= project to calculate and demonstrate the capacity of an integrated peer production model to substantially reduce the material footprint of production, while retaining the welfare achievements of complex modern societies
Main coordinators: Xavier Rizos and Celine Piques; with the assistance of Jose Ramos of the Commons Transition Coalition in Melbourne (and Footscray Makerspace) ; and Vasilis Kostakis and Vasilis Niaros of the P2P Lab
