1 "Five Elements" Worth knowing! I. PROJECT 1. Project: "Five elements" Conference. "Freedom Information Security". 2. Time and venue: Conference June 2014, Museum of Municipal Engineering in Cracow, ul. Św. Wawrzyńca 15; Robot Parade demonstration of unmanned flying systems: 17 June, 15:00 hrs, Polish Aviation Museum in Cracow, Aleja Jana Pawła II 39 Robot Parade demonstration of land machines 18 June, 11:00 12:30 hrs, Main Market Square in Cracow, western side of the Cloth Hall (Sukiennice) 3. Project objectives/anticipated results Our "Five Elements" programme presents best practice in the application of smart systems in emergency management and military operations. We strive to create a favourable climate for the society to embrace of the development of new technologies. We are dealing with the format of data integration systems for emergency response services and Poland's military. We look into the security status of key systems controlled by smart algorithms, as well as the competencies of Polish companies in robotics, satellite imaging and Earth observation. And last, but not least, we are organising Poland's first Robot Parade a show of unmanned aerial and land systems. These will be combat-proven machines designed by professional companies, but also by students dreaming about space exploration. The event will be an emanation of the capabilities of smart systems, a demonstration of their technical capabilities, as well as the promotion of robotics and ITC in the protection of the population and military operations.

2 Mayor of Cracow will assume the honorary patronage over the conference, in close collaboration with the City Hall of Cracow, Collegium Civitas, Euro-Atlantic Association and the Fire Service College in Cracow. As a follow-up to the conference, we will draw up a report entitled "Robots in Public Space", in which we will discuss the dilemmas associated with progressing robot autonomy in the context of the lack of relevant legislation and in the face of the existing cultural and social prejudice against technology. We will also propose changes in legislation, as well as measures designed to promote robotics. At the same time, at the Robot Parade the Head of the National Security Bureau will present his awards for the most exciting academic/amateur UAV and a self-propelled robot construction. 4. Project description We are directly and indirectly referring to the Strategic National Security Review and the recommendations for the National Security Strategy derived therefrom. Our goal is to establish a platform for sharing thoughts and experience in emergency management and national security. We aim to understand the dilemmas involved in the progress of robotisation in emergency management and military operations. We emphasize the ITC security of machines, so vulnerable to attacks from cyberspace, but at the conference, we will deal first and foremost with the significance of information fusion for efficient emergency management systems, in which local governments play a key role. The Robot Parade and the awards of the Head of the National Security Bureau for the most exciting students' designs of an unmanned spacecraft and a self-propelled robot will provide a good opportunity to identify the innovative potential of Polish research and industry required for the technical modernization of Poland's military. The Head of the National Security Bureau is to take part in the Robot Parade and personally present the awards. Key topics of the conference: a) economics of security: between freedom and security. What to invest in to get good payback on security outlays? b) format of data integration systems for emergency response services and the military c) status of ITC security of key systems controlled by smart algorithms. How to protect drones against cyber attacks? d) best practice in the application of smart systems in emergency management and military operations e) competencies of Polish companies in satellite imaging one of key information sources f) Robot Parade The selection of these topics is the response of our think-tank to: Polish Armed Forces' Technical Modernisation Plan Increased significance of emergency management in local government agencies Potential of solutions for smart systems embodied in robots designed by Polish and foreign companies, as well as institutions of higher education Poland's participation in ESA projects 2

ORGANSER 1) Information about ownership (e.g. private, public, etc.) and legal establishment (foundation, association, sole proprietorship, partnership/company, other - what type?): Foundation Instytut Mikromakro with a registered office at ul. Lanciego 13, flat 149, Warsaw, REGON , NIP , registered by the District Court for the capital city of Warsaw, 13 th Business Division of the National Court Register under the number KRS , 2) Description of the organiser (e.g. scope of activities, mission, achievements): Striking the right balance between the fundamental right to freedom and our sense of security is one of the key issues on our agenda. This is why this year; we have launched a public debate on the man machine security relationship, in which an active role was played, among others, by the Head of the Inspectorate for the Implementation of Innovative Defence Technologies (Major General, pilot, Leszek Cwojdziński, PhD has already become actively involved in this year's Five Elements programme), the Intelligence and Reconnaissance Analysis Board P-2, Special Forces, MOD Emergency Management Centre, Centre for Simulation and Computer War Games of the National Defence Academy. This has brought about the report "Man Machine Security. Smart systems in emergency management and military operations" available on the website We also study the information needs of various professional and social groups and the ways of satisfying such needs. We have a research programme "Mikromakro Index smart city index". Are urban data resources and processing techniques properly used? How can intelligent technologies improve the management and provision of public services? Will better access to information affect the quality of life in our cities? This is the outcome of our participation in the National Research Programme Foresight Poland 2020, in the project "Technological perspective Cracow Lesser Poland 2020" and work on the identification of the potential of Gdansk as a smart city (2012 r.). "Programmamus futura" is our motto. The Centre for Research in Futures of Collegium Civitas shares this knowledge with students. As journalists we write about the social acceptance of ICT in the Computerworld and Polityka weeklies and the daily newspaper Rzeczpospolita. Mr. Sławomir Kosieliński: the President of the Foundation, an historian, commentator, Deputy Head of the Centre for Research in Futures of the Collegium Civitas and head of its Postgraduate Strategic Planning Study. In 2008 he co-authored Poland's growth scenarios under the National Foresight Programme "Poland 2020" - "Information and communications technologies". In the years he took part in a foresight programme for Lesser Poland "Technological prospects Cracow Lesser Poland 2020". Editor of the final report of that project published in December In 2012 with his Foundation, he co-authored "Healthcare Scenarios 2020" for the project "Electronic platform for gathering, analysing and provision of digital resources about medical events" implemented by the IT Systems Centre of the Ministry of Health. Also in 2012 he took part in research on the potential of Gdansk as a smart city, commissioned by the President of Gdansk. This research produced the report entitled "Potential of Gdansk as a smart city". In 2013, in collaboration with the Rural Development Foundation and its Commune Head Academy he wrote the book "Energy in the commune. From purchasing groups to civic power generation". He specialises in national governance using ICT and communication techniques, public procurement, new technologies stimulating urban growth, national security and the 10

11 application of foresight methods to strategic planning. Among other things, he originated and organised the conference "Five Elements Freedom Information - Security". Sławomir Kosieliński President Instytut Mikromakro Foundation tel kosiel@mikromakro.pl 11
