"Amsterdam/Warsaw, March 6, 2021 - Today the Open Future Foundation, a new
think tank for the open movement, has launched. Open Future's goal is to
strengthen the European advocacy efforts conducted by organisations advocating
for open access to knowledge and culture and to ensure that the principles of
this open movement are reflected in the European Union's digital policy
framework. Open Future has a long term vision that aspires to identify policy
opportunities that exist beyond the work programme of the current European
Commission.
"We believe in the digital commons and shared and public internet. We will
advance these causes by building narratives, research and strategic advocacy
work. We believe that Europe has a chance of building a fair, shared digital
space that can have an impact globally. We want to be part of this effort" said
Paul Keller, Director of Policy at Open Future.
Open Future is supported by Arcadia, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and
Peter Baldwin, through a four year, €1 million grant. Arcadia’s open access
programme supports work that "improves access to human knowledge and helps make
information free for anyone, anywhere to access and use, now and in the
future."
Open Future seeks to advance this mission by developing policy perspectives,
and a more coordinated strategy for organisations advocating for open access to
knowledge and culture in the European Union."
