Collaborative Projects
Why is OW2 engaged in collaborative projects?
OW2 engages in collaborative research projects that offer compelling synergies with the OW2 community, the OW2 codebase nd OW2 initiatives.
As innovations in cloud computing, big data, IoT, privacy and security and artificial intelligence are becoming increasingly complex we believe they require both new software engineering techniques and collaboration between competitors and contributions of stakeholders of different origins. We believe open source is a powerful strategy to facilitate such collaboration and thus to foster long-term radical innovations.
OW2 contributes its expertise in commercial open source community enablement, open source project lifecycle management and global dissemination of open source technologies as a partner in various collaborative projects. Please download the explaining how OW2 helps collaborative projects.
Here is a quick overview of community support and dissemination services offered to collaborative R&D projects:
OW2 helps collaborative projects bridge the gap between research and their potential markets.
- Technical platform OW2 offers its own infrastructure of state-of-the-art open source development and collaborative tools for research teams.
- Community building OW2 has the experience and methodologies to help projects reach out to third party stakeholders and potential users and develop their own ecosystems.
- Events and media OW2 runs communication initiatives and social media, and and arranges project presentations at scientific and industry events.
- Dissemination collateral OW2 develops a full range of physical and online marketing materials to promote collaborative projects.
- Open source OW2 provides projects open source best practices and a neutral environment where contributors can work together independently of private interests.
The tangible offering: proposal contribution and work package leadership
OW2 helps develop proposals and offers to lead the work package dedicated to implementing the communication, dissemination, exploitation, standardisation and training activities to generate awareness for a project, position it in its potential market and foster the growth of its community. This includes:
- Making available immediately a state-of-the-art technical infrastructure to support the collaborative work of developers and the awareness and community building efforts.
- Creating appropriate message content and communication material and initiatives to generate awareness in the software industry and potential market.
- Engaging in industry media communication through websites, events and conferences, to position the project as a high-potental, valuable initiative.
- Developing exploitation plans, business and IPR strategies targeting relevant stakeholders and market segments to ensure the project’s sustainability beyond its actual duration.
