Between 2019 and 2022, partners from OPENNEXT is touring Europe to expand the horizon for Open Source Hardware.
Next event:
JUNE 29th, BERLIN
How is the Open Hardware Future?
What does it take to shift OS principles from the periphery to the center of hardware industries?
Join us in Berlin as we share the results, projects and key findings from OPENNEXT. Sign up here.
Together with our EU H2020 sister projects, OPENNEXT is hosting a half-day workshop on 22nd June, 14:00-18:00 as part of the international conference organized by two of the leading communities of Management of Technology, Engineering and Innovation.
Join us, SMEs and 250+ other global participants concerned with the future of tech, innovation, engineering and crisis management.
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 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.
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?
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.
