During FoTRRIS, a series of workshops was organised and a competence cell was established to support the co-created RRI process. The document presents the inputs to and outputs resulting from these workshops prepared by the competence cell members.

The previous profound socio-economic transformation was connected to the Industrial Revolution that created industrial-urban societies. The first Industrial Revolution was localized as the most eloquent example in England 1750-1850, overarching only a century and followed by further waves of industrial revolutions stretching the new socio-economic system toward a globalized order. There is no doubt that the changes of the 21st century are unprecedented and far-reaching. The considerations about which changes exactly are transforming our global realities are manifold but can be grouped at least into two main strands: those concerned about the transformation of socio-economic systems to preserve and to redefine ecological systems and those that focus on the impact of the digital or platform economy reformulating fundamental instit...

Innovation, that takes place in the symbolic sphere, is at first place being examined on product-development and design level, while the complexity of the meanings of symbolic goods can be managed has gained less focus. Examples from the market of symbolic goods of contemporary dance and theatre production serves this purpose for being exposed to innovation-pressure, and focusing on symbolic value over economic. Moreover, ‘independent companies’ show a variety of organizational arrangements and strategies of innovation on the same market.

Economic activities are viewed using a micro-habitual approach according to which our casual habits and everyday actions are embodied in monetary transactions which reflect power relations and social structures. The earnings and expenditure of a loving couple or the resources that a household allocates to a child, etc., represent economic dilemmas which involve our most intimate ties as parents, children, partners and lovers.

Nonetheless the narrative of innovation and creativeness being attached to these spaces, the shades, openness or even absence of innovation is of a scholarly quest. Moreover, their function of enabling designers-entrepreneurs with infrastructure, collaborative practices and expertise is at the forefront. This paper looks at the composition of hybrid business models behind the activity of a set of shared machine shops: a fablab, a makerspace, a hackerspace, and printervendor company and how it may be linked to the education and innovation practices performed by the members and visitors. In search for if and how they represent dots of change on the landscape of design, this paper examines the facilities and opportunities for young designers, students, and makers to engage with digital technologies in Budapest, in a context where public schools and universities lack the access to fablabs and maker laboratories.

The sections of the conference tackled this kaleidoscope of themes that has evolved around tradition, innovation and reform, with roots in both academia and policy-making connected to entrepreneurship, governance, economic and social structure, the labor market and human capital.

Some historical factors of the emergence of Russian-speaking communities in these countries, the current state, popula-tion dynamics and demographic structure are considered. It is noted that in the last decade, both in Austria and Hungary, the interest of Russians as countries of potential emigration has been growing. High standards of quality of life, a stable economy, a favorable climate, and a rich cultural heritage make Austria very attractive to Russians. The relative low cost of living, mild climate, inexpensive real estate and the possibility of registering it as property contribute to the growth of Russian interest in Hungary. The main channels for increasing the number of Russian-speaking communities at present can be considered marriage migration, family reunification, and educational migration. The gende...

This paper is about justifying those claims as essential truths by drawing modern parallels and also intends to generate a discussion on the form of the family and societal organisation which would support human flourishing, regardless of gender by formulating a new, post-COVID gender order.

The latter helps examine how projects inherently frame the social domain beyond ranking techniques, and measures their potential for social value creation from a structural perspective, relying on Coleman’s Boat and the model of levels of agency. Based on a mixed method of multi-stage coding, content analysis, and scaling, the model was tested on an 8-year sample. Plotted over time, digital solutions show increasing potential for creating significant social value, especially related to AI and big data.

What makes the heated debate around creativity and the contribution of Richard Florida's work particularly valuable is that it fosters an interdisciplinary discussion about the role of creativity, culture, talent, and diversity in urban and regional development. Despite the vividness and edginess of these debates at times, it seems that the related criticisms, based on a body of evidence, did not originally penetrate policymaker discourse, and only one-and-ahalf decades later were embraced when problems stemming from socioeconomic crises and the flaws of creative policymaking reared their head more explicitly. Florida's revelations, which were elevated into the popular arena of city-level policies and governance, did not contain much that was new. This paper tracks how the concept of the "creative class" has been tested, argued about, rejected and applied since then on a wide set of practices and experiences in the urban and regional framework.

Innovation literature has gone a long way, where open innovation has attracted researchers to investigate problems like compatibilities of external resources, networks of innovation, or open source collaboration. Openness itself has gained various shades in the different strands of literature. In this paper the author provides with an overview and a draft evaluation of the different models of open innovation, illustrated with some empirical findings from various fields drawn from the literature. She points to the relevance of transaction costs affecting viable forms of (open) innovation strategies of firms, and the importance to define the locus of innovation for further analyses of different firm and interaction ...

In this paper I examine the implications of adapting an open innovation frame to a field in which it has not been investigated before: the performing arts (contemporary dance and theatre). I draw on case studies and demonstrate that open innovation strategies are viable for use in artistic production. Independent companies purposefully mine external knowledge in production and commercialize on the spillovers of their body of knowledge, putting themselves in the category of firms who are adopting and adapting to open innovation.

