🌟 Last week, I had the honor of receiving the first Unite! Award from Unite! President Tanja Brühl, during the X Unite! Dialogue in #Darmstadt. I would like to thank Unite! - University Network for Innovation, Technology and Engineering for this recognition, and extend my heartfelt gratitude to Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the enhancement of research, innovation, and education across Europe. A special thanks to my incredible team for their enthusiasm in addressing the needs of those eager to innovate. As Tanja said during the ceremony: "Jesus played a key role in the design, conceptualisation, and creation of shared digital infrastructure, including the Metacampus and Agora, and they are crucial for enabling many activities within Unite!. His user-focused approach was most helpful to prioritise action, but most of all, his ability and his passion for fostering true teamwork turns vision into practical reality and transforms the European Universities initiative from an idea to complete action." As someone who typically works behind the scenes, this award allows me to spotlight the #Agoras we're developing for university alliances under the aUPaEU project. I firmly believe these #Agoras hold great potential to foster research collaboration, especially among higher education institutions (HEIs). They are particularly valuable in regions needing rapid digital transformation, where collaboration can drive innovation more effectively. My experience shows that this tool is already proving useful for institutions aiming to enhance their research and innovation efforts. The journey ahead won’t be easy—we will encounter challenges along the way—but I am confident we will achieve our goals. This award reassures us that we are on the right path. Thank you all for your support! #Letsunite #UniteDialogue #EuropeanUniversities #ResearchInnovation #HigherEducation #DigitalTransformation #UniversityAlliances #aUPaEU #Agoras #Innovation #Collaboration #Education #HEIs #EuropeanResearch

Conferences like 🇪🇺 EuroScience Open Forum 2024 are different in nature from other 'marketing' events. It is a meeting of people who want to talk about positive change, to exchange views, to transform for the dignity of humanity both thanks to European Commission and in global partnerships. I really appreciate that the theme "Life changing science" was the theme of ESOF 2024. Above all, this whole theme vibrates with the vision I share with women4steam 👩🔬👩🎨👩🚀 art, science & diversity - RoboKoba and SensiVR Health 🟣🟠 💡 energy transformation, 🌱 sustainable environment, 🎭 cultural identity and social transformation, 🔬 changes within scientific excellence, 💉 healthy society, 🤖 digital transformation. The event captivated me with its unique atmosphere. The spirit that accompanied me while listening to the speakers and attending the event can be described as the need to build trust at different levels of sophistication, #intergenerational and #interdisciplinary. Below you can watch a video that shows the essence of my perception of this as a human being. Cross-border beyond transcendence, everyone could have been somewhere else. But something made such a huge diversity of two cultures at the intersection of the humanities and social sciences and the scientific revolution meet up with the life sciences and decide to start ACTION. 🔽 🎞 https://lnkd.in/epX6dCPB It is a good time for a new LEADERSHIP 🤝 paradigm #ESOF2024 #EU #ThirdCulture #EuropejskieMiastoNauki

Proud to have won S+t+Arts Prize Africa Award of distinction from @arselectronica with artist and collaborator Ama BE ! Nana Ama Bentsi-Enchill The work reimagines the relationship between embodiment and datafication to challenge data colonialism and exploitative relationships between data and the self. The performance art and digital architecture is iterative and we hope to continue to evolve and gain support for the work. The next iteration will feature avatars as mediums of ritual and embodiment, pushing for representational and epistemological justice in AI systems. “Black Body Radiation: Rescripting Data Bodies is a collaborative art project by Ameera Kawash and Ama BE. The series consists of propositional performances that explore tobacco—materially, ritually, and as a form of value. The project incorporates body sensor networks and blockchain architectures to generate and rescript data bodies as agential forces emerging from the physical expressions of the performance, such as choreography, gesture, and repeated movements. During these performances, Ama BE wears three body sensors that track her heart rate, body temperature, and blood oxygen levels. This data is then uploaded to a server, where it interacts with algorithmic processing and blockchain architectures. Ameera Kawash, collaborating with Ama BE, designed this backend to produce digital intimate assets and reconfigure the data layer to explore new possibilities for choreography, documentation, and funding for live performance artworks”
