Looks amazing. Also, may we invite you all to participate in the upcoming Meet the editors’ event that we are organizing at VUB? It involves the lead editors of Big Data & Society (Matt Zook and Jennifer Gabrys), who will be on campus on 30 and 31 Jan. to provide feedback on abstract and tips on publishing with this kind of journal (a pretty relevant one for all of us – if I may say so). https://lsts.research.vub.be/workshop-meet-the-editors-big-data-and-society Thank you!

I am looking forward! Those in the to: field signed up through the form, but I think there are likely names missing of who would like to attend. May I encourage those who are missing to complete the Microsoft form<https://forms.office.com/e/BhwSRfRCy9> by Friday 17 January EOB, so I can provide our events team with an accurate number for catering? Many thanks! We will meet in person at Brussels School of Governance, Lisbon Conference Room, Pleinlaan 5, -1.14 — or online (Microsoft Teams<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19:meeting_YjRkYjE1MzUtNTNkNS00Zjk2LTk2M2QtYTNjOTI0ODE0N2Jk@thread.v2/0?context=%7B%22Tid%22:%22695b7ca8-2da8-4545-a2da-42d03784e585%22,%22Oid%22:%229bbf8dfb-b57a-4830-9d58-e4603d62fdf7%22%7D>). I have updated the programme with the (preliminary) titles and names of those who agreed to present. Could I ask to provide your written input by Wednesday 22 January EOB to the group (or only your discussant), so your discussant has time to read through your input in advance? I have assigned the discussants with complementarity in mind (hopefully you agree). Please prepare a presentation of 10-15min and a discussant intervention of 5min, leaving 10min of group discussion. Many thanks!

The intention of the research day is for these teams to get to know each other and have an exchange on work in progress (of various topics, formats, levels of maturity), roughly centred around the broad theme of digital governance and participation. You are welcome to join for the morning, lunch and afternoon, either in person at Brussels School of Governance (Pleinlaan 5) or online (link<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19:meeting_YjRkYjE1MzUtNTNkNS00Zjk2LTk2M2QtYTNjOTI0ODE0N2Jk@thread.v2/0?context=%7B%22Tid%22:%22695b7ca8-2da8-4545-a2da-42d03784e585%22,%22Oid%22:%229bbf8dfb-b57a-4830-9d58-e4603d62fdf7%22%7D>). Both the morning and afternoon sessions will be available in hybrid format. Feel free to share this invitation with others whom you think might be interested, also at ULB! We are looking for volunteers to present their work in progress. This could be a PhD pitch, a postdoc project proposal, a PhD chapter, a research article, a valorisation article, etc. We only request that you would have written input (at least 1p) to present, as we will assign a discussant for your session. All (PhD, postdoc, senior, associate, visiting researchers) are welcome to present. Please sign up for the day (morning, lunch, afternoon) using this Microsoft form<https://forms.office.com/e/BhwSRfRCy9> by Monday January 13, EOB. Happy holidays! Rocco, Ike, Rob and Trisha
