Pour la culture ouverte, l’éducation ouverte et la santé ouverte | Contrepoints

In this time of crisis, we are rediscovering the importance of access to knowledge and culture. And we see the great inequalities regarding access to knowledge. The Internet, which sometimes seems to be nothing more than a tool for distraction and mass surveillance, serves as an active and living source of knowledge. Faced with this exceptional situation, cultural or research institutions, sometimes joined by private companies, choose to open their content. We can thus see publishers enabling direct online access to some books in their catalogue.On the other hand, some organizations oppose free content dissemination.
