 Yiannis Laouris is a neuroscientist and systems engineer, currently working as Senior Scientist and Chair of the Cyprus Neuroscience and Technology Institute and as Director of CyberEthics, the Cyprus Safer Internet Center. His team runs two projects, SimSafety.eu and InetRisks.net, which explore children and parents’ attitudes towards new technologies. Laouris is in addition interested in research and applications of broadband technologies as tools to bridge the digital; economic educational and inter-personal divides in our planet. Laouris furthermore pioneers in the application of the Structured Dialogic Design process in the Cyprus and the Middle East peace processes, and as tool to explore complex problems and to accelerate social change. He has published more than 50 papers in peered reviewed journals, half of which in neuroscience, a quarter in applied systems science and peace, and the rest in IT-children and neuroscience of learning. He contributed chapters in about 20 books and made over 130 conference papers and presentations.

+==Bio for 8HSSS==
+Dr. Yiannis Laouris is Secretary General of the Cyprus Society for Systemic Studies, member of the Board of the Institute for 21st Century Agoras and Senior Scientist and Chair of the Cyprus Neuroscience and Technology Institute (also known as Future Worlds Center: www.futureworlds.eu), whose 20 full-time scientists and many volunteers and interns focus their work at the interface of science and society. He participates in the “Concept Re-engineering” Think Tank (component of EC’s "Digital Futures), a participative visioning project, anticipating possible issues and generating inspiring ideas for the future of policy-making in the digital realm. He represents Cyprus in pan-European networks such as several COST Actions, Insafe, Inhope, etc.. He is medical graduate of the Leipzig University, Germany, completed a PhD in Neurophysiology at the Karl-Ludwig Institute and an MS in Systems and Industrial Engineering at the University of Arizona. For over 15 years, he applied linear and non-linear digital processing to biological signals from experimental animals to study facilitation and depression of small circuits of the brain. Laouris promotes the application of broadband technologies and structured dialogue as tools to bridge the digital; economic educational and inter-personal divides in our planet. He pioneered in the application of the Structured Dialogic Design process (SDD) in the Cyprus and the Middle East peace movement and in many pan-European networks; his work was published in several books and many scientific papers and was honored with numerous awards. For the past 5 years, together with Dr. Christakis’ group, he develops systems to enable scaling up the SDD process to engage asynchronously thousands in meaningful dialogue, thus accelerating change. Laouris has published over 50 papers in peered reviewed journals, half of which in neuroscience, a quarter in applied systems science and peace, and the rest in IT-children and neuroscience of learning. He contributed chapters in about 20 books and made over 130 conference papers and presentations.
+==Bio for Concept Re-ngineering==
+Yiannis Laouris is a social and business entrepreneur, a neuroscientist and systems engineer, currently working as Senior Scientist and Chair of the Cyprus Neuroscience and Technology Institute (www.cnti.org.cy) and Future Worlds Center (www.futureworlds.eu). Dr. Laouris is founding member and elected Secretary General of the Cyprus Society for Systemic Studies, member of the Board of the Institute for 21st Century Agoras and member of the Board of a number of high-tech companies. His team, comprising of 20 full-time scientists and many volunteers and interns, focuses at projects at the interface of science and society. He represents Cyprus in pan-European networks such as several COST Actions, Insafe, Inhope, EU Kids online, etc. Laouris is medical graduate of the Leipzig University, Germany, completed a PhD in Neurophysiology at the Karl-Ludwig Institute (with summa cum laude) and an MS in Systems and Industrial Engineering at the University of Arizona (GPA 4.0). For over 15 years, he applied linear and non-linear digital processing to biological signals from experimental animals to study facilitation and depression of small circuits of the brain in German and US universities. In the 90’s he founded CYBER Kids (www.cyber-kids.com), a chain of franchised computer learning centers, which introduced IT in the lives of over 15,000 children and 10,000 adults in Cyprus. CYBER Kids expanded in 7 countries and received numerous prestigious awards including the First Award for Creativity and innovation of the Employers and Industrialists Federation. Laouris promotes the application of broadband technologies and structured dialogue as tools to bridge the digital; economic educational and inter-personal divides in our planet. He pioneered in the application of the Structured Dialogic Design process (SDD) in the Cyprus and the Middle East peace movement and in many pan-European networks; his work was published in several books and many scientific papers and was honored with numerous awards. For the past 5 years, his group is concerned with the development of systems to enable scaling up a participatory dialogic processes to engage asynchronously thousands of participants in meaningful authentic dialogues, thus accelerating institutional and societal change. Laouris has published over 50 papers in peered reviewed journals, half of which in neuroscience, a quarter in applied systems science and peace, and the rest in IT-children and neuroscience of learning. He contributed chapters in about 20 books and made over 130 conference papers and presentations.
