P2P Lab
P2P Lab (EL) works for the development and maintenance of a global knowledge commons, encompassing a global community of researchers, makers, artists, designers and others, that advocates and monitors models of peer production, peer governance and peer property in every field of human activity. Its wider network includes institutions and organisations from academia and civil society, active grassroots social movements and institutions working for the transition to a P2P-driven, commons future.
Our core activities involve organising events on sociopolitical issues from a commons perspective, providing a platform for creative talents to showcase projects and exchange ideas. To ensure diversity and inclusivity in our activities, we issue an Open Call, through which we select participants for our local activities, typically held in the summer/autumn, contingent upon the availability of participants. Emphasising documentation, we share insights and promote projects through channels like the DD website, the DD book, and the mobility scheme. We ultimately aim to build a global network of makerspaces, exchanging best practices to address global climate change challenges autonomously.
