As of today there is no academic conference covering questions relating 
to the social, political and economic impact of Open Source. This 
hampers the linking of research agendas, growth of the research area, 
and the societal understanding of the value of the Open Source ecosystem 
as a whole. The OpenForum Academy Symposium (OFA) fills this space.

After a successful first, virtual edition in 2021, the OFA Symposium 
2023 will bring together an interdisciplinary set of researchers, 
practitioners, and policymakers from around the world to Berlin, in 
order to explore the transformative power of Open Source Software and 
Hardware.

At the OFA Symposium, we will examine the social, political, and 
economic implications of open source. We will explore how open source is 
changing the way we work, communicate, and interact with each other, and 
how it is shaping the future of technology and society.

The Symposium will feature a diverse and group of speakers and 
participants, including researchers, policymakers, developers, and 
activists. We believe that the OFA Symposium will provide a unique and 
valuable opportunity for learning, collaboration, and networking.

We hope you will join us for this exciting event, and look forward to 
exploring the social, political, and economic impact of Open Source 
together.
