Due to their openness and adaptability, the technologies have the potential to become a digital common (Gosh, 2006; Ostrom &amp; Helfrich, 2011) so that citizens can use and learn from them, as well as develop them further, depending on their needs. The project is initialized by the design researcher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unibz.it\/de\/faculties\/design-art\/academic-staff\/person\/38941-jennifer-liesbeth-schubert\">Jennifer Schubert<\/a> and funded by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unibz.it\/\">Free University of Bozen\/Bolzano<\/a> for a duration of 2 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the first phase of analysis of already existing civic tech projects, the technologies were analyzed through various mapping tools, which were further elaborated through external (Cyprus Workshop) and internal exchange sessions (with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unibz.it\/de\/faculties\/design-art\/academic-staff\/person\/36853-alastair-fuad-luke\">Alastair Fuad-Luke<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unibz.it\/de\/faculties\/design-art\/academic-staff\/person\/36117-secil-ugur-yavuz\">Se\u00e7il U\u011fur Yavuz<\/a>, January 2020). The process got additionally informed by events, like the Semester Inaugural Talk about \u00bbDigital Commons\u00ab in September 2020, through which the topic was discussed with external experts from various fields such as social sciences, politics, or design practice. In the end, the gained and synthesized knowledge will get synthesized in a book publication.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The research project \u00bbCivic Tech as Commons\u00ab addresses the potentials and challenges of citizen-centered technologies, short Civic Tech, that aims at the expansion of sovereignty on side of citizens using open technologies.
