- Data & Gender: Who´s missing?
Data & Gender: Who´s missing?
Katharina from the Gunda Werner Institute joins Max to discuss the gendered dimensions of data and AI. How does the digital divide shape access, participation, and power? What biases are built into data sets, and how do they affect technologies like facial and voice recognition? Together, they explore grassroots initiatives, feminist approaches to digital policy, and why equitable data practices are essential for more just and inclusive digital futures.Why it matters
AI and data are reshaping society—but not equally for everyone. Existing biases in data sets reinforce structural inequalities, leaving marginalised groups underrepresented and underserved. Feminist perspectives on digital policy underscore the importance of data security, transparency, and inclusivity—essential not only for fairness but also for safety and empowerment. By rethinking how we design, collect, and use data, we can build digital systems that reflect diverse realities and enable communities to thrive.Our Guests: Katharina Klappheck, Advisor for Feminist Internet Policy for the Gunda Werner Institute from the Heinrich-Böll Foundation

Circular Data: Transforming urban habits
Niels from the province of Drenthe joins Max to discuss how circular economy goals are being addressed through data. What kinds of data are collected, how are they used, and what does it take to build trust with companies? From waste stream mapping to region-wide platforms for resource sharing – this episode explores how data helps close material loops and foster collaboration.Why It Matters
The transition to a circular economy is one of the biggest challenges of our time – and data is a key enabler. By understanding what resources enter a region and where waste is generated, we can create systems that connect companies, reduce environmental impact and spark new forms of cooperation. Circular data solutions make invisible flows visible – not to control, but to empower smarter decisions. The result? A more resilient, transparent and future-ready economy that benefits both business and society.Our Guests: Niels Annema, Data analyst for the province of Drenthe

Smart City, Smart life
Dilara and Martin from Aconium speak with our host, Max, about smart cities: What does a smart city look like, what data is collected, and does it really improve our lives? They also discuss practical examples, data sovereignty and the question of how much transparency a smart city needs.Why It Matters
Smart cities are redefining how we live, move around and connect with each other. By integrating digital technologies into urban infrastructure, they transform data into action, making everyday life more efficient, sustainable and people-centric. From smart lighting and waste management systems to real-time mobility and energy monitoring, smart cities utilise technology to address the needs of their citizens. At its core, it’s not just about sensors and servers, but about creating cities that are more adaptable, inclusive and future-proof.Our Guests: Dilara Sir, Project Coordinator regional development and smart city/region, Aconium GmbH & Martin Guth, Project Coordinator Smart city/region, Aconium GmbH

Open Data, Moving Smarter
Leon and Lasse from KielRegion and our host Max discuss the “Mobility Life Access,” an open-source data platform aimed at integrating and standardizing mobility data—from car counts to bike shares and real-time ferry locations. They explore practical applications, such as fan mobility at football matches, and highlight the challenges of coordinating diverse stakeholders, data privacy, and infrastructure gaps. The goal: smarter, user-centered mobility across urban and rural areas.Why It Matters
Mobility shapes daily life—and so does how we manage its data. By centralizing and standardizing open-source mobility data, projects like „Data for All“ make cities more efficient, sustainable, and livable. They also bring valuable knowledge and expertise in smart data use into city administrations. Whether it's avoiding traffic jams or supporting emergency planning, real-time data helps cities to make smarter, more responsive decisions.Our Guests: Leon Jamaer, Data Platform Coordinator, KielRegion & Lasse Kröger, Project Coordinator "Data for All", KielRegion

24 min - Streaming, Scrolling, Going Greener: Rethinking Digital Habits
Do Data - For a greener future in Vejle, Denmark
In this episode we learn how data consumption is directly tied to energy usage and CO2 emissions, highlighting that even sending an email or streaming a video has a carbon footprint. Our guest Gitte Alberen explains the benefits of initiatives like Digital Cleanup Day and offers practical tips—such to lower personal emissions. The episode also delves into Denmark’s push for greener data centres and the role of municipalities like Vejle in integrating smart city technologies and IoT solutions to encourage greener living.
Why it matters
As we spend more of our lives online, the environmental impact of data has become an nearly invisible yet urgent issue. Understanding the link between digital behaviour and emissions is crucial for both individual responsibility and policy innovation. With data centres consuming massive amounts of energy, the transition to greener infrastructure is essential. Cities like Vejle show how local action and public-private cooperation can drive sustainability. Lastly, without standardisation and cross-border collaboration, Europe risks missing out on the full potential of climate-smart data solutions.
Our Guest: Gitte Alberen, Vejle Municipality

21 min - Trust Through Transparency: Open Data Democracy
The Open Society: Sweden's Blueprint for Democratic Transparency
We explore how Sweden's principle of public access to information, dating back to 1766, has created one of the world's most transparent and least corrupt democracies. Archivists Ewa and Eva from the Department of Digitization Kungsbacka explain how transparency builds mutual trust between citizens and government, with everything from public servant salaries to government invoices accessible to anyone. Unlike business models that exploit personal data, Sweden's approach strictly protects personal information while making government data open by default.
Why it matters
Transparency creates accountability that prevents corruption and nepotism, positioning Sweden consistently among the world's top five least corrupt nations. The conversation highlights how digital open data isn't just a convenience but a fundamental democratic principle that European countries are increasingly collaborating on, despite resistance from countries and companies that profit from secrecy.
Our Guests: Ewa Ahlberg, Department of Digitization Kungsbacka & Eva Holmberg, Archivist

26 min - Data in Motion: Urban und Rural Mobility
From Data to Decision: Transforming Urban Mobility Together
How can shared data transform the way we move through our cities? Join Max as he explores how mobility experts in Belgium are collecting, processing, and exchanging data to build smarter transportation systems that don't stop at city borders. Discover the challenges of turning car-centered cities into bicycle-friendly spaces, and how data help officials make informed decisions.
Why It Matters
The exchange of mobility data enables cities to transform transportation systems based on evidence rather than intuition. When municipalities share data across borders, they can make better decisions about infrastructure like bike lanes and transit connections. This regional approach acknowledges that transportation patterns don't stop at city limits, creating comprehensive solutions for both urban centers and rural areas.
Our Guests: Aurelie Van Obbergen, Mobility Expert for Intercommunale Leiedal & Luc Velghe, Director of Digital Transformation in Kortrijk

23 min - Municipalities as Data Stewards: Using Data for the Public Good
Can Your City Handle Your Data? Trust is the First Step in Digital Governance.
Cities and regions collect vast amounts of data—but how can they use it responsibly while protecting citizens’ rights and building public trust? In this episode, we explore how municipalities can develop and implement effective data policies to serve their communities. We also dive into the concept of municipalities as data stewards and why local governments play a key role in ethical and transparent data governance.
Why It Matters
From smart city initiatives to public service improvements, local governments rely on data to make better decisions. But without clear policies, there’s a risk of mistrust, misuse, or inefficiency. How can municipalities ensure data works for the people, not against them?
Our Guest: Arnaud Willaime, Data Protection Officer Brest métropole.
