Next week, more than a dozen representatives from the Open Knowledge Foundation and our Network will be in Katowice, Poland, taking part in Wikimania 2024. We will endeavour to strengthen our global Network, seek more partners for our coalition advocating openness for climate justice, and promote our vision of simple, open, public interest technologies with the Open Data Editor.
See the details of each session and come and say hello – in person or virtually.
Open as a Prerequisite for Solving the Climate Crisis
🗓️ 7 Aug 🕚 16:00 CEST 🔗 https://bit.ly/wikimania-climate
Together with the Open Goes COP coalition, we believe that open access to climate change and biodiversity research will enable faster and more equitable solutions to climate change and the loss of biodiversity. This panel will provide a case study of enabling global open access policies and highlight our experimentations in making seminal climate research open access.
All for one and one for all, united we stand divided we fall

Join the Open Knowledge Network for a dynamic discussion on strengthening the digital commons. As a diverse and vibrant community of experts from different areas of the open movement, we will explore avenues for collective action to address fragmentation and enhance our collective impact.
