As I get ready to leave Berlin, I reflect on the wonderful insights I gathered from conversations in the hallways and at dinner, and from on stage talks and panels at #EIC2024. What jumps to the top of my mind is this incredibly deep and meaningful statement Francesca Morpurgo said at the start of our panel on Wednesday reminding us of our responsibility:
"When you are assigning identity, you are exercising power, and you are defining their possibilities."

I leave #EIC hopeful that this incredible, passionate, and hardworking community I call family can tackle the hard task ahead of us.

Thank you to the entire KuppingerCole team for putting on another great conference. Happy for all the new connections I made, and looking forward to collaborating with you in making #DigitalIdentity a power for good. Thanks to the great partners on the panel, and as always, much love to my #Identirati family that was here for making this a special week.

I leave all of you with a line from my talk this week: Digital Identity can be a wonderful tool for inclusion, but it can also be a ruthless weapon for exclusion.

My interview with Isabel Obieta Vilallonga and Francesco Matteucci of the European Innovation Council

"We aim to understand who’s who in our field and help projects through this journey of innovation. Sometimes, this is very fundamental research, so we try to understand what’s behind the science. I think this is important, because we’re all experts in our fields, so we can speak about the content and really contribute."

TIL that since its inception there have only been 100 (yes, one hundred) registered 🇪🇺 European Citizens' Initiatives (#EIC) to this day.

I knew this tool is complicated, it's very, very hard to meet the quotas, and completely unknown to a vast part of the EU population.

But that it would be *this* bad... wow.

Well, the good thing: The 100th EIC is about #Trains. 🚆 🎉

BTW: @jon do you know of any active JEF or Federalist accounts here in the Fediverse? I feel a bit cut off, unfortunately.

Just had an apologetic email from #NationalMaritimeMuseum.

"Sorry, we do not have the staff resources research your question.
"However, here is a pdf of a relevant letter. [Which answers my query!] And links to useful #BritishLibrary resources. And to another relevant research source. Here's a list of books we've got that you'll need. We've also got a research guide on the #EIC which will help. Also come and see us."

Pretty damned impressed with this.