Educational institutions from kindergartens to universities were forced to adapt rapidly to this new situation, when the space of education moved from classrooms to online video meetings; the regular methods and tools needed to be changed or modified. Nonetheless, we should keep in mind that online education itself was an already existing concept before the pandemic as part of digitalization as a current societal megatrend, however it was not widely used in educational institutions across different programs. By 2021, there are university students who have mostly or exclusively participated in higher education online. Online classes could be a new normal situation to these students instead of the pre-pandemic personal activities in physical classrooms, leading to altering the norms of participation. In our research, we collected answers to open-ended sentences from such ...

Design/methodology/approach This study is based on a collaborative autoethnography by a group of seven higher educators with an overall 2,134 student encounters during the study’s time span. The authors then connect these practitioner observations with relevant COVID-19-related studies thereby adding to research on higher education as a workplace. Findings The data suggest that the physical workplace strongly bolsters the personal experience and effectiveness of higher education through contributing to its dynamics. Spaces predetermine the scope and levels of human interaction of teaching and learning. In a physical setting, all senses serve as mediators, whereas, online, only two senses are involved: vision and hearing. ...

Historically, during times of crisis or huge systematic change, women have served as shock absorbers. Shock absorption of systemic change by women, as well as that of our planet’s natural resources, is not a new phenomenon, and this dynamic persisted even during state socialism; however, in the current institutional setups, there seems to be no logical solution because of the orientation around marketization and externalization by central actors. Currently, during a time of great precarity in our “digital revolution,” old institutions are still counting on women, the planet, and other vulnerable groups to support this transformation, with no clear protection of “whole personhood.” Whole Person Promotion, Women, and the Post-Pandemic Era: Impact and Future Outlooks provides the latest empirical research findings in the post-pandemic era with the household as the central unit of analysis. It improves understanding of how old institutions persist and are even reinforced during times of crisis as well as generates a discussion about to what extent there is variation in experiences, how satisfied we are with these dynamics, and what internal and external interactions we can attribute to the world that we envision. Covering topics such as individual wellbeing, platform capitalism, and gender inequality, this premier reference source is a dynamic resource for lawyers, policymakers, government officials, politicians, business leaders, managers, economists, non-profit organizations, libraries, students and faculty of higher education, sociologists, anthropologists, researchers, and academicians. Coverage: The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to: Automation COVID-19 Pandemic Crisis and Violence Gender Inequality Gender Violence Impacts of Music-Making Individual Wellbeing Need Fulfillment Pandemic Impact and Challenges Platform Capitalism

(KISMIF) DIY Cultures, Spaces and Places” was help in Porto, Portugal, between 18th July and 21st July 2016. This edition was once again focused on underground music, but directing its attention this time towards the analysis of DIY cultures’ relationship to space and places. Thus, we challenged students, junior and senior teachers/researchers, as well as artists and activists, to come to the KISMIF International Conference and present works which explore the potential of the theoretical and analytical development of the intersection of music scenes, DIY culture and space under a multidimensional and multifaceted vision. Our intention was to enrich the underground scenes and DIY cultures analysis by producing innovative social theory on various spheres and levels, as well as focusing on the role of DIY culture in late modernity. Indeed, the role of music and DIY cultures is once more an important question — taking place in a world of piecemealed yet ever-present change. The space, spaces, places, borders, zones of DIY music scenes are critical variables in approaching contemporary cultures, their sounds, their practices (artistic, cultural, economic and social), their actors and their contexts. From a postcolonial and glocalized perspective, it is important to consider the changes in artistic and musical practices with an underground and/or oppositional nature in order to draw symbolic boundaries between their operating modalities and those of advanced capitalism. Territorialization and deterritorialization are indelible marks of the artistic and musical scenes in the present; they are related to immediate cosmopolitanisms, to conflicting diasporas, new power relations, gender and ethnicity.

A színesfotó lehetőségeinek korlátai kitágulnak az alkotók által: a kísérletezés eleinte az alkotás valósága a hibátlan tökéletesség elérésében, majd választott esztétikai programmá válik. Fotó: Kiss Imre: Faludi Julianna a Három szín kiállításunk megnyitóján, Mai Manó Ház, 2019. augusztus Különleges, a művészet mechanikus reprodukciója előtti szűzies korszakába repít vissza a kiállítás. Abba a néhány évtizedbe, amikor a fotográfia egyszerre látvány, technikai csoda, tudományos eszköz, egyszeri és szinte megismételhetetlen élmény. A színes fotográfiák performatív vetítései egyszerre jelentenek beavatást az új technikai vívmányokba, és a határtalan birodalom földrajzi színfalai mögé. Szűzies, mert az Orosz Birodalom utolsó, pompázatos és egyben polarizált, elszegényedett, és az állami központosított kapitalizálódáson keresztül elindított modernizációjának időszakában vagyunk. Szűzies, mert a fotográfia még nem a propaganda eszköze, mint a húszas, harmincas évek Szovjetuniójában, vagy a hitleri Németországban, amiről Benjamin Walter ír. Mit jelent a cári Orosz Birodalom ekkor, mitől sajátos a véghez vitt és kudarcot vallott modernizáció? Mi a fotográfia szerepe?

Innovation, that takes place in the symbolic sphere, is at first place being examined on product-development and design level, while the complexity of the meanings of symbolic goods can be managed has gained less focus. Examples from the market of symbolic goods of contemporary dance and theatre production serves this purpose for being exposed to innovation-pressure, and focusing on symbolic value over economic. Moreover, ‘independent companies’ show a variety of organizational arrangements and strategies of innovation on the same market.
