This session will explore all the latest thinking around Digital Commons as a policy priority for Europe. The concept of Digital Commons – highly open and shared digital resources which are maintained and governed by communities – represents a transformative approach to building a more open and equitable digital ecosystem. Through the Next Generation Internet (NGI) Commons project, supported by the European Commission, ‘Europe’ as such is developing an intellectual and policy basis for investing in and supporting Digital Commons as providers of public digital infrastructures that support European digital sovereignty and advance European values around digital-era governance.
