I am Ramon Sangüesa<div><br></div><div>My background is very technological (PhD In Artificial Intelligence) but I have been motivated since a long time ago by the interaction between technologies of information and opportunities for change in society. I am currently a professor at the Technical University of Catalunya in Barcelona, but I also have been involved am currently involved in initiatives that promote "the digital". </div>
<div>And by "the digital" I don't mean just the access to or knowledge of digital technologies but a deep understanding of their (to me) peculiar way in which digital technologie ahve created a culture with their own ways of building knowledge. Also new modes of innovation and organization. Or maybe there was another culture that spawned digital technology processes of innovation and organization?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Anyway,there is an fascinanting change going on that revolves around "digital code". I have been working on its influence on citizen participation, learning, and new economic forms. </div><div>
<br></div><div>Initially I collaborated with "knowledge transfer" with a twist with the creation of the i2cat Foundation in Spain (on advanced internet possibilities). Then become one of the founders of Citilab (Citizen's Lab) to bring citizens to the front of digital innovation. Now I am collaborating with CoCreating Cultures which focuses on collaborative ways to create together new learning possibilities around science and the arts (and the mix of the two). And from time to time and create and use some digital technology;-)</div>
