New Resource Site for Openness & Transparency Researchers

16 May 2013

The TOTO project is very excited to announce the launch of http://opennessandtransparency.net. The purpose of this resource site is to support the work of researchers investigating the interrelated phenomena of (1) open approaches to work, problem solving and innovation (e.g. Open Source Software, Open Content, Open Innovation, Crowdsourcing, Crowdfunding)and (2) financial, operational and stakeholder transparency in organizations. On the site, you will find bibliographies of research papers/books; directories of exemplar/relevant organisations, associations and projects; working papers by TOTO and other projects on openness/transparency topics, and information, support materials and proceedings/reports of TOTO organized research events.

On June 6, 2013, the TOTO project at University College Cork will host a 90-minute seminar at ECIS 2013 to stimulate discussion among researchers who are actively researching (or even just interested) in the emerging space of crowdfunding (the IT-enabled peer-to-peer financing of business, creative and other endeavours through lending, investment and patronage). The seminar will focus on making sense of the significant literature already published in this space and will work towards an agenda for future research.
