The OPEN 2009 Symposium is meant to be an academic forum for the doctoral students of the Media Lab to engage with students and researchers from other institutions around topical research subjects. This year’s topic, openness, originated from discussions among our doctoral students, in particular among people interested in the themes of social media, peer production, and new ways of organising activities.
The OPEN Symposium is an event for all interested parties who want to understand the recent shift from an industrially organized era to an era of networks and open information and social production.
