Hi Everyone!
 
We have had a dynamic and exciting year and would like to share some of our highlights, publications and activities with you.

To name just a few milestones of 2018:

This year we opened an office in Amsterdam and started our campaign 'CommonsforEurope2019'. We published a policy paper on biomedical commons and access to medicines and a well-received paper about urban commons in Amsterdam and Berlin. 


Acknowledgement and recognition of the commons is increasingly becoming mainstream.  This is good news, as it is a prerequisite for truly transitioning to social-ecological sustainable societies.  But what does it mean to support and protect the commons?  And how can we apply this model to different sectors? 

These are some of the questions we try to answer and engage with every day. Below you will see how we go about it.
