Objective
The objective of OpenFutures is to accelerate the innovation, dissemination, and use of Future Centres as collaborative working environments, by creating an easily accessible, open source "operating system" describing how to set up, run and continuously improve them. It will involve key experts from multi-disciplinary areas to explore the ORGANISATIONAL, PHYSICAL, TECHNOLOGICAL and METHODOLOGICAL perspectives of these collaborative working environments. The project will describe best practice, critical success factors, and opportunities for practical collaboration for these dimensions, and provide insights into how Future Centres and other kinds of collaborative working environments can mutually benefit from each other's expertise and technologies. Special attention will be paid to how human factors and the organisation of work processes enhance user-centricity and the ability of people to collaborate across distance, content areas, and national cultures.
The result will be an easily accessible, open source operating system resource which can be used by all practitioners, professionals and researchers interested in applying these concepts to set up and improve Future Centres and other collaborative working environments.
OpenFutures brings together key experts who have been pioneering in implementing Future Centres across Europe to support the broader community of people working with innovative collaborative working spaces. It aims to work closely with the New Working Environment Unit to support the projects accepted in this Call to enhance consistency of research agenda's, good future orientation, identification of blind spots and missed opportunities and practical plans for systemic integration. It will integrate its socio-economic and behavioural science expertise with the technical focus of other projects to help the Unit to create a strong and integrated policy portfolio.
In this sense it will become a Future Centre for the extended CWE community.
