Det ville være et stærkt signal at sætte pokalfinalen (m/k) på en sådan liste. Både for at gøre dem tilgængelige og for at markere, at det er store og samlende begivenheder.
Gør pokalturneringen stor igen!

Yeah, and also it seems to be the assumption here that all people with mobility challenges will absolutely detest these robots, and that's just not the case in my experience. For them, it's a net benefit and indeed a great one.

In a rather short time about 2-3 years ago, these became incredibly common in Finland.
They never cause any real problems for pedestrians or cyclists, no-one really seems annoyed by them, and if a robot gets stuck in snow, people help it rather than throw fruit on it. And that behavior is good!

Anyway, just some reflections at the verge of weekend on the breath of professional experience one can meet in a day.
We used to say in political science that we were generalists, but sometimes, on this, foresight feels like next level. And it's great.

Final activity after all meetings were finished was to submit a foresight report in futures of Synthetic Drugs in Europe that we've been preparing for the European Union Drugs Agency.
The last piece of a brilliant project, almost exclusively thanks to the client and to excellent project partners.

Next online meeting was with the Romanian coordinators for an ongoing Horizon Europe project in which I'm WP leader.
We discussed, among other things, their recent workshop on Futures of Emotions, and how we can work that in to new course materials.

This was immediately followed by a meeting with Nokia about visions for future industrial ecosystems, focusing e.g. on the importance of network architecture, data operability, and Internet 4.0 standards. OPC UA For The Win.

Vi er blevet så vant til, at hvis nogen ringer eller kommer forbi uanmeldt, så vil de sælge dig noget ubrugeligt.
Hvis de her besøg gøres med tilstrækkelig takt - præster er ofte gode til den slags - så tror jeg faktisk godt, at det kan være en hyggelig markering. Normalisér at komme hinanden ved!

- Ja, det må I altså undskylde, at I blev udsat for. Det skal ikke ske igen.
Okay så, Elon, det er fandeme en fin platform, du har dig.
