    A European Perspective on Crisis Informatics: Citizens’ and Authorities’ Attitudes Towards Social Media for Public Safety and Security
    (2022) Reuter, Christian
    Mobilising helpers in the event of a flood or letting friends know that you are okay in the event of a terrorist attack – more and more people are using social media in emergency, crisis or disaster situations. Storms, floods, attacks or pandemics (esp. COVID-19) show that citizens use social media to inform themselves or to coordinate. This book presents qualitative and quantitative studies on the attitudes of emergency services and citizens in Europe towards social media in emergencies. Across the individual sub-studies, almost 10,000 people are surveyed including representative studies in the Netherlands, Germany, the UK and Italy. The work empirically shows that social media is increasingly important for emergency services, both for prevention and during crises; that private use of social media is a driving force in shaping opinions for organisational use; and that citizens have high expectations towards authorities, especially monitoring social media is expected, and sometimes responses within one hour. Depending on the risk culture, the data show further differences, e.g. whether the state (Germany) or the individual (Netherlands) is seen as primarily responsible for coping with the situation.

    GRANITE – EJEA: Europe meets Japan: Intercultural Workshop on Data Sovereignty and Generative AI. Applications, Design, Social, Ethical, and Technological Impact
    (INFORMATIK 2024, 2024) Reiners, René; Ganter-Richter, Sabine
    The workshop's primary goal is to bring together experts from academia and industry to discuss and develop new collaborative efforts with regard to the topics data sovereignty and generative AI. It serves as a platform to exchange knowledge, identify common challenges, and explore innovative solutions for Europe and Japan. The workshop is commonly organized by the GRANITE Network and the European-Japanese Experts Association (EJEA). GRANITE focuses on fostering global cooperation by creating a network of ambassadors in various fields of science and technology, whereas EJEA is dedicated to enhancing cooperation between Europe and Japan through various activities, including conferences, workshops, and research projects. On the European side, Fraunhofer FIT and the Network for Science play pivotal roles in driving the initiatives for both, GRANITE and EJEA. From Japan, the prefectures of Nagano and Kagawa are instrumental in facilitating the collaboration.
