The politics of the internet (TV De Balie)

Can we fix the internet? Once, the internet was decentralized and publicly owned. Now, a handful of major companies determine what we see, like, and share. With Britt Paris, we discuss the politics of the internet.

From social media feeds and AI systems to data centres and undersea cables, the digital world is built on infrastructures that shape how information flows, who gets heard and who holds power. American researcher Britt Paris, author of Radical Infrastructure: Imagining the Internet from the Ground Up, examines the architecture of power embedded in the internet. What happens when essential parts of public life become dependent on private platforms? The evening includes an artistic intermezzo by Jen Liu, whose work investigates the relationship between technology, labour and global systems of power. This edition is also together with Critical Infrastructure Lab and The Amsterdam Centre for European Studies.

World Standards Day / Wereld Normalisatie (standaarden) dag 2026

World Standards Day / Wereld Normalisatie (standaarden) dag

World Standards Day is celebrated internationally each year on 14 October, the day honours the efforts of the thousands of experts who develop voluntary standards within standards development organizations such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

The aim of World Standards Day is to raise awareness among regulators, industry and consumers as to the importance of standardization to the global economy. 14 October was specifically chosen to mark the date, in 1946, when delegates from 25 countries first gathered in London and decided to create an international organization focused on facilitating standardization. Even though ISO was formed one year later, it wasn’t until 1970 that the first World Standards Day was celebrated.

Ada Lovelace Day 2026

Ada Lovelace Day is an annual event held on the second Tuesday of October to celebrate and raise awareness of the contributions of women to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields, it is named after mathematician and computer science pioneer Ada Lovelace.

It started in 2009 as a “day of blogging” and has since become a multi-national event with conferences. The day was founded in the United Kingdom in 2009 by Suw Charman-Anderson on the second Tuesday in October as a means of raising awareness about the contributions of women to STEM fields. In 2022, Charman-Anderson announced that this would be the last year in which the organization that she founded, Finding Ada, would organize an annual flagship Ada Lovelace Day event in England. However, the Royal Institution stepped in with funding and the organization Ada Lovelace Day has carried on. Since its inception, Ada Lovelace Day has become international in scope, with events organized by groups ranging from museums, professional societies, universities, colleges and high schools. While Ada Lovelace Day is the second Tuesday of October, events celebrating women in STEM typically span the period of October and November, and include diverse activities ranging from in-person and virtual Wikipedia Editathons to panel discussions and film screenings. While this celebration of the often overlooked contributions of women in STEM was named for Ada Lovelace, activities have expanded since 2009 to highlight the diverse contributions of women in STEM over time and different countries. Events have featured policy initiatives and scholarship relating to equity, diversity and inclusion that provide spaces and platforms for dialogue and discussion about how unconscious bias(es) function to create barriers to women’s participation and advancement in the professional fields of STEM.

Global Tipping Points Conference

From 12–15 October 2026, Sunway University will host the Global Tipping Points Conference 2026, the first to be held in Asia.

Across four days, one argument builds: shared understanding, the human conditions for change, the finance and law that make it irreversible, and action in the region’s own cities. Bringing together scientists, policymakers, financiers, faith leaders, business leaders, civil society, artists and youth, the conference will explore how positive tipping points can accelerate transformative change for people and planets. Co-organised by the Sunway Centre for Planetary Health, University of Exeter, and Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK).

#ResiliencePays #DRRday Day for Disaster Risk Reduction / Dag voor Rampenrisicovermindering 2026

International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction

The International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction (IDDRR) was started in 1989, after a call by the United Nations General Assembly for a day to promote a global culture of risk-awareness and disaster reduction.

Held every 13 October, the day celebrates how people and communities around the world are reducing their exposure to disasters and raising awareness about the importance of reining in the risks that they face. To ensure homes remain safe for everyone, the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction has selected “Resilience Starts at Home” as the theme for the 2026 IDDRR. The 2026 IDDRR aims to raise global awareness of the centrality of the home in disaster risk reduction, advocate for stronger governance and investment in resilient housing, elevate the role of the private sector in reducing housing-related risk, and empower households, particularly those facing heightened vulnerability, to take risk-informed action to protect themselves and strengthen community resilience.
