"In the run-up to the European elections in the summer of 2024, we offer seven proposals for policy interventions in support of the #DigitalCommons. Building on the foundations laid by the regulation of commercial platforms over the past five years, the policies presented below aim to strengthen different forms of Digital Commons as building blocks of the European #DigitalPublicSpace."

This grant is part of our engagement with the @copiepublique initiative that gathers companies who pledged to share profits to grant #FLOSS and #digitalCommons.
