Now I am ACM distinguished speaker, one of the two ACM distinguished speakers in Norway. In Italy there are 3. One of the 120 in the world. I hope it will mean something to my students, that they will be able to say that their supervisor is an ACM distinguished speaker.

At NxtMedia I learned that journalism is alive and that journalism will save journalism. I also learned that the articles that receive less attention are those about past. Yesterday I read a Ferrante’s book, I giorni dell’Abbandono. I had such a nostalgy for Torino that I could smell the smell  of the Po and Valentino’s park. I wonder how Elena Ferrante knows so much about Politecnico. Many details about the ex husband who in the book is a Politecnico professor, reveals knowledge about the institution and its role in Torino.

Yesterday I visited Reidar Conradi. Reidar is still Reidar. 60% of the time he talks about future, research, climate challenges. He writes on white pieces of paper and has a lot of newspapers in front of him. I told him that he is in better shape now than when he was at IDI the last days. He told me – may be I will live 100 years. When I visit Reidar I think about the future, and that hard work and research will save research.  I am also very grateful that Reidar believed in me, I could not even write in English when I first met him.

My presentation is now on memory stick and here (jaccheri-nxtmedia-2018) so I do not bring the PC with me and I try to concentrate on what people will say. Looking forward for the day at Rockheim.

Now I have a podcast. It will be like this blog, about life and work, in English and Italian. My goal is not to be famous nor rich (I am already more rich than I had planned to be), my goal is to share.

today we celebrate with Chinese happiness cake made by Fufen that Albanian Orges get his first grant at NTNU in the Excited project. We also celebrate that Greek Nektaria has name day. It is not strange professors want to work after the age of 70 years. It is so interesting to be here in the world.

• If you are an IDI employee, you can register for free here.
• If  you are an  NTNU employee, you should convince your department head or project head that it is worth to pay for your subscription and your time.

Why?

NxtMedia brings together  for one day, technology entrepeneurs with media actors, such  the Norwegian TV broadcaster NRK, the main Norwegian newspapers, International researchers. If we  understand how the media sector evolves, we will know how to communicate our ideas to the world. Dear researcher, you  (and I) have a responsibility to influence  media experts so they choose the best technology that can enable democracy and prevent spreadning of false and negative messages. Dear researcher, you  will understand better how the media sector is exploiting evailable data sources and  new technology such as Blockchain and Machine Learning to imagine and develop the media of the future.

If you come to NxtMedia you will meet journalists, other International researchers, entrepeneurs. Some talks are given in Norwegian, some in English. It will be possible for the not Norwegian speaking to attend talks and participate to the discussions.

Not least the conference will happen in the amazing Rockheim.

Check for example Eveline Klumper, gruender from the Nederland who will explain how the media sector looks at Blockchain. Check Morten Jacobsen, Responsible for Schibsted Media’s technology brands like Aftonbladet, VG, Aftenposten, Svenska Dagbladet, BT,Stavanger Aftenblad and Fædrelandsvennen.  And the NRK research director Kristian Tolonen. Check also Martha Stone, world leading data and AI media organizer and researcher, former research fellow of Reuter’s Institute at Oxford – she will bring the take aways from London AI Study Tour and Conference last week to Trondheim.

See you the 15th of November at Rockheim!

Tutti gli anni il primo Novembre penso alla nonna, la maestra, la mia role model, che mi faceva ridere anche quando diceva il rosario per i Morti. Zappa, zuppa, zenzero. Scrivi ammodo.

Today my blog has more than 2000 views, record since I started blogging in 2004! While at Arlanda I post some more pictures.  I love the pictures with the guardians, I think they also had somehow a good time.
