3De opkomst van civic crowdfunding biedt mogelijkheden voor gemeentelijke overheden die burgerinitiatieven willen stimuleren. Maar slaat civic crowdfunding vooral aan bij een beperkte groep relatief hoogopgeleide burgers? De Hogeschool van Amsterdam onderzoekt dit.

By using information technology, local governments can develop alternative forms of citizen engagement. Civic crowdfunding campaigns supported by online platforms enable citizens to participate financially in social projects and can be matched with government funding. As such, an alternative for subsidies seems to be developing. In this paper, we assess empirically the success of civic crowdfunding campaigns in the Netherlands by using data collected during 2018 from 269 civic crowdfunding projects and local demographic data from the neighborhoods of these projects. The factors—the use of match-funding, the target amount of money, and the theme of the project, as well as the age structure, the province, and the degree of urbanization of the neighborhood of the civic crowdfunding project—turn out to be empirically related to the success of a civic crowdfunding campaign.

Vorig jaar verscheen de eerste civic crowdfundingmonitor, een analyse van het onstaan van een nieuw instrument voor bewonersparticipatie. Op basis van vier jaar gegevens werden de belangrijkste getallen op een rij gezet en een aantal trends gesignaliseerd.
De nieuwe gegevens van 2017 worden hier nu aan toegevoegd. Tegelijkertijd creëren we een digitaal platform voor professionals als aftrap voor een anderhalf jaar durend praktijkonderzoek in samenwerking met een aantal gemeenten in zogenaamde ‘communities of practice’.
Ons streven is om de kennis en praktische toepassingen rond civic crowdfunding beter toegankelijk te maken. We komen niet elk jaar met een groot rapport. In de eerste monitor stond veel generieke informatie. De monitors van de komende jaren bouwen hier op voort met nieuwe data van de ontwikkelingen. Ook worden specifieke vragen beantwoord door middel van onderzoek en reiken buurtprofessionals tools aan.
We bouwen een nieuw kennisplatform en maken tegelijkertijd een verdiepingsslag met het onderzoek.
In de civic crowdfundingmonitor van 2018 maken we eerst de stand op van de nieuwe gegevens in 2017 op een aantal van de onderdelen van vorig jaar, zoals aantal initiatieven, slagingspercentages en dergelijke. Vervolgens diepen we de onderdelen verder uit die we komend jaar in de ‘communities of practice’ verder gaan onderzoeken, zoals de kenmerken van initiatieven en hun donateurs.

Crowdfunding door burgers voor lokale maatschappelijke projecten neemt laatste jaren aanzienlijk toe. Hogeschool van Amsterdam deed er onderzoek naar en bundelde de uitkomsten in het eerste civic crowdfunding monitor.

Over the past 10 years, different types of financing have become available in the Netherlands. It is now possible to combine bank loans, crowdfunding loans and risk capital. Moreover, fintech applications lower the threshold for applications and reduce response times from weeks to just days or even hours. Fraser, Bhaumik and Wright (2015) point out there is a lack of knowledge of the cognitive process involved in selecting SME financing. This paper looks into the selection process financial advisers use, against the backdrop of the growing range of funding possibilities. To assess this process, we try to understand dominant habits and related heuristics. Within our explorative study, 19 experienced and independent SME financial advisers were interviewed. The questions address their knowledge, skills, experiences and choices in the selection process on the financing or refinancing of working capital and growth. Taking a grounded theoretical approach, we use Atlas TI to label all answers and statements step by step. The findings suggest a strong bias of decision-making towards the more traditional banking products. Yet advisers state they are aware of, and familiar with, other solutions. We have also found that fintech solutions are hardly used to prepare financing solutions up front. Financial advisers estimate the likelihood of acceptance by a few financial providers they know well within their personal network. We suggest that there is a behavioural approach to financing in the day-to-day decisions made by financial advisers. As long as automated selections are not fully transparent and are unable to combine all types of financing up front, financial advisers will be guided by habit or by availability, confirmation and affect heuristics, rather than looking for new financing solutions and combinations.

Inter-organizational arrangements that aim to address social and environmental “grand challenges” often take the form of multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs) (also cross-sector partnerships or collaborations). Grand challenges -- problems characterized by knowledge uncertainty, dynamic complexity and value conflict -- require diverse organizations to join forces to resolve them. MSIs are complex and dynamic arrangements due to the constant change occurring in the external environment and in the dynamics of the collaboration, as each participating organization may have very different frames of reference and interests that impede action and continuity. Scholars have long recognized the tensions of conflicting logics that are inherent in MSIs and the challenges that MSIs face in reconciling incongruent organizational identities, goals or shared visions. Accordingly, MSIs need facilitators (i.e., ‘orchestrators’) to navigate the persistent and pervasive challenges of both reconciling conflicting logics and using complementary logics in such a way that the collaboration achieves collective goals. Our study examines how MSI orchestrators work to meet this challenge by shaping and shifting cognitive frames in the context of a mature organizational field. We investigate the mechanisms used to enable cognitive shifts in logic and highlight the role of orchestration in enacting frame shifts. Empirically, we examine an MSI in the apparel industry that aims to guide retailers and fashion brands in the implementation of recommerce and rental business models, thereby pushing the textile and apparel industry from linear to regenerative and circular use of textile resources. We identify several frames from the perspective of diverse stakeholders and uncover the four mechanisms that orchestrators use to influence frame shifts. We also see from our findings that orchestrators efforts to influence and navigate frame shifting is both emergent and planned as they attempt to navigate and manage the tensions and complexity that arise in multi-stakeholder initiatives focused on sustainability challenges.

Philanthropy is on the rise in the Dutch visual arts. Fat cash prizes, big-name exhibitions, large-scale renovations, spectacular public artworks, and big scandals are changing the public display of art and undermining the democratic governance of art institutions. While some have critiqued the patron's rise to power, the majority of the art world remains silent, muted by a combination of ignorance and self-censorship. How can we overcome this deadlock and start cultivating a healthy public debate?

In this chapter, the authors elaborate on serious games and playful interactions
in modern scientific practices, and on the way they can engender
mutual scientific growth. They use a research-through-design approach, in
which three possible scenarios and prototypes are studied to envisage the
new role of the public library in practicing science in a changing society.
Their conclusion is that the public library of the future should employ
citizen science projects that are fun, accessible, malleable, and participatory,
so that its new role can focus on offering meaningful information
at the right time in the right place, contextualizing information using
playful solutions, bringing together communities to share information,
and enabling new scientific practices in unexplored fields.
