Hi all, Forwarding this for a colleague who is not on this list, but keen to be connected with internet researchers interested in peer-to-peer data sharing. Please get in touch with him directly (contact details below). Thanks! Zara -- TheDat project <http://dat-data.com/> is looking for partners for an EU grant consortium. The call we are responding to is http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/opportunities/h2.... This specific call closes April 10th. We are a highly technical project that builds decentralized technologies for scientific reproducibility and data governance -- think BitTorrent and Git, but open source, and more secure. We have received two grants from the Sloan and Knight foundation. The project we want to pitch is to build a decentralized, peer to peer data sharing network for public interest datasets to ensure long term access to public funded scientific research data, open government data as well as improve data access speeds and availability. We want to hear from groups interested in this topic and who would consider joining our consortium. For a good consortium we need a research partner, for example, that focuses on Internet and data ethics. If you represent a group that would be interested, please email project lead Max Ogden at max@maxogden.com <mailto:max@maxogden.com> to start a discussion. -- Zara Rahman http://zararah.net | Twitter: @zararah
