SUMMARY:Are we ready for IT? Exploring Societal Readiness for PPDR Innovation 30th June 2020
DESCRIPTION:Is Society Ready for IT? Or is IT Ready for Society? \nExploring Societal Readiness for PPDR Innovation\n30th June 2020, PSCE Conference\nPreliminary Call for Participation (more detail soon here)\nPublic Protection and Disaster Response (PPDR) is changing radically. Three trends are coming together to drive this. Firstly, PPDR practitioners are faced with more frequent and more intense disasters as we enter an era of climate crises. Secondly, a new generation of emergency service professionals is entering the workplaces, and they bring high skills and high expectations for digital augmentation. Thirdly, innovation in digital technologies from Artificial Intelligence to the Internet of Public Safety Things, automation and robotics, and mobile broadband networking is gathering pace. However, as Prefet Guillaume Lambert, Head of the French Public Safety Broadband Network Programme at the French Interior Ministry observed at the last PSCE Conference in Paris, while the technologies might be ready, the public is not ready for these innovations. We need to convince them. This workshop explores questions of, and approaches to, ‘societal readiness’.\nWe are developing a critical approach to the concept of ‘Societal Readiness Levels’, acknowledging that ‘convincing the public’ demands sound arguments. Rather than seeing ‘societal readiness’ as a matter of society getting ready to ‘take’ innovations, we are asking what design can do to meet the requirements of society. How ready are our technologies for society? To what extent do they support social and material practices, complex socio-technical systems with histories, cultures, and path dependencies, societal values and civil liberties? How high do our innovations (in technologies, policies, organisational structures, emergency plans and planning processes) score on a scale of ‘Societal readiness Levels’ (SRL)? And what can be done to raise their SRL? This is both a substantive and a methodological question, because designing for society translates into a need for designing with society. As a result, this workshop also asks how we can develop better methods for engaging citizens in innovation in PPDR.\n \nTopics to be discussed at the workshop include (but are not limited to):\n\nStudies of change in PPDR, e.g. towards net-centric approaches, with a focus on citizens and publics\nExperiences from and studies of implementations of innovations focused on public perceptions and public engagement\nMethodologies for co-design in PPDR that engage citizens\nStudies of public perceptions of PPDR innovation, including NGO, such as civil liberty groups\n\n \nWe welcome contributions from NGO and civil liberty groups, community groups and citizens, academics, practitioners, SME and industry, policy-makers, government authorities. Please submit an abstract of your presentation (or demonstration of prototype ‘solutions’) (1000 words max) to secretariat@psc-europe.eu ( mailto:secretariat@psc-europe.eu )\nDeadline for submissions:                                                                     20th April 2020\nNotification of Acceptance:                                                                    4th May 2020\n \nEarly Bird Workshop Registration Fee (ends 13th April 2020):       TBC\nWorkshop Registration Fee after 13th April 2020                         £200\nFull PSCE Conference Registration fee (Workshop included):       TBC\n \nThe workshop will combine practitioner, researcher, and industry presentations with ‘unconferencing’ creative interaction formats and prepare an instant journal for the PSCE Conference delegates.\nIf you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us secretariat@psc-europe.eu ( mailto:secretariat@psc-europe.eu )\nImage Source: “5G Security” by jyrki huusko is licensed under CC BY 2.0 \n
