DESCRIPTION:Openness can be used strategically to alter the status quo\, d
 isrupt ecosystems and technology incumbents\, but there are questions as t
 o the effectiveness\, extent\, timing and impact of open strategies. This 
 session will look into how open technologies have changed ecosystems drawi
 ng on case studies in several sectors and also examine how emerging techno
 logies such as the blockchain can themselves change modes and strategies f
 or openness. \n \nReadings and links to the online papers and group annota
 tions will be distributed by email\, please contact synbio@hermes.cam.ac.u
 k to sign up for the whole series or individual sessions.\nIt is strongly 
 recommended that papers are read in advance of the meetings.\n \nABOUT:\nT
 he guiding question of our research group will be the extent to which open
  technologies result in equitable sharing of knowledge and cognitive or te
 chnology justice. 'Open' IP describes a range of approaches to knowledge p
 roduction\, distribution and consumption that allow more or different acto
 rs to participate in producing and benefit from technologies. The global s
 hift to knowledge-based economies and increasingly rapid pace of technolog
 ical advancement means that the question of how society deals with intelle
 ctual property (IP) and structures institutions and communities to manage 
 and disseminate knowledge is critically important to our future. Our choic
 es will reflect and shape our societal values\, practices and culture. Adv
 ocates of open and collaborative approaches point to evidence of real soci
 al impact from but there is little published evidence and any effects are 
 heavily context dependent.
