The areas of my research include public property management, public space, self-organisation, DIY philosophy and urban-cultural discourse. In 2010. I co-launched one of the first initiatives aimed at fostering citizens’ participation in urban development, initiating dialogue between citizens, social activist, urban developers, architects and city officials about development of the city, called Ministry of Space. From 2012. I’m program and art director of the Street Gallery in Belgrade, first public exhibition space for community and for sharing and co-creation. In 2014. I co-initiated movement “Don’t let Belgrade d(r)own” which was set up to oppose controversial Belgrade Waterfront Project, and gained massive public attention after a wave of protests denouncing government corruption and calling for the mayor’s resignation after a series of illegal demolitions were undertaken in late April to clear land along the Sava River for the new development. I also work as teacher assistant on the Interdisciplinary studies at the Department for urban planning at Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade. I’m an author of the publication „Map of action“ about the urban activism in Serbia, for which I got a special prize. In the partnership with two NGOs from Belgrade, in November this year we started the project - Studies of the Commons, which seeks to explore, apply and experiment with the concept of commons in the local/regional context. The overall objective of the project is to encourage critical thinking and acting, to offer and examine new models of education, production, collective organization and management, with an aspiration to propose and discuss new ways of sustainable, equitable and participatory social organization.

STACEY Paul + (I'm actually based in Vancouver Canada but … I'm actually based in Vancouver Canada but I've been actively leading digital commons initiatives globally since 2003. For the last five years I was Associate Director of Global Learning for Creative Commons helping government, organizations, and businesses around the world adopt and use open licenses to share digital works. In this capacity I supported open policy, open business models, and open practices across all kinds of open initiatives including Open Access, Open Educational Resources, open data, open science, and open culture. I'm the co-author of a recently published book Made With Creative Commons. This book makes the case that sharing is good for business, especially for companies, organizations, and creators who care about more than just the bottom line. It includes 24 case studies of hybrid organizations who are part market or state and part commons. All of this work has led me to see the great social and economic benefits of the commons - in all its forms. Having started out focusing on the digital commons I'm now coming to embrace the physical commons and position my go forward efforts in a way that embraces both the digital and physical. Commons work in Europe seems significantly more advanced than in North America but I'm sensing a growing interest here so I've started speaking to people about the possibility of to establishing a NA Commons Assembly. In September I'll be speaking at the Open Science FAIR Conference (OSFair2017 - www.opensciencefair.eu) in Athens about the book Made With Creative Commons. Hope to meet some of you there!e Commons.
