Public Lecture by Rufus Pollock -- Making an Open Information Age

Public Lecture by Rufus Pollock: Making an Open Information Age

CREATe will host a public lecture by Dr. Rufus Pollock, titled ‘Making an Open Information Age: Power, freedom and inequality in an age of bits‘. Many in CREATe will be familiar with his trailblazing work on the economics of copyright and in particular, on calculating the size and value of the public domain. In addition to his academic research, Dr. Pollock is Founder and President of Open Knowledge, an international non-profit focused on promoting the sharing of information. He was formerly a Shuttleworth Foundation Fellow and a Mead Fellow in Economics at Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge and remains an Associate of the Centre for Information and Intellectual Property Law at Cambridge.

Open Data Maker Night

Open Data Maker Night is an informal event focused on “making” with open data – whether that’s creating visualisations, foraging for new data or telling stories. It won’t be a general meetup – if you come, expect to get pulled into actually building something. You don’t have to be a programmer, just willing to contribute ideas and insights.
