The digital technologies we know today are known thanks to the collaboration between different actors: public funding, the scientific community, hackers, basic social movements, millions of workers from all over the world...

The Internet was designed as a neutral, decentralized network. But its evolution has led us to the present situation, in which a few large companies jeopardise the very nature of the democratic network. If we want to solve it, once again, we only have to resort to cooperation between public institutions, responsible companies and organised civil society. This is the story of Marta G. Franco in his book ‘Networks are ours’. In Euskarabildua this year he will tell us the details of this topic.

Marta G. Franco has participated in various hackmeetings and hacklabs in occupied social centers and has been a member of an essay of the free social network Lorea/N-1. He lived on 15. He coordinated the technology department of the Diagonal newspaper and was a mediator at the Medialab-Prado digital culture center. He was responsible for political communication and social networks in the City Hall of Madrid and in the City Hall of Madrid. It tries to make the Internet a place to live, working with social organizations, almost always with the research group and digital strategy Laintersection. He's also a member of the Algorights community who looks at artificial intelligence from a human rights perspective.

What is Euskarabildua?It is a news conference that aims to bring together Euskera
and technology, a space for reflection and dissemination for innovative initiatives that want to influence society, and that offers the possibility of promoting knowledge and technological innovation applicable in Basque society and in Euskera.

Iametza, Argia and Ametzagaiña jointly organise these conferences since 2012. This year will be held on October 17 at the San Telmo Museum from 09:00 in the morning.
