Led by Edgeryders
Donor: European Commission, DG CNECT
Edgeryders succeeded in securing a large EU-funded research project (http://opencare.cc) under the CAPS program. A new call is out as of October 2016, with deadline April 25th 2017. We attempt to leverage Edgeryders’ earlier breakthrough and relative success so far to secure a second project.
CAPS is a DG CNECT programme. Its output is advancement of scientific knowledge and new tech in the area of collective intelligence. With OpenCare, we build software for analysis and synthetic representation of large-scale online conversation. We also promised a how-to for running offline “plugins” to online conversation. The new project should build on that. It could focus on action rather than analysis. That is, how to engender computer-mediated human interaction in such a way that common action results.
EU research projects need consortia. An ideal CAPS consortium has at least one prestigious university, one large-ish private firm, one SME and one or more community partners. Tentatively:
- University of Bordeaux, FR (Guy Melançon), coordinator.
- Edgeryders II, EE
- Las Indias, ES,
- Dataskydd.net (SWE)?
- CERN (CH?)
- ?
Role of Edgeryders: scientific co-leadership. Adoption of the tech produced. Community partner.
Role of Las Indias: Adoption of the tech produced. Community partner. Others?
