Octree news · winter 2022
Farewell 2021, grüezi 2022!
We wish you a year of solidarity, creativity and new experiences. Until we meet again, here's a round-up of our activities:
Civic Tech seminars.
Enabled by Design supported by Canton of Vaud.
Emotion in technology.
Civic tech in transition seminars
Citizen participation technologies have the potential to lead the ecological transition. But how can they be put into practice? What solutions exist? What is the panorama in Switzerland?
Genève en transition is organizing 3 meetings with Swiss players to initiate a federative approach to these questions.
You are invited to participate ;)
Vaud supports the Enabled by Design platform
2 years ago, we had the pleasure of putting Enabled by Design online: a joint platform project between EPFL and ECAL.
Last autumn, the State of Vaud announced its support for the platform for the next 3 years, in order to accelerate collaborations between designers and entrepreneurs. Things will be moving in 2022!
Emotion in technology
Octree is made up (for now) of men who work in technology, and yet we talk seriously about emotions. The reason is that we aspire to a society driven by humans and useful technology.
Pssst... our Github is on the move.
The whole team is looking forward to the rich exchanges and shared moments that the coming months have in store for us.
