perhaps we could work this out as a policy proposal to circulate amongst public authorities?
]]>Hackspaces and FabLabs already provide some of these functions, but possibly we could find those that are most complete and successful in their set-up and organisation.
If we want something like this (I want one in my region near Barcelona!), maybe we should share the experiences and the good practices and collectively build a replicable model. That’s what I try to do in the Microfactoria Blog.
Good luck in China and Brazil, Michel!
]]>Dear Wouter, not sure what you are referring too when you say, ‘such research labs’ ?
]]>Such research lab seems a good idea to evaluate projects for local / regional communities. If you have blueprints of that, I’d like to reuse 🙂
thanks again,
best, Wouter
automotive is good I think … the wikispeed commuter car, local motors, the eCars now conversion …; agricultural machinery from Open Source Ecology ? but why not create first, a Open Technology Transfer research lab which would evaluate the projects in terms of 1) economic feasibility; 2) ethics 3) sustainability … any technology that passes the funnel could then be supported
