项目摘要

The Centre for Digital Citizens (CDC) will address emerging challenges of digital citizenship, taking an inclusive, participatory approach to the design and evaluation of new technologies and services that support 'smart', 'data-rich' living in urban, rural and coastal communities. Core to the Centre's work will be the incubation of sustainable 'Digital Social Innovations' (DSI) that will ensure digital technologies support diverse end-user communities and will have long-lasting social value and impact beyond the life of the Centre. Our technological innovations will be co-created between academic, industrial, public and third sector partners, with citizens supporting co-creation and delivery of research. Through these activities, CDC will incubate user-led social innovation and sustainable impact for the Digital Economy (DE), at scale, in ways that have previously been difficult to achieve.The CDC will build on a substantial joint legacy and critical mass of DE funded research between Newcastle and Northumbria universities, developing the trajectory of work demonstrated in our highly successful Social Inclusion for the Digital Economy (SIDE) hub, our Digital Civics Centre for Doctoral Training and our Digital Economy Research Centre (DERC). The CDC is a response to recent research that has challenged simplified notions of the smart urban environment and its inhabitants, and highlighted the risks of emerging algorithmic and automated futures. The Centre will leverage our pioneering participatory design and co-creative research, our expertise in digital participatory platforms and data-driven technologies, to deliver new kinds of innovation for the DE, that empowers citizens.The CDC will focus on four critical Citizen Challenge areas arising from our prior work: 'The Well Citizen' addresses how use of shared personal data, and publicly available large-scale data, can inform citizens' self-awareness of personal health and wellbeing, of health inequalities, and of broader environmental and community wellbeing; 'The Safe Citizen' critically examines online and offline safety, including issues around algorithmic social justice and the role of new data technologies in supporting fair, secure and equitable societies;'The Connected Citizen' explores next-generation citizen-led digital public services, which can support and sustain civic engagement and action in communities, and engagement in wider socio-political issues through new sustainable (openly managed) digital platforms; and 'The Ageless Citizen' investigates opportunities for technology-enhanced lifelong learning and opportunities for intergenerational engagement and technologies to support growth across an entire lifecourse. CDC pilot projects will be spread across the urban, rural and costal geography of the North East of England, embedded in communities with diverse socio-economic profiles and needs.Driving our programme to address these challenges is our 'Engaged Citizen Commissioning Framework'. This framework will support citizens' active engagement in the co-creation of research and critical inquiry. The framework will use design-led 'initiation mechanisms' (e.g. participatory design workshops, hackathons, community events, citizen labs, open innovation and co-production platform experiments) to support the co-creation of research activities. Our 'Innovation Fellows' (postdoctoral researchers) will engage in a 24-month social innovation programme within the CDC. They will pilot DSI projects as part of highly interdisciplinary, multi-stakeholder teams, including academics and end-users (e.g. Community Groups, NGO's, Charities, Government, and Industry partners). The outcome of these pilots will be the development of further collaborative bids (Research Council / Innovate UK / Charity / Industry funded), venture capital pitches, spin-outs and/or social enterprises. In this way the Centre will act as a catalyst for future innovation-focused DE activity.

数字公民中心（CDC）将应对数字公民的新挑战，采取包容性，参与性的方法来设计和评估支持城市，农村和沿海社区“智能”，“数据丰富”生活的新技术和服务。该中心的核心工作将是孵化可持续的“数字社会创新”（DSI），这将确保数字技术支持不同的最终用户社区，并将在中心的生命周期之外产生持久的社会价值和影响。我们的技术创新将在学术，工业，公共和第三部门合作伙伴之间共同创造，公民支持共同创造和研究交付。通过这些活动，CDC将孵化用户主导的社会创新和可持续的影响，为数字经济（DE），在规模，在以前很难实现的方式。CDC将建立在大量的联合遗产和临界质量的DE资助的研究之间的纽卡斯尔和诺森比亚大学，发展的工作轨迹展示在我们非常成功的数字经济社会包容（SIDE）枢纽，我们的数字公民博士培训中心和我们的数字经济研究中心（DERC）。CDC是对最近研究的回应，这些研究挑战了智能城市环境及其居民的简化概念，并强调了新兴算法和自动化未来的风险。该中心将利用我们开创性的参与式设计和共同创造性研究，我们在数字参与平台和数据驱动技术方面的专业知识，为DE提供新的创新，赋予公民权力。CDC将专注于我们先前工作中产生的四个关键公民挑战领域：“健康公民”解决了如何使用共享的个人数据和公开的大规模数据，可以告知公民的自我意识的个人健康和福祉，健康不平等，《安全公民》批判性地审视了在线和离线安全，包括算法社会正义问题以及新数据技术在支持公平、安全和公正社会中的作用;“互联公民”探索下一代公民主导的数字公共服务，可以支持和维持社区中的公民参与和行动，通过新的可持续（开放管理）数字平台参与更广泛的社会政治问题;“不老公民”调查技术增强终身学习的机会以及代际参与和技术支持整个生命过程增长的机会。CDC试点项目将遍布英格兰东北部的城市，农村和沿海地区，嵌入具有不同社会经济概况和需求的社区。推动我们的计划应对这些挑战的是我们的“公民委托框架”。这一框架将支持公民积极参与研究和批判性探究的共同创造。该框架将使用设计主导的“启动机制”（例如参与式设计研讨会，黑客马拉松，社区活动，公民实验室，开放式创新和合作生产平台实验）来支持研究活动的共同创造。我们的“创新研究员”（博士后研究人员）将在疾病预防控制中心内进行为期24个月的社会创新计划。他们将作为高度跨学科的多方利益相关者团队的一部分，包括学术界和最终用户（例如社区团体，非政府组织，慈善机构，政府和行业合作伙伴），试点DSI项目。这些试点的结果将是进一步合作投标（研究理事会/创新英国/慈善机构/行业资助），风险投资摊位，分拆和/或社会企业的发展。通过这种方式，该中心将成为未来以创新为重点的DE活动的催化剂。
