Between 2019 and 2022, partners from OPENNEXT are touring Europe to expand the horizon for Open Source Hardware.
See all events below:
The thematic collection ‘Call for papers’ aims at stimulating research in the domain and creating a forum for debating on this emerging and very vibrant phenomenon. High quality scientific contributions are required to set up the knowledge baseline of open source hardware design an contribute to its development and democratization.
Please note that the call for papers is a continuous call that will be ongoing beyond the deadline.
Join us for our final public event at TU Berlin about the resulting diversity in Open Hardware with presentations, talks, developer meetings of citizen science projects and a mobile podcast around open source hardware topics such as the pocket lab PSLab, sensory experiments, makerspaces and biolabs, sustainability and longevity of products.
How do you get started with open-source? Christian Thams, Project Lead on at the Danish Design Center (DDC), invites you to Copenhagen this September to find out.
From black box to open box
Waag and Mekanika are joining forces for a public program around open source hardware. Join for a festive evening of panel discussions around open design and hardware creation.
Join us on this special day at TU Berlin as we demonstrate the projects and products developed, ranging from autonomous vehicles to a pocket-size science lab. Take part in a lively discussion together with a rich panel of engineers, researchers, makers, designers, entrepreneurs and open-minded human beings. Learn how far we’ve come – and where OSH is headed next.
EU projects round table & projects demonstrator
Join us for the presentation and round table of five European projects (DIY4U, iProduce, INEDIT, OPEN!NEXT, Climate Labs) on their results, perspectives and focus. This is followed by the EU projects Demonstrator at Octroi Nancy (innovative design factory) where OPEN!NEXT will contribute with the exhibition of our two pilot cases (Fiction Factory, Open Tech), two demonstrator cases (Mekanika, SpreeBerlin) and the TU Berlin project case of the Leezenflow.
On November 8th, the OPENNEXT consortium gathered IRL to invite SMEs, makerspaces and journalists for a deep-dive into open-source hardware.
Finally, our panel of makers, SMEs and OS experts discussed the potential of open-source hardware creation and dived into the big question: What would an open source future look like, and how do we get there?
Join us and our three sister projects on the path to open innovation!
The four projects funded under the H2020 topic that give name to this event come together for a collaborative workshop to showcase the projects and discuss how to foster open innovation and collaboration in the design, engineering and development of products.
Come join us for five online events about the potentials and benefits of open hardware product development
We are excited to invite practitioners, experts, interested citizens and civil society organizations to an exciting new series of online events, starting January 14th.
In the so-called “Open Hardware Future Talks” series, we will share some of the insights, we have gained from working on this project the past 18 months and address key questions like: What are the possibilities of Open Source Hardware – and what are the challenges? How do you convert a business to Open Source? What have we learned about revenue streams in the OPENNEXT project? And how do you create a community?
The dates and themes are:
After the tremendous success of open source software, today, open source hardware is becoming an important topic both for industry and academia. However, OSH is still understudied.
This workshop will gather stakeholders that are making research, or practitioners that are looking for some understanding of what’s happening in OSH to join and share the piece of knowledge they have.
Open access publishing, open data, and open source software are becoming the norm in academia. Is open hardware next?
The workshop will gather academics of different stages together idea-exchanging and exploring the challenges that can be faced when making open hardware.
Come learn how to identify barriers while making university-designed hardware open source and how to make steps towards forming collaborations to address issues.
