Open and Engaged Conference 2025 - Who owns our knowledge?

Open and Engaged Conference 2025 - Who owns our knowledge?

This year’s Open and Engaged Conference aligns with the Open Access Week 2025 theme, “Who Owns Our Knowledge?”, by exploring the power, ethics, and responsibility embedded in how cultural heritage is created, shared, and preserved. Through keynotes, panels, presentations and lightning talks, the programme addresses questions of ownership and stewardship in the areas of practice-research, cultural heritage data, open infrastructure, and emerging technologies. By bringing together GLAM professionals, librarians, curators, technologists, and community partners, the conference invites participants to reimagine ownership as a shared, equitable, and inclusive endeavour.

    Decolonising knowledge on Wikipedia
    (2025-10-20)
    Devouard, Florence
    Decolonising knowledge on the internet requires a critical examination of the practices, structures, and sources, while actively addressing power imbalances. It is a collective and global effort that necessitates collective reflexion, shared learning, and engagement from volunteers, researchers, professionals, and cultural institutions to foster a more inclusive and representative knowledge ecosystem that reflects diverse cultures, identities, and experiences. The topics of decolonising knowledge, provenance, migration, care principles, underrepresented communities, biases and misrepresentations are an important entry point to engage new contributors and GLAMs in the Wikimedia project, and trigger this presentation. This session will highlight some existing challenges but also identify practical recommendations and actionable strategies for fostering a more just and representative digital knowledge space.
