#commonknowledgeEU

*On June 1st, hosted by Isabella Adinolfi in cooperation with Commons 

Network,*civil society considers Internet, copyright, health and climate 

in EU knowledge policy from a commons perspective.  From 11.30 – 13.00 

at the Altiero Spinelli Building – Seven floor – Room 7H1.

The commons perspective stresses the democratic governance of knowledge 

as it identifies knowledge as a shared resource that is a collective 

responsibility. It emphasizes equitable access to knowledge resources 

such as health-care and education, the urgent need to 

prioritize ecological sustainability in knowledge policy and the 

promotion of an*open and democratic Internet.

In late 2015 the Commons Network published the 

paper:The  EU and the Commons: A Commons Approach to European Knowledge Policy. 

<http://commonsnetwork.eu/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/A-Commons-Approach-to-European-Knowledge-Policy.pdf> It 

outlines the compelling logic, benefits and ethics of a commons approach 

to knowledge, with an emphasis on how that could improve policy in 

certain areas such as health, the environment, science and culture, and 

the Internet.

We would now like to engage in a conversation with experts working in 

the various fields discussed, during an expert meeting in the European 

Parliament. This conversation will allow us to assess the usefulness and 

applicability of the commons perspective in policy making on knowledge, 

and how to concretely move forward in protecting and managing common goods.

We shall be considering the EU policy context of the digital Single 

Market strategy, copyright reform, climate policy, internet and 

telecommunications governance discussions and the implementation of EU 

research and innovation programmes.
