DESCRIPTION:Openness can be used strategically to alter the st
 atus quo\, disrupt ecosystems and technology incum
 bents\, but there are questions as to the effectiv
 eness\, extent\, timing and impact of open strateg
 ies. This session will look into how open technolo
 gies have changed ecosystems drawing on case studi
 es in several sectors and also examine how emergin
 g technologies such as the blockchain can themselv
 es change modes and strategies for openness. \n \n
 Readings and links to the online papers and group 
 annotations will be distributed by email\, please 
 contact synbio@hermes.cam.ac.uk to sign up for the
  whole series or individual sessions.\nIt is stron
 gly recommended that papers are read in advance of
  the meetings.\n \nABOUT:\nThe guiding question of
  our research group will be the extent to which op
 en technologies result in equitable sharing of kno
 wledge and cognitive or technology justice. 'Open'
  IP describes a range of approaches to knowledge p
 roduction\, distribution and consumption that allo
 w more or different actors to participate in produ
 cing and benefit from technologies. The global shi
 ft to knowledge-based economies and increasingly r
 apid pace of technological advancement means that 
 the question of how society deals with intellectua
 l property (IP) and structures institutions and co
 mmunities to manage and disseminate knowledge is c
 ritically important to our future. Our choices wil
 l reflect and shape our societal values\, practice
 s and culture. Advocates of open and collaborative
  approaches point to evidence of real social impac
 t from but there is little published evidence and 
 any effects are heavily context dependent.
