Today in The Hague, the #DigitalCommons #EDIC’s official launch is taking place—a consortium designed to strengthen Europe’s shared capacity to develop, maintain, and scale essential digital infrastructure.

We have been engaged in the effort from its earliest stages, contributing experience in building structures that sustain open, interoperable technologies. Our managing director, Adriana Groh, spoke at today’s event on the panel “Future Strategies for the Digital Commons EDIC.”
