SUMMARY:Een avond over AI en verkiezingen - Wat kun je vertrouwen?
DESCRIPTION:Sociaal AI Lab Rotterdam\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGebruik jij wel eens een chatbot om informatie te zoeken? Bijvoorbeeld over verkiezingen of politieke partijen? Dat is snel en handig. Maar hoe weet je of de antwoorden kloppen? Helpt AI je om een eigen keuze te maken\, of stuurt het je soms zonder dat je het merkt? \n\n\n\nGraag nodigen we je uit voor een bijzondere avond in het Sociaal AI Lab Rotterdam. Tijdens deze bijeenkomst ontdek je wat AI wel en niet kan\, waar je op moet letten en hoe je het slim kunt gebruiken richting de verkiezingen. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n    Datum\n    Maandag\, 9 maart 2026\n  \n  \n\n  \n  \n    Tijd\n    18:45-20:00\n  \n  \n\n  \n  \n    Locatie\n    \nSociaal AI Lab Rotterdam\nDe Hillevliet\, Hillevliet 90\, 3074 KD Rotterdam (ruimte 0.25)\n\n  \n  \n\n\n  \n    Aanmelden\n    \nHier aanmelden\n  \n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWat kun je verwachten? \n\n\n\n– Uitleg over hoe AI invloed kan hebben op de verkiezingen– Gesprek: helpt een chatbot je om een eigen mening te vormen?– Tips om chatbots kritisch en slim te gebruiken– Verhalen van AI-experts uit Rotterdam– Ruimte om vragen te stellen en mee te praten \n\n\n\nSprekers \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n    Nadeche Orie (Omroep Rijnmond)\n    Vertelt over R-motie: een chatbot die werd gebruikt bij de Tweede Kamerverkiezingen van 2025. Deze chatbot wordt nu verder ontwikkeld voor de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen. Het helpt mensen om meer te leren over verkiezingsprogramma’s zonder een mening te vormen. Maar lukt het ook echt om betrouwbaar te blijven?\n  \n  \n\n  \n    Maaike Harbers (Hogeschool Rotterdam) \n    \n      Doet al jaren onderzoek naar AI en is betrokken bij het Sociaal AI Lab Rotterdam. Ze legt uit waar je op moet letten bij AI en hoe je chatbots betrouwbaar en eerlijk gebruikt. \n      \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBen je benieuwd hoe betrouwbaar AI is en hoe je het goed kunt gebruiken voor de verkiezingen?

SUMMARY:Future Society Lab Meet-up
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to a New Reality \n\n\n\nThe reality in which we thought that systems protect us\, that security is a given\, and that crises are exceptions\, increasingly seems like a thing of the past. \n\n\n\nWhat will take its place is still diffuse. But one thing is clear: ‘resilience’ is no longer an abstract concept. It is something we must better understand and grasp\, but above all\, something we must put into practice. \n\n\n\n\nDuring the Future Society Lab meetup on March 19\, we will explore what societal resilience and robustness mean in an era where technology is accelerating\, uncertainty is becoming structural\, and our choices are increasingly made under pressure. \n\n\n\n\nWe’re keeping the exact details of what we’re going to do to ourselves for a moment. What we can say: this will be an afternoon that will change the way you look at technology\, systems\, and your own role under pressure. \n\n\n\nP.S. The program was developed in collaboration with Maurice de Beer\, who\, on behalf of the Rotterdam-Rijnmond Safety Region\, works daily at the intersection of technology and disaster\, risk\, and crisis management. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n    Date and Time\n    Thursday 19 March 2026\, 14:00 – 17:00 + drinks afterwards\n  \n  \n\n  \n  \n    Location\n    Erasmus Center for Data Analytics | Polak Building (1st floor) | Burg. Oudlaan 50 | Rotterdam

SUMMARY:AI@EUR Kick-Off
