« Collaborative finance for collaborative spaces », #RGCSBarcelona seminar on fablabs & crowdfunding

By Heloise Berkowitz (Ecole Polytechnique, i3-CRG)

We thank IBEI for graciously hosting the event and for Carlos, Helena and Gloria for their precious help in organizing the seminar. And we thank our three presentators : Ignasi Capdevila (PSB), Tomas Diez (Fab City Research Lab Director, Smart Citizen Co-founder) and Sergi Figueres Moret (former IBEI student, co-founder and CEO of “Worldcoo”).

***********

On the 25^th of May, Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals hosted a #RGCSBarcelona seminar on “Collaborative finance for collaborative spaces”. The objective was to open a dialogue between two dimensions of the collaborative economy: fab labs and crowdfunding. Indeed, the collaborative economy not only deeply transforms and challenges working practices, but also calls for rethinking funding models and financial systems.

A demonstration of percussions opened the seminar, right below the windows of the classroom.

Final program #visualizinghacking2017 in Tokyo

Our learning expedition will start on Monday, 12th (9 AM) and end on Thursday, 15th (3PM). This experimentation follows #visualizinghacking2016 in Berlin (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHDNSG4uzBE&feature=youtu.be). It aims at visiting innovation labs, independent and corporate maker spaces, fab labs, hacker space, coworking spaces, accelerators and incubators, and to take pictures of (or draw) bricolages, improvisations, creativity movements and hacking gestures which are at the heart of new work practices. The results will be exhibited in London during the 2nd RGCS Symposium in January 2018 (as we did for the first RGCS Symposium at Paris City hall).

We will be a core group of academics and entrepreneurs exploring, walking and continuously discussing our analyses and surprises. This experimentation will be opened to all people (entrepreneurs, makers, journalists, academics, students, artists…) who want to join us for the visits and/or meeting points. Free registration can be completed via our Eventbrite.
