[open-science] Open technologies seminar/reading group

Mon Mar 12 17:01:07 UTC 2018

Hi All

I thought this research seminar group that I'm co-convening at the
University of Cambridge might be of interest to members of the list.

We have a seminar coming up this Wednesday 14 March (14:00-16:00 UTC)
on assessing the impact of open IP in emerging technologies with an
introduction to work being undertaken by Richard Gold and colleagues as
part of the Montreal Neurological Institute's open science experiment as
described in these recent papers:
Gold, E. R. (2016). Accelerating translational research through open
science: The neuro experiment.

Ali-Khan, S. E., Jean, A., MacDonald, E., & Gold, E. R. (2018). Defining
Success in Open Science <https://mniopenresearch.org/articles/2-2>. *MNI

We'll compare efforts in open science to work by the World Wide Web
Foundation and many others in assessing the impact of open government data.

*Open Intellectual Property Models of Emerging Technologies: CRASSH Faculty
Research Group*

We are interested in open technologies situated along a spectrum from fully
public domain to forming part of a managed commons in emerging areas such
as synthetic biology, artificial intelligence and electric cars; new
networked infrastructure such as distributed energy and new forms of
manufacturing such as 3D-printing. We explore the legal issues, economic
implications and governance of open technologies across key sectors, asking
how they are established, what motivates the IP owners and ultimately what
impact this might have on societies. A guiding question of our research
group is to what extent open technologies result in equitable sharing of
knowledge*. *All are welcome to join our meetings, forum

If Open IP in emerging technologies does present an opportunity to create a
more equitable society - how would one assess the impact and the extent of
the role openness played? This session will build on the earlier sessions
of the term to create at a framework for the impacts of Open IP and discuss
the theory development and empirical work required to enable effective
assessment.