DESCRIPTION:AI@EUR is proud to mark its public kick-off as Erasmus University Rotterdam’s programme for developing a responsible and impactful approach to AI.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nOver the past months\, while bringing our organisation together behind the scenes\, we have been laying the foundations for how we can equip\, engage\, and evolve with AI: launching pilot projects in education and research\, experimenting with AI tools in support services\, and strategically developing a vision for AI within our university. These initiatives are not isolated experiments\, but stepping stones towards a coherent\, university-wide approach to the responsible use of AI.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n    Date and Time\n    Thursday 16 April 2026\, 15:30 – 17:30\n  \n  \n\n  \n  \n    Location\n    Forumzaal (M3-15)\, Van der Goot Building\, Campus Woudestein\, Erasmus University Rotterdam\n  \n  \n\n  \n  \n    Event language\n    \nEnglish\n\n  \n  \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAI@EUR will support Erasmus University Rotterdam by connecting\, coordinating\, and strengthening AI efforts in research\, education\, operations\, and engagement. At the same time\, we will help ensure that we recognise and respond appropriately to the critical concerns AI raises\, from sustainability\, ethics\, knowledge production\, skills development\, inclusion\, and bias. This event marks the moment where these efforts come together and we look ahead\, together\, to what AI can mean for Erasmus University Rotterdam and our impact on society. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nExplore how to use AI in your work and studies—join the official kick-off by Rector Magnificus Prof. dr. ir. Jantine Schuit and discover what AI@EUR means for you! \n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Smart & Social Fest
DESCRIPTION:Kunstmatige intelligentie (AI) beïnvloedt hoe we samenleven\, leren én werken. Krantenkoppen speculeren over beroepen die verdwijnen en jongeren vragen zich af of hun studie wel toekomst heeft. Tegelijk zoeken organisaties naar manieren om de kansen van AI te benutten zonder de menselijke maat te verliezen\, terwijl overheden zich buigen over hoe AI verantwoord kan worden ontworpen en ingezet\, met transparante besluitvorming\, expliciet eigenaarschap en goed ingerichte governance als basis voor vertrouwen. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n    Datum\n    Friday 23 April 2026\, 9:00 – 17:30\n  \n  \n\n  \n  \n    Locatie\n    Keilepand\, Rotterdam\n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSamen bouwen aan een verantwoorde toekomst met AI \n\n\n\nOntmoet onderzoekers\, onderwijsprofessionals\, werkgevers\, beleidsmakers\, studenten en innovators. Laat je inspireren door keynote sprekers\, haal inzichten uit praktijkvoorbeelden en ga zelf aan de slag in één van de vele interactieve sessies. \n\n\n\n\nAanmelden\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWij zijn betrokken bij de volgende break-out sessies:\n\n\n\nAimaginaries \n\n\n\nHoe ziet de toekomst van AI eruit als jij hem zelf mag bedenken? In deze workshop creëren we nieuwe toekomstscenario’s die uitnodigen om na te denken over welke rol AI écht zou moeten spelen. Samen reflecteren we kritisch op onze collectieve verbeelding van AI. We breken deze verbeelding open door zelf\, met gebruik van generatieve AI\, alternatieve toekomstscenario’s te maken. \n\n\n\nDoor: Jannes ten Berge (Sociaal AI Lab Rotterdam)  \n\n\n\nDigitale soevereiniteit: ambitie vs. realiteit \n\n\n\nDigitale soevereiniteit staat hoog op de agenda\, maar de praktijk is weerbarstig. Minder afhankelijk worden van grote technologiebedrijven vraagt om investeringen\, samenwerking en lastige keuzes. \n\n\n\nIn dit panelgesprek verkennen Hogeschool Rotterdam\, Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam\, Gemeente Rotterdam en Provincie Zuid-Holland hoe zij hiermee omgaan. Welke afwegingen spelen een rol? Welke uitdagingen ligger er? En waar liggen kansen om regionaal samen te werken aan meer digitale autonomie? \n\n\n\nDoor: Provincie Zuid-Holland\, Gemeente Rotterdam\, Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam\, Hogeschool Rotterdam \n\n\n\nPlayground \n\n\n\nAls onderdeel van het Sociaal AI Lab Rotterdam\, zijn wij samen met Techniek College Rotterdam\, Gemeente Rotterdam en Hogeschool Rotterdam ook aanwezig op de playground. \n\n\n\n\nAanmelden

SUMMARY:The Influence of Digitalisation on Work\, Prosperity and Entrepreneurship
