Project description
Joining forces for the cross-fertilisation of knowledge on digital heterogeneity
The EU-funded NesT project aims to explore the hypothesis that digital diversification allows the reinvention of contemporary, proletarianising, industrial economics. Through a multidisciplinary research network, NesT aspires to articulate local territorial situations with international concerns in the context of the Anthropocene. By shedding new light on the notions of locality, negentropy, anti-entropy, data economy and artificial intelligence, the project will develop new foundations for theoretical computer science. Moreover, through territorial experimentation, it aspires to introduce new forms of citizen participation in local governance and, finally, to develop a network of territorial laboratories of digital contributory research.
Objective
The principal aim of Networking Ecologically Smart Territories (NEST) will be to test the hypothesis that digital diversification, which will be explored as noodiversification and technodiversification as the conditions of resilience of human societies, holds the key to a reinvention of contemporary, proletarianising, industrial economics. For this purpose, a large transdisciplinary research mobility project is necessary in order to articulate local territorial situations with international concerns in the context of the Anthropocene. The aims will be achieved through an international and intersectorial exchange of researchers and staff across the academic and non-academic partners of NEST. The NEST consortium is made of 11 partners, 5 EU academic partners TU Dublin (IRL), IRI (FR), Paris Lumières (FR), USLK (PL) and UGE (FR), 2 Third Country academic Partners Uartes (EC), Berkeley (US) and 4 non-academic partners, DCC (IRL), CSSD( FR), Factory of the Living (PL), and Disnovation (FR) . There are 3 academic WPs.By extending the critique of digital technology already undertaken by the Digital Studies Network to reconsider the foundations of computer theory in relation to the concepts of locality, negentropy, anti-entropy, data economy and networked AI by developing the concepts of technodiversity and cosmotenchnics (WP1). To experiment and introduce new forms of collective responsibility through Territorial experimentation, enabling new forms of citizen participation in local governance through contributory research (WP2). To experiment and develop a network of territorial laboratories of digital contributory research in order to study the constraints acting on life and the archipelagos of ecological niches by species inhabiting the same territories, with a view to generating local understandings of living singularities and functional cooperations between territorial-laboratories and academics in view of the planetary threat.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
