Open technologies are increasingly prevalent in society. From cell phone operating systems to high performance computing, open source software provides some of the most powerful tools to tackle today's challenges. Large scale projects such as Wikipedia have demonstrated that open standards and practice can be applied to our collective knowledge and deliver invaluable resources to the general public. Advances in scope and availability of Open Hardware systems such as Arduino combined with digital fabrication techniques are boosting global maker communities and disrupting innovation and manufacturing systems. We will feature events on open source software, hardware, biotechnology, other technologies and also events on open data and open knowledge more broadly.
Our Open Technology Week will showcase and celebrate open and open source technologies developed across Cambridge and beyond. We'll be asking why open matters, who benefits and in what contexts does greater openness make sense across a diverse array of established and emerging areas from synthetic biology to additive manufacturing to big data analytics.
Independently organised events (lectures, workshop, demos, hackathons, maker evenings etc.) will take place across the city between 8-15 June 2016, culminating in a one-day gathering with talks and open source maker faire at the Cambridge University Engineering Department on 15 June.
