monitoring to lifestyle improvement. For this conference, we invite researchers, experts and practitioners from different backgrounds to reflect upon the legal, ethical and social implications of data-driven policies, market transactions and quantified-self techniques. We welcome empirical, theoretical and philosophical contributions regarding profiling, prediction and prevention.

First International Conference on the Science and Practice of Sports Refereeing

The aim of this conference is to provide researchers studying sport refereeing with a discussion space in order to increase and improve the scientific network in this area. This network is then expected to answer new queries and to meet the practical challenges of sport refereeing. The scope of this conference includes a broad range of work which contributes to a greater understanding of refereeing performance and/or provides some directions for the development of this area. This conference will take place the 22-24 September 2014 in Clermont-Ferrand (France).

Complexity, Networks and Internet Regulation

Seminar of the ANR project on distributed architectures

Why is the Internet so difficult to regulate? In large part, its complexity and size have proved challenging, but there seems to be a lot of ignorance about how it really works. Large interconnected systems such as the Internet display a number of inherent architectural characteristics deeming them well-suited to the study of complex dynamic networks. The starting point of this talk is that it is perfectly possible to use various network science-based tools to explore the contentious issue of Internet regulation. Specifically, the Internet as a dynamic distributed system requires new challenges that rely on that same distributed nature in order to tackle them.

Disseminating research resources and publications in the humanities and social sciences. Questions of rights and ethics 1

Produire, utiliser, éditer des sources numériques fait aujourd'hui partie du travail quotidien du chercheur. Ce format numérique, comme le développement du web, a facilité grandement la diffusion des ressources documentaires iconographiques, sonores et/ou audiovisuelles dans le monde de la recherche et, au-delà, auprès de citoyens de plus en plus curieux et intéressés par les documents produits par les scientifiques. L'essor du libre-accès qui se développe aujourd'hui incite par ailleurs à ce que des données réputées « publiques » soient réellement rendues publiques. Les institutions doivent savoir répondre aux questions de respect des droits des auteurs et des personnes interrogées ou représentées que posent leurs projets de mise à disposition de ressources en libre accès tandis que les chercheurs, qui publient désormais régulièrement en ligne, se trouvent confrontés à des séries de questions juridiques et éthiques auxquelles ils ne savent pas toujours répondre.

Réévaluer la gouvernance de l'internet. Éthique et politique dans les réseaux d'hommes et d'objets

Journée d'étude Vox Internet II

Réunion d'ICANN à Paris, lancement des Assises du numérique, l'internet et sa gouvernance sont fin juin sous les feux de l'actualité . Mais malgré le SMSI, l'objectif d'une gouvernance "transparente, multilatérale et démocratique" est confronté au statu quo. Le projet de recherche Vox Internet voudrait proposer un autre cadre d'analyse que la gouvernance procédurale pour aborder les promesses et limites de la participation de la société civile et celles de l'internet du futur. Une journée d'étude publique, organisée autour de quatre communications innovantes, vise à ouvrir des pistes pour la recherche et le débat.
