['b aI os ] noun 1.(from Greek,
βiος ) life; 2.(acronym) Biological Innovation for Open Society;
3.(acronym) Biological Open Source; 4. Biological Innovation through Open
Science; 5. an initiative of CAMBIA.
BiOS is a response to inequities in food security, nutrition, health, natural
resource management and energy. Our goal is to democratise problem solving to
enable diverse solutions through decentralised innovation.
Open Source
We promote an innovation paradigm that focuses on a distinction between the
tools of innovation and the products. We promote licenses that couple rights
with responsibilities to foster efficient development, improvement, sharing and
use of technology.
Open Science
We create and share new biological enabling technologies and platforms that
can be used to deliver innovations. We develop new
licensing and
distributive collaboration mechanisms
that have resonance with the open
source software movement, but are tailored for biological innovation.
Open Society
We enhance the transparency, accessibility and capability to use all the
tools of science, whether patented,
open access or public
domain.
