BIOS Proposal Summary
Open innovation is becoming a strikingly successful model in Open Source Software and is currently being applied to a wide range of industries from publishing to space research. BIOS will explore, apply and extend this democratisation of innovation to problems of biology affecting the disenfranchised of the world, in fields ranging from human nutrition, food security and agriculture, to environmental management and improvement, conservation and use of biodiversity, human and veterinary medicine and public health.
BIOS will act by catalysing a large community of innovators to produce high quality and relevant biological technologies for the empowerment of diverse problem-solvers, and secure these technologies in a new, protected, universally-accessible commons.
