P2P Lab
About
The P2P Lab is an independent media lab interested in interdisciplinary research on free and open-source technologies and peer-to-peer practices.
Its mission is to:
- strive for integrative insights on the open technologies and the peer-to-peer practices.
- provide consultancy support to organisations and institutions regarding open technologies and relevant socio-economic trends.
- produce novel global techno-economic solutions to local problems.
- write, edit and publish articles, reports and books in the diverse range of topics we investigate.
- organise open events for reflection and action as well as to educate people about critical and creative tools for society-changing.
