SMART eD aims to foster European citizenship and improve conditions for civic and democratic participation at EU level by raising citizens’ awareness of national and EU level initiatives to counter fake news and online disinformation. The project will create an online repository with all the project outcomes, and will provide recommendations for EU policy-makers on strategies and methodologies for the smart use of eDemocracy tools to counter the negative impact of fake news. In order to maximize our results and impact we are joining forces with 6 other organizations from all around Europe. Each partner will carry out the following activities across the EU: Here are the results from the events we organizes in Athens and Larissa about Fake News. Also check here the official site of project SMARTeD and a short report of all the events here. Stay tuned for more.

Like millions of other mobile applications, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our system. Google Analytics is a piece of software that grabs data about our users (you). It’s something like an advanced server log.
Google Analytics records things like:
What features of our app you use.
How long you stay on each screen.
What kind of device and operating system you are using.
And quite a bit more: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
The collected information allows us to better understand:
the kind of people who use our application;
the devices and operating systems they mostly appear to use.
The above allow us to better design future versions, enable or disable features and understand our impact.
Occasionally, we may compile aggregate statistics about the number of user we have, as well as a breakdown by country, device, or similar grouping. No personally identifying data is included in this type of reporting.
All of our activity falls within the bounds of the Google Analytics Terms of Service.
The effective date of this policy is Jan 1st, 2017. We will communicate any changes through our website (scify.org) or through the application itself.
Guilty or Innocent | Are journalists part of the political story rather than its narrators?
To whom are they accountable?
Free entrance - Registration
On Wednesday, September 19th 2018, 12:00 pm, Oikomedia and The Caravan's Journal, invite you to Impact Hub Athens (Karaiskaki 28, 10554 Athens) for an event to answer: Are journalists part of the political story rather than its narrators?
The central idea evolves around what we consider "public interest" and with this Mock Trial, show that we promote the idea of a stronger engagement of the media with the public to whom journalists "should" be accountable. In the current political climate, with lots of media distrust in many western democracies, journalists are seen as part of the political story rather than simply its narrators.

SciFY is included in the inspiring practices in the EU Commission's Entrepreneurship Competence Framework guide to the Entrepreneurship Competence Framework.
Why is this important? Because, as the guide says in the introduction, that is how we are changing the world around us: "The entrepreneurship competence is increasingly recognised as a competence for life, relevant to personal development and fulfilment, finding and progressing in employment, as well as initiating new ventures ranging from community campaigns, social enterprises to new start-up businesses."

Just before the end of 2017 we installed at the Special Elementary School for the Blind in Kallithea, our application: ICStudy, ehich allows to students with limited vision to see what it is written on the board and read their electronic books. Basically, to participate in class!
We discussed about the pilot and the future improvements. We want to thank one more time KEAT (Special Elementary School for the Blind in Kallithea) that gives us the chance to achieve this goal: accessible education for all!
