This Friday-Sunday the Yale Law School ISP is bringing together an incredible group of academics, activists, policy wonks, industry leaders, and government officials to answer one of the most pressing questions of our age:
What will it take to promote access to knowledge for the sake of human flourishing?
This question is pushing the agenda in so many domains, including access to medicines, access to textbooks, telecom policy, library policy, broadcasting policy, traditional knowledge, open access journals and free software, to name a few.
In each of these areas we have many answers to the question of how to deploy knowledge for development, but we have a long research agenda ahead of us, and many answered questions are still searching for concrete policy solutions. This conference aims to move us forward on both fronts, and help build the strategic partnerships that will continue to propel the Access to Knowledge movement.
Check out the list of panels and speakers, and if you can make it to New Haven this Friday, Saturday or Sunday register for the conference. In any case, watch this space for regular updates.
UPDATE: Great notes on the conference panels are now on the Yale A2K wiki.