DESCRIPTION:Annual SSH-Breed Sectorplan Conference\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuilding on the success of the 1st Annual SSH-Breed Sectorplan Conference ‘The Influence of Digitalisation on Work\, Prosperity and Entrepreneurship’\, we will be hosting the 2nd Annual SSH-Breed Sectorplan Conference in Rotterdam on 24 April 2026 to continue the discussion of the promises\, challenges\, and societal impact of digitalisation. This year’s programme will be dedicated to three key themes in the field of digitalisation: Education\, Work and Automation.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n    Date and Time\n    Friday 24 April 2026\, 9:00 – 17:00\n  \n  \n\n  \n  \n    Location\n    Forumzaal (M3-15)\, Van der Goot Building\, Campus Woudestein\, Erasmus University Rotterdam\n  \n  \n\n  \n  \n    Event type\n    \nConference\, no admission fee\, in English\, pre-registration mandatory\n\n  \n  \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe conference is not limited to members of SSH-Breed\, but open to all who are interested. There is no admission fee\, but preregistration is mandatory.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nBrochure-SSH-Breed-conference-page2\n\n\n \n\n\n\nEducation \n\n\n\nDigitalisation is changing how people learn in schools\, universities and beyond. New tools\, such as adaptive learning platforms\, help to widen access to education and improve the learning experience. At the same time\, questions arise about whether digitalisation generates a new divide of education\, how data are collected and used\, and how AI-enabled tools might reinforce existing biases.  \n\n\n\nDigital technologies are also reshaping the interaction in the classroom and the assessment of academic performance in ways that we do not yet fully understand. It is therefore important to discuss how digital literacy can be implemented and strengthened in our society. This panel looks at how education systems can make good use of digital technologies while still protecting equity\, inclusion and educational quality. \n\n\n\nWork \n\n\n\nDigitalisation is reshaping how work is organised in our society. New technologies empower individuals with more flexibility in their working lives\, enabling them to work from various locations and taking part in platform-based work. However\, new technologies and recent development also bring risks. For instance\, algorithmic management systems can increase efficiency\, but they also raise concerns about surveillance\, fairness\, and privacy at work. This panel delves into how employers\, workers\, and policy makers can respond to these changes and support sustainable and fair working conditions. \n\n\n\nAutomation \n\n\n\nAutomation can take over dangerous\, repetitive\, or complex tasks and free people to focus on other kinds of work. It can also improve accuracy\, reduce accidents\, and increase productivity in many sectors\, from manufacturing and logistics to healthcare and public services. Meanwhile\, automation raises challenging questions\, ranging from human autonomy to accountability. Automation makes some jobs disappear\, while the arising benefits of automation are not always fairly allocated. This panel explores how automation can be used in ways that benefit society\, while also addressing its disruptive effects and the need for clear rules and public oversight. \n\n\n\nResponsible Digitalisation with sleeves rolled up \n\n\n\nIn April\, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and Erasmus University Rotterdam are joining forces around the theme of responsible digitalisation: digital technology that contributes to societal value\, inclusivity\, and broad prosperity. This marks a first step toward a single regional platform in which government\, education\, science\, the business community\, and civil society organizations work together to raise awareness of the impact of digitalization\, strengthen mutual connections\, and encourage action around the responsible use of digital technology.  \n\n\n\nAhead of the SSH-Breed Sectorplan Conference\, the Smart & Social Fest will take place on Thursday 23 April\, organised by Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPhotography during the event \n\n\n\nPhotographs will be made during the Annual SSH-Breed Sectorplan Conference.
