On Thursday June 7, 2007 at 3:30 pm in the V G Kulkarni Auditorium at
|
|
Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE) in Mumbai, India, Georg
|
|
Greve gives a talk about Free Software and science.<br/>
|
|
|
|
Free Software and science share common roots, and benefit society in
|
|
several similar ways. In his talk, Mr Greve will explain the concept of
|
|
Free Software and how it relates to maintaining our scientific basis as a
|
|
society. As a practical example of this collaboration, the talk will give
|
|
a brief introduction of the Science, Education and Learning in Freedom
|
|
project, in which the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, Tata
|
|
Institute of Fundamental Research plays a crucial role. The talk will
|
|
close with an overview of how all of this relates to the global political
|
|
trends of knowledge monopolisation, and the Access to Knowledge
|
|
initiative.
