At the <a href="https://dyne.org">Dyne.org foundation</a> we love
|
||
|
|
to develop free and open source software and we see our efforts as
|
||
|
|
part of a community of exchangers and enablers. We encourage the
|
||
|
|
appropriation of technology to weave narratives of empowerment for
|
||
|
|
people. We want to raise awareness on the importance of <b>technical
|
||
|
|
sustainability</b>; we want to enhance <b>people's control on how data
|
||
|
|
and algorithms are developed</b> and condition everyone's life. We
|
||
|
|
dream of a new, open and inclusive European model for
|
||
|
|
<b>technological sovereignty</b>.

||

Our culture is <b>sharing and caring</b>, our mission is the <b>stewardship of the knowledge commons</b>: for a free world where we can all learn from each other, take and recombine empowering elements in new architectures and designs for the common wealth. What sometimes is hard to get is how to divide the gains fairly, how to imagine and implement ways that turn the economic strenght of the common values into <b>sustainable and successfull projects and ventures</b>.

Our European observatory on <a href="https://AlgoSov.org">Algorithmic Sovereignty</a> reached significant success in divulging findings and concerns of diverse European research and development projects. The <a href="https://dcentproject.eu">D-CENT</a> made clear how participatory processes can be facilitated by accessible technological means; the <a href="https://decodeproject.eu">DECODE</a> project is researching societal uses for decentralized technologies and crypto innovations; the <a href="https://commonfare.net">Commonfare</a> project is leveraging bottom-up community projects of wealth developments through information exchange and participatory budgeting processes.

Now with the <a href="https://LEDGERproject.EU">LEDGER European project</a> we are raising the bar of our agency with the opportunity to fund and mentor new teams that develop <b>"human-centric" solutions that are purpose-driven and socially useful</b>. Beneficiaries receive up to <b>200.000 EUR equity free</b> to work hard and deliver a working implementation of their ideas in 9 months.
|
||

|
||
|
|
The event on the 5th of July is our "Welcome Bootcamp" for these teams:
|
||
|
|
the beneficiaries of the LEDGER fund will present their projects, selected
|
||
|
|
for their ethical values, quality and delivery capacity.
|
||
|

|
You are invited to come along with colleagues, students and friends to
|
||
|
|
learn more about these projects. It can be particularly interesting
|
||
|
|
for those thinking to engage the call, since <b>next year we will
|
||
|
|
award again 16 new teams</b>. At this event you will have a complete
|
||
|
|
overview of the winners with focused, presentations short and to
