FemTech, or Female Technologies, are specially designed eHealth software applications with the promise to aid women’s health. Although it sounds like an opportunity to reduce gendered health-gaps, it seems as if we have reached a point in which the emancipatory goals are being overshadowed. Incorrect advice not only fosters delusion but can also pose a danger to the health of people with ovaries, especially those who are already marginalised in society. On November 29 at 17:00, SPUI25 in Spe will explore the shape of contemporary FemTech software with design and tech-experts Naomi Jacobs, Kathleen Guan, and Siân Brooke. Attending the panel is completely free and there is time for a chat and "borrel" afterwards.

A two-day hackathon on how AI can help us to foster a more sustainable approach to making media, creating and sharing stories, sparking meaningful lasting conversations. SustAInability by design for public service media.
As in other areas of industry and society public broadcasters are facing the challenge to become more sustainable and reduce their carbon-footprint. What if we meet that challenge head-on and start the transformation right at the core of the media ecosystem? What would radically sustainable public media look like? What kind of formats could be made within the constraints of only solar energy? What micro-stories would we tell, and how would we deliver them? What affordances does Artificial Intelligence, Gen- or otherwise, bring to the table? How can the synthetic alchemy of Media and AI give lasting or renewable life to our stories?
Hi all. The new academic year has just started. Super fun to see all the familiar faces again, and get to know new freshmen! Hopefully you are settling back into the studying rhythm well.
But of course studying is not the only way to learn, because of course coordinating a committee, besides being a lot of fun, is also very educational! So if you're sitting around hesitating to take up something new, this is your chance! We have many great committees that are waiting for a new coordinator.
