Open Source & the Grand Challenges
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The grand challenges cannot be tackled by any company or country alone. Climate
|
|||
|
change, current and future pandemics, digital autonomy, market concentration,
|
|||
|
and reaching the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals are all pressing issues
|
|||
|
that underscore the need for new institutional set-ups. But the world’s
|
|||
|
stakeholders have not been idle: modes of collaboration at a completely new
|
|||
|
scale are needed to find solutions to complex problems. This takes place in a
|
|||
|
day-to-day reality that is increasingly digital, where software is ubiquitous,
|
|||
|
and while we see increased concerns over autonomy in a multi-polar world.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Open Technologies and Open Source are at the heart of this new reality and are
|
|||
|
a source for optimism. ‘Open’ lowers the barriers to competition, delivers
|
|||
|
collaborative innovation, increases welfare, while letting end-users maintain
|
|||
|
control and autonomy. Open and collaborative digital innovation is no longer a
|
|||
|
theoretical concept. It is the modus operandi of companies and countries that
|
|||
|
engage at the cutting edge of the technological and societal innovation needed
|
|||
|
to tackle the grand challenges.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2022 will be the eighth year OpenForum Europe hosts its Open Source policy
|
|||
|
event right before FOSDEM. This will be a fully online event. What started as a
|
|||
|
10-person meeting of minds on the then-niche subject of Open Source policy is
|
|||
|
now a successful annual gathering of policymakers, Open Source businesses,
|
|||
|
community members, developers, foundations and those involved with diverse
|
|||
|
digital policy subjects. Take a look at the sessions and recordings from the
|
|||
|
[2021 Summit](https://openforumeurope.org/event/policy-summit-2021/).
