How are we advancing European open source
- European Open Source Awards
The flagship event of the project, European Open Source Awards is one of a kind celebration of the leading innovators and contributors in European open source. In the two editions delivered, we have strengthened the visibility and invaluable role open source has for digital infrastructure of Europe. - OS Skills & Resources
Through the delivery of data visualisation tool, range of masterclasses and the newly launched Skills Hub, the OSAwards.eu is supporting the latest know-how and knowledge transfer to the next generation of open source contributors and leaders. - Open Source in Policy
Open Source is pivotal in how Europe defines its future political, digital and economic strategies. The Academy aims to bridge the gap between technical contributions of open source developers, service providers and the technical merits of transparency into a clear policy framework.
