Dr Igor Calzada is Principal Research Fellow / Reader since August 2022 after being Research Fellow since January 2021 at WISERD at Cardiff University. He holds Ikerbasque and the University of the Basque Country, Principal Investigator position in Digital Citizenship and Social Sciences. He is currently a Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence by the US-UK Fulbright Commission at California States University, Bakersfield for the course 2022-2023. In addition to this, he is Senior Research Affiliate at the University of Oxford, where since 2012, he has been Senior Researcher conducting comparative, interdisciplinary, and international research at COMPAS, SAME, Department of Politics and IIRR including: (i) Urban Transformations ESRC Programme; (ii) Future of Cities Programme (comparing eight city-regions through ‘Benchmarking City-Regions’ research programme funded by Ikerbasque – Basque Foundation for Science, and the RSA – Regional Studies Association); (iii) EU-H2020-Smart Cities and Communities-Replicate project; (iv) EU-Marie Curie project comparing international smart city cases. In addition, and more recently (2019-2021), he has been Senior Scientist at the European Commission, DG JRC, Digital Economy Unit and Centre for Advanced Studies, in Italy, working on Digital Transformations, Digital Rights, Platform and Data Co-operatives, and AI. He also serves as Senior Adviser in Digital Transformation in Urban Areas for UN-Habitat’s People-Centred Smart Cities Flagship Programme. His research draws on urban, digital, and political transformations affecting citizenship from the critical/radical social innovation perspective. His most recent book Smart City Citizenship (Elsevier, 2021) focuses on the present and future techno-political post-COVID-19 challenges of citizenship in AI and data-driven global people-centred smart city-regions by paying particular attention to platform and data co-operatives. Broadly, his main research interest revolves around how digital transformation processes driven by AI disruptions are altering techno-political and democratic conditions of data governance models for the emergence of new algorithmic citizenship regimes in (smart) cities and regions in Wales, the UK, and Europe. Particularly at WISERD, he develops a research portfolio stemming from his main project: 1. New Emerging Citizenship Regimes: Pandemic (COVID-driven), Algorithmic (blockchain-driven), Liquid (digital rights-driven), Metropolitan (Foundational Economy-driven), and Stateless (devolution/Radical Federalism-driven), by conducting case studies respectively in Tallinn, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Cardiff, Glasgow, and Bilbao. In addition to two additional research projects: 2. Benchmarking City-Regions: Basque Country, Scotland, Catalonia, Iceland, Liverpool/Manchester, Portland, Dublin, and Oresund; forthcoming monograph via Routledge, Regions and Cities Series. 3. Platform/Data Co-operatives and Digital Rights: By engaging with local and regional stakeholders through establishing a digital standpoint based on the foundational economy to better influence digital strategy and policy in Wales onwards. Over the last 20 years, he has worked in several HEI: University of Strathclyde in Glasgow (UK), Vrije Universiteit in Brussels (BE), Aston University in Birmingham (UK), University of Nevada (USA), Ikerbasque, University of the Basque Country, Deusto University, and Mondragon University (Spain). He completed his PhD in Social Innovation by the University of Mondragon and University of Nevada between 2008-2011. His thesis, entitled ‘Towards City-Regions? Basque Country, Dublin, and Portland Comparative Cases’ suggests a systemic framework to compare city-regions from the social innovation perspective. He achieved his MBA in 2000 by the University of Deusto. During his academic career, he achieved the following fellowships and award: Doctoral award by Caja Madrid Foundation (2008-2009); Postdoctoral Fellowship by Ikerbasque (2012-2014)
