Programme available: “Knowledge infrastructures and digital governance. History, challenges, practices.” 7-8 September 2020

The conference will take place remotely on Zoom from 7-8 September 2020.

Please register to receive the Zoom link by sending an e-mail to Valérie Schafer (valerie.schafer@uni.lu) before 5 September 2020. Speakers will be registered automatically.

This workshop is organized by the OPERAS community and aims at revisiting digital knowledge infrastructures from an organisational and governance perspective, through their history, their stakes and achievements, as well as their challenges and obstacles.

Our workshop will explore how these infrastructures frame themselves, evolve and adapt, how they stimulate participation and implement innovative models of governance as well as how they create a shared culture, common values, how they sustain knowledge commons and may contribute to a new epistemology and scientific environment.
