Version 2

Workshop: European Inclusion and Policy

Event large

While we are all working on creating more access to education, tools and machines, knowledge and co-creation, smaller labs and local efforts are not always able to get European funds, or participate in larger projects. This session will be a start in discussing how we could better collaborate between European labs and the European Union, while making sure we also include the voices of smaller labs and spaces (and not just fab labs, but all ‘maker’ efforts in the EU).

The EU is preparing the next iteration of H2020 funding, and we would like to make sure the smaller labs and spaces will be able to participate in this as well, while also creating a voice to show the EU why and how all efforts in the ‘maker’ field should be supported.

While we are all doing great things to democratise access to digital fabrication, empowering young and old in lifelong learning, improving the social fabric and giving rise to a new wave of entrepreneurs - at the same time we risk to create a big divide between the “flagship” makerspaces and the other 95%. Especially when it comes to financial resources.

The EU is preparing the next iteration of H2020 funding, and we would like to make sure the smaller labs and spaces will be able to participate in this as well, while also creating a voice to show the EU why and how all efforts in the ‘maker’ field should be supported.
