Sistemic, un projet pour féminiser les métiers scientifiques - Challenges (11/07/2022)
▻https://www.challenges.fr/femmes/sistemic-un-projet-pour-feminiser-les-metiers-scientifiques_819373
EXCLUSIF - Aude de Thuin, Angélique Gérard et Léna Touchard ont décidé de briser le plafond de verre qui décourage les femmes de s’engager dans les sciences, la technologie, l’ingénierie et les mathématiques (Stem). Leur projet se décline en formations, plateforme de recrutement et organisation d’un forum.
« Nous voulons faire en sorte que les femmes participent à la 4ème révolution industrielle ! » Figure emblématique du groupe Free/Iliad, Angélique Gérard connaît bien l’univers de la technologie, dans lequel elle baigne depuis plus de vingt ans. Et c’est elle qu’Aude de Thuin, fondatrice du Women’s Forum for the Economy and Society, a appelée quand elle a eu l’idée de lancer une initiative pour renforcer la présence des femmes dans le monde nouveau qui se construit en grande partie sans elles. « Il n’y a pas assez de femmes dans la tech, elle ont été progressivement exclues d’un secteur où, dans les années 1960-1970, elles avaient leur place », se désole-t-elle.
Les deux femmes, qui appartiennent à deux générations différentes, ont trouvé en Léna Touchard, une X-HEC de 26 ans, le profil idéal pour compléter le trio dont elles rêvaient et lancer leur projet sous le nom de Sistemic, une société à impact doublée d’un fonds de dotation, pour inciter les jeunes femmes à se tourner vers les métiers de l’innovation. Toutes trois partagent la même analyse : il y a urgence à susciter une nouvelle génération de talents féminins en les mobilisant dès le collège, et à les orienter vers les « STEM », acronyme utilisé par les Américains pour désigner les sciences, la technologie, l’ingénierie et les mathématiques.

“The coloniality of asylum. Mobility, autonomy and solidarity in the wake of Europe’s refugee crisis”
Through the main concepts of ‘the coloniality of asylum’ and ‘solidarity as method’, this book links the question of the state to the one of civil society; in so doing, it questions the idea of ‘autonomous politics’, showing how both refugee mobility and solidarity are intimately marked by the coloniality of asylum, in its multiple ramifications of objectification, racialisation and victimisation.
Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Hamburg in the wake of the 2015 ‘long summer of migration’, this book offers a polyphonic account, moving between the standpoints of different subjects and wrestling with questions of protection, freedom, autonomy, solidarity and subjectivity. It shows how ‘Europe’ politically, legally and socially produces ‘refugees’ while, in turn, through their border struggles and autonomous movements, ‘refugees’ produce the space of ‘Europe’.
Author: Fiorenza Picozza (UNAM) is a researcher and activist who has been involved in refugee solidarity for over a decade. She has an interdisciplinary background, holding a PhD in Geography from King’s College London (2019), an MA in Migration and Diaspora Studies from SOAS University of London (2014), and a BA in Philosophy from the University of Rome La Sapienza (2009). Her research interests concern borders, asylum, migration, race, coloniality, humanitarianism, and solidarity. Currently, she is a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Geography of the UNAM in Mexico City, where she is working on a project on asylum, racialisation and humanitarian borders in Mexico.

I CAN’T BREATHE
On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old African-American was killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, during an arrest for allegedly using a counterfeit bill. A white police officer, knelt on Floyd’s neck for several minutes while Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down, calling for his mother and repeatedly saying “please” and "I can’t breathe. Police officers further restrained Floyd, while another officer prevented bystanders from intervening. During the final two minutes, Floyd was motionless and had no pulse while the police officers ignored onlookers’ pleas to remove his knee, which he failed to do until medics told him to. The following day, after videos made by witnesses and security cameras became public, all four officers involved were fired, and charged with murder.

