Open Data & Civic Tech Communities - Past & Future

Welcome to the Berlin Open Knowledge Lab. We are a group of people interested in Open Data and Civic Tech. We usually meet once a week to develop technological and political solutions in a smaller round.

Once a month we invite an expert to give a talk about an Open Data or Civic Tech topic that they specialise in. Because of the COVID pandemic, these talks take place online. We will gather at https://bbb.ulm.dev/b/ok-lab-berlin

This month our guest is Maximilian Heimstädt. Maximilian is a researcher at Weizenbaum Institute in Berlin and broadly interested in new and more open forms of organizing. Between 2013 and 2016 he conducted a comprehensive study on the Open Data and Civic Tech communities in Berlin, London and NYC. In his talk, he will highlight some of his findings and speculate what we can learn about the future of the community by looking into its past.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact us beforehand. Just click the Contact button in the organizer section on the left and send us a message. We will get back to you shortly!
