Peer2Politics

The P2P Lab is an independent media lab interested in interdisciplinary research on free/open source technologies and practices.

Our 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 innovative, 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.

We are constantly on the look-out for co-operation on interesting projects.

"At the close of the twentieth century, corporate capitalism extended its reach over the globe. While its defenders argue that globalization is the only way forward for modern, democratic societies, the spread of this system is failing to meet even the most basic needs of billions of individuals around the world. Moreover, the entrenchment of this free market system is undermining the foundations of healthy societies, caring communities, and personal well-being.