Vendredi soir j’ai participé à un #mapathon , organisé par à #Grenoble dans le cadre de la #Nuit_de_la_géogrpahie :
C’était la première fois que je participais au mapathon, et ça a été très sympa. Beaucoup de jeunes présents dans la salle mise à disposition par l’Institut d’urbanisme et géographie alpine :
C’est l’occasion pour faire un petit peu de pub ici pour CartONG, #association dont le siège est à #Chambéry :
CartONG est une ONG française créée en 2006 par des cartographes souhaitant améliorer la façon dont les organisations humanitaires utilisaient les cartes et les données géographiques. Elle a depuis grandi et propose aux acteurs de l’humanitaire et du développement de nombreux outils innovants de gestion de l’information, de cartographie, d’analyse et de communication.
La géographie ne sauve pas de vies, mais elle peut avoir un impact déterminant quand elle est utilisée à bon escient. L’objectif central de CartONG est donc de soutenir les organisations et les personnes qui sauvent des vies, participent au développement et protègent l’environnement à travers le monde, afin que ceux-ci puissent le faire mieux et à plus grande échelle.
Nous pensons que cela n’est possible qu’en permettant à ces organisations et personnes d’acquérir les compétences et la stratégie adaptés à chaque structure et contexte particulier. C’est pour cela que nos équipes fournissent des conseils, des formations, de l’appui stratégique, et du staff, à la fois au siège et sur le terrain. Nous proposons les outils les plus adaptés grâce à notre veille technologique et contribuons au développement de nouvelles solutions et à la définition de bonnes pratiques. Pour en savoir plus, jetez un oeil à nos projets et services.
Nos experts et nos bénévoles participent à de nombreux secteurs des réponses humanitaires et du développement : par exemple, l’aide aux réfugiés, la logistique, la santé, les catastrophes naturelles et l’environnement. Nous promouvons la gestion de l’information et les SIG comme des outils transversaux pouvant être utilisés dans différents métiers (par exemple, l’analyse des besoins, la planification de projet, ou le suivi/évaluation), mais permettant également de diffuser un esprit innovant et collaboratif au sein des organisations et des communautés que nous soutenons.
Travailler avec les communautés locales et renforcer les compétences du staff local est crucial pour nous, puisque c’est le prérequis pour développer des projets durables et répondant aux besoins des populations que nous aidons. Nous sommes également des partisans actifs du partage de l’information, de l’open data et de la mutualisation des moyens pour améliorer l’efficacité globale et l’impact de l’aide.
CartONG est le coordinateur français du projet international #Missing_Maps :
Remettre les personnes les plus vulnérables de la Terre sur la carte
Chaque année, les catastrophes naturelles tuent près de 100 000 personnes et touchent ou déplacent 200 millions de personnes dans le monde. La plupart des endroits où se produisent ces catastrophes sont littéralement ’absents’ des cartes et les premiers secours manquent d’informations pour prendre les bonnes décisions sur le terrain. Missing Maps est un projet ouvert et collaboratif auquel vous pouvez participer, en cartographiant les zones où les organisations humanitaires essaient de répondre aux besoins des populations touchées.

Thousands sign petition asking Justice Minister to stop deportation of student facing threat of torture
OVER 13,000 PEOPLE have signed an online petition calling for a halt to the deportation of a Dublin City University student facing the threat of torture if he returns home.
Zimbabwean national Shepherd Machaya could be deported within days after his permission to remain in Ireland expired on 21 October.
The former pastor fled his homeland after members of ZANU-PF, the party co-founded by Robert Mugabe, tortured and threatened to kill him in an attempt to force him to join the party.
After he left Zimbabwe, Machaya’s sister told him that one of his best friends died after suffering catastrophic injuries when he was tortured by the party’s members.
Machaya, a second year Management of Information Technology and Information Systems student at DCU, has been living in Direct Provision in Laois for the last nine years.
He completed a Level 5 course in Software Development in Portlaoise College in 2017, before being admitted to DCU under the University of Sanctuary scholarship scheme, which allows refugees to study there.
However, after his bid for asylum failed earlier this year, Machaya was told by the Department of Justice to leave Ireland by 21 October.
“From this moment onwards, he could be deported,” DCU Students’ Union President Vito Moloney Burke tells TheJournal.ie.
“I think we have a few days, but that’s about it.”
Campaigners say that although his family remains in Zimbabwe, Machaya has made friends in Ireland, which he calls his “second home”, and that he has contributed to the country.
Burke added that despite contacting Charlie Flanagan and the Department of Justice on multiple occasions, he has received no response.
“We’ve had growing support on a national level. The most heartening thing is that members of the public are getting involved and signing the petition.
“Hopefully more attention is brought to Shepherd’s case and this is discussed in the Dáil tomorrow.”

