Hi AoiR, I wanted to let you know about the following event which I think will be incredibly interesting for many in the AoiR community: https://publicspaces.net/conference-2021/ <https://publicspaces.net/conference-2021/> (All online of course! And free). *How do we build the right conditions and community to build a public interest internet*? On March 11 and 12th, Waag, PublicSpaces and Pakhuis de Zwijger are organizing a conference on how to save the internet, powered by the Dutch Ministry of Internal Affairs. "We would like to start a conversation on how to bridge the gap between these public organisations and open source developers. Where to get funding? How to start co-creation with a public organisation? And how to create better designed, user-centric, value driven tools that are easy to implement by broadcasters, museums and festivals? A discussion with developers, investors, politicians and public organisations." *PublicSpaces* is a coalition of over 25 public organisations in public media, cultural heritage, festivals, museums, education and health care. *We are reclaiming the internet as a force for the common good and advocating a new internet that strengthens the public domain.* Have a great weekend, Katja -- Katja Bego | Principal Researcher, Explorations & Futures team, Nesta <https://www.nesta.org.uk/team/katja-bego/> and Project Lead of NGI Forward <https://research.ngi.eu/> | @katjabego <https://twitter.com/katjabego> -- 58 Victoria Embankment London EC4Y 0DS www.nesta.org.uk <http://www.nesta.org.uk/> | Twitter <http://www.twitter.com/nesta_uk> | LinkedIn <http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1868227&goback=%2Egdr_1274367066783_1> | Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/pages/NESTA/116788428355432?v=wall&ref=sgm> If you no longer want to receive emails from Nesta, send an email to  info@nesta.org.uk <mailto:info@nesta.org.uk>.
