1ST THEMATIC CONFERENCE ON THE KNOWLEDGE COMMONS

Governing Pooled Knowledge Resources:
Building Institutions for Sustainable Scientific, Cultural and Genetic
Resource Commons

12-14th  September  2012

Université catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium

CALL FOR PAPERS

http://biogov.uclouvain.be/iasc/index.php

TOPIC

A variety of initiatives and policies have been proposed that are going
beyond “open access”, and aim to facilitate more effective and extensive
(global) sharing on local and global pools of not only scientific
information and data but also genetic resources and cultural
expressions. There is thus a need to examine a number of these
proposals’ conceptual foundations from the economic and legal
perspectives and to analyze the roles of the public domain and commons
in facilitating sharing of scientific and technical data, information
and materials.

The 1st Global Thematic IASC Conference on the Knowledge Commons aims to
bring together leading people from a number of international scientific
research communities, social science researchers, practitioners and
policy analysts, to discuss the rationale and practical feasibility of
institutional arrangements designed to emulate key public domain
conditions for collaborative research.

CONFERENCE TRACKS

•       Track 1 on “Scientific Research and Innovation Commons”
•       Track 2 on “Digital Information Commons”
•       Track 3 on “Historical experience of the knowledge commons”