#MigrAdvisor
Milano è una città accogliente, ricca di servizi per i suoi cittadini e, tra questi, i migranti. L’#hackathon Services4MIgrants ha come tema l’ideazione di un servizio tecnologico di supporto e orientamento per i migranti presenti in città.
Il Comune di Milano è impegnato, in forme diverse, a fornire ai migranti le informazioni necessarie per garantire un agevole accesso ai servizi; per quelli più complessi ha realizzato delle guide in forma cartacea. Sono proprio le guide, il punto di partenza per la realizzazione del servizio.
La sfida è quella di rendere comprensibili e accessibili - attraverso l’ideazione di nuovi linguaggi, l’uso di dati aperti e le tecnologie informatiche - alcune procedure burocratiche che questi ’nuovi cittadini’ si trovano a dovere affrontare senza il supporto della lingua e della conoscenza delle dinamiche particolari della nostra amministrazione pubblica.
In particolare, il nuovo servizio dovrà garantire una buona comprensione dell’insieme di informazioni e procedure necessarie ai migranti che vogliono intraprendere il percorso di “ricongiungimento familiare” . Questo tema è significativo anche per il numero di domande, circa 6.000 all’anno, presentate nel Comune di Milano. Sarà considerato come fattore aggiuntivo di premialità la possibilità di replicare facilmente la soluzione su altri servizi e procedure dedicate ai migranti.
A partire dalle informazioni predisposte nella Guida per il ricongiungimento familiare e dalle basi di dati utili per affrontare la sfida, il nuovo servizio (che si prevede inizialmente solo in lingua italiana e/o inglese) dovrà adottare e utilizzare un linguaggio di comunicazione e informazione completo, ancorché semplificato , garantendo la maggior parte dei livelli di abilità di lettura.

Synthetic Biology : Learn to Program Life
▻https://www.eventbrite.com/e/synthetic-biology-learn-to-program-life-tickets-32540756278
Le titre d’une telle cnférence est un résumé de la « science des promesses », ou alors d’une vision prométhéenne de la science. L’hubris scientifique dans toute sa splendeur.
Synthetic biology endeavors to program life as we would program computers—only with DNA instead of machine code. For the past 20 years, synthetic biologists have reshaped what living things do by rewriting their DNA. They’ve turned living cells into biosensors, fuel and medicine producers, and far more.
In this workshop, you will learn the fundamentals of synthetic biology in a hands-on way. You’ll learn how Biobricks work, how DNA can be made into a programming language, and engineer bacteria to glow.

CAPS stands for Collective Awareness Platforms for Sustainability and Social Innovation. It is an initiative launched by DG CONNECT of the European Commission in 2013 aimed at stimulating socially innovative applications of network technologies, building collective intelligence and collective action.
This event aims at bringing together old and new CAPS projects, discussing ideas for the next wokprogramme, defining clusters of projects, and ultimately establishing a working community of innovation entities that will actively cooperate with the EC on Digital Social Innovation over the coming years.
The venue is chosen because of the vibrant community of social innovators present in Berlin and the date is just before the European Citizen Science conference, which includes a CAPS panel on the importance of citizen engagement and sustainable development seen from the bottom up perspective of ’awareness, data, actionable change and innovation’.
The community meeting is mainly for the 36 CAPS projects to meet each other and their project officers, but it is also open to any external paticipant interesting in gathering knowledge about the current developments and interacting first-hand the current CAPS activities, from peer to peer.
This is an event organised by the European Commission. Participation is free of monetary charge - but you need to bring ideas.

Mazi Project
▻http://mazizone1.maziproject.eu/about
MAZI means “together” in Greek and the goal of MAZI is to provide technology and knowledge in order to
empower those who are in physical proximity, to shape their hybrid urban space, together, according to the specificities of the respective local environment
generate location-based collective awareness as a basis for fostering social cohesion, conviviality, participation in decision-making processes, self-organisation, knowledge sharing, and sustainable living
facilitate interdisciplinary interactions around the design of hybrid space and the role of ICTs in society.
What is new about MAZI?
MAZI wishes to invest in an alternative technology, what we call Do-It-Yourself networking, a combination of wireless technology, low-cost hardware, and free/libre/open source software (FLOSS) applications, for building local networks, mostly known today as community wireless networks. By making this technology better understood, easily deployed, and configured based on a rich set of customisation options and interdisciplinary knowledge, compiled as a toolkit, MAZI will empower citizens to build their own local networks for facilitating hybrid, virtual and physical, interactions, in ways that are respectful to their rights to privacy, freedom of expression and self-determination.
Moreover, unlike other technology-oriented approaches, MAZI takes the perspective of existing grassroots initiatives, whose goals are social and political in nature, and explores ways that DIY networking technologies can help pursue them, as a means and not as an end.
