Open Source Junction 4

Open Source Junction brings together the best business and academic minds to explore how the two sectors can jointly innovate, develop and exploit open source software in conjunction with open source hardware.

Open Source Hardware (OSH), like Open Source Software (OSS), is an open approach to technology where the information needed to create hardware artefacts is distributed, allowing others to produce artefacts, and to modify and improve on the design. Open Source Hardware has a wide range of applications, including medical appliances, lab equipment, surveillance drones, and toys.

This two-day workshop will showcase a selection of successful academic and industry projects featuring open source hardware and open source software, and will provide delegates with the relevant knowledge and networking opportunities to help them build sustainable partnerships in this field.
