Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Main: Difference between revisions

{{KidsIntro|WikiDeal is a big experiment. This portal is the laboratory: it holds the big question the project tries to answer, the new ideas being tested, the observatories that watch how things evolve, and the open calls where anyone can bring ideas.}}

{{ExpertIntro|The R&D portal gathers WikiDeal's research and development activity, organised around the founding question: can users own, run and sustain a global marketplace? It hosts the described innovations, the participatory observatories, the open calls and their maturity scoring, the research questions and the living labs. The experimentation is framed by Prototype 1 and inscribed in the innovation management experience of the Ynternet.org Foundation, whose supporting bodies (curatoriums, scientific councils, steering committees) are under construction: work in progress, backed by expertise and vision.}}

The research is not abstract: it is carried out through [[Gov/en/Portal:Meta/Prototype-1|Prototype 1]], the first test version of WikiDeal, funded by a first CHF 1,000,000 round with defined [[Gov/en/Portal:Meta/Prototype-1-Deliverables|deliverables]], notably including the results of the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main#wave-2|wave 2 open calls]] and pilot use cases in selected markets.

This R&D programme is inscribed in the innovation project management [[Gov/en/Portal:Onboarding/About-History|history of the Ynternet.org Foundation]], active since 1998 in ethical and inclusive digital transition. The supporting bodies of the programme (curatoriums, scientific councils, [[Gov/en/Portal:Institutions/Governance|steering committees]]) are being elaborated: this is work in progress, backed by an existing expertise and a long-term vision.
