Join us for an inspiring session exploring the intersection of data science and democratic transparency. In an age where political processes can often feel opaque, how can we use modern network analysis to understand the complex ties binding politicians, lobbyists, and decision-makers together? Network analysis provides a digital "X-ray vision" for our democracy. Rather than focusing on isolated headlines, this technique allows us to map the underlying patterns of power and influence that truly shape our society. In this meetup, we move beyond abstract theory to explore the practical ways technology can be used to strengthen democratic values. We will dive into: * **Mapping the EU Lobbying Landscape:** Insights from network analysis of meeting activity between politicians and lobbyists at both the European Parliament and Commission levels. * **The Architecture of Power:** How we can visualize and understand the frequency and reach of interest groups and their access to the political system. * **Transparency in Practice:** How data-driven techniques empower journalists, researchers, and citizens to hold decision-makers accountable and gain a deeper understanding of legislative processes. **About the Speakers:** **Inge-Maria Falbe-Maier** and **Marie Jessen Skau** have developed a deep focus on leveraging data and network analysis to uncover the dynamics of political influence. Through their recent research project, they have mapped and analyzed the meeting activities between politicians and lobbyists within the European Union's key institutions. By examining datasets from the European Parliament and the European Commission, they bring a fresh, data-driven perspective to how we can uncover "hidden networks" and use technical analysis to foster a more informed public. Come prepared for a constructive dialogue on how we can learn from these analytical approaches to build a more transparent, resilient, and connected digital future. We look forward to seeing you there!

Blue Lotus Ceremony Transition into the Second Half of Life We invite you to an evening ceremony for women who are tired of constant rushing, endless analysis of the past, and searching for reasons for what is happening outside of themselves. Sometimes, to feel at peace with yourself and experience satisfaction with life, all it takes is a few quiet minutes alone with your feelings. Our Lotus Ceremony is a deep transformative space created to help you slow down, return your attention to yourself, and hear what is usually drowned out by the noise of everyday life. During the ceremony we will work with attention, breathing, and inner observation. The blue lotus infusion helps relax the body and gently deepen a state of presence. A guided meditation will allow you to step out of the usual stream of thoughts and meet your feelings without analysis or the need to fix anything. The sound of singing bowls supports concentration and creates an atmosphere where it is easier to stay connected with yourself. This is a space where you can simply be, listen, and allow clarity to emerge naturally. Program 19:00 — Arrival A quiet entry into the space and time to shift from the outer rhythm of the day to a more inward focus. 19:15 — Introduction and intention circle A brief introduction to the theme of the evening and an opportunity to set a personal intention. 19:30 — Lotus ceremony Mindful sharing of the lotus infusion and a gentle deepening of inner awareness. 19:45 — Guided meditation A practice of inner observation and staying present with your feelings. 20:30 — Closing the circle A calm completion of the evening and a gradual return to everyday awareness. Event details 25 March \| 19:00–21:00 Masnedøgade 20, 2100 Copenhagen Ø Participation fee — 350 DKK Places are limited. Participants of this ceremony will receive a special discount for the 4-hour circle on April 11, where the theme will be explored more deeply.

**“The Philosophy of Happiness (!) — From Buddha to Brain Scans”** Meaning, Pleasure, Discipline, Faith, and What It Means to Live Well Everyone wants to be happy—but no one seems to agree on what that actually means. Is happiness inner peace or external success? Pleasure or purpose? Detachment, discipline, faith, or self-optimization? Across history, cultures, and now science, radically different answers compete for our attention. This isn’t a self-help workshop or a mindfulness class. It’s a philosophical conversation about happiness as an idea, a practice, and a social goal. *** **Topics we’ll touch on:** * Buddha and the end of suffering: desire, attachment, and liberation * Stoicism: control, resilience, and emotional discipline * Hedonism: pleasure, limits, and whether “more” ever satisfies * Religion and happiness: salvation, meaning, and transcendence * Modern self-help: empowerment, illusion, or coping strategy? * What does science say? Brains, dopamine, habits, and well-being data * Can a society be “happy”—and should happiness be a political goal? * And finally… is happiness something to pursue, cultivate, accept—or stop chasing altogether? Casual discussion. No philosophical or scientific background required—just curiosity and lived experience. Whether you feel content, restless, skeptical, or searching—you’re not alone. Let’s explore happiness not as a slogan—but as one of humanity’s oldest and hardest questions.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
