Con motivo de una petición de mi colega Ángel Fidalgo de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid para su MOOC "Software libre y conocimiento en abierto", voy a intentar resumir como surgió en 2007 la estrategia sobre Conocimiento en Abierto de la Universidad de Salamanca, ligada, por aquel entonces, al Vicerrectorado de Innovación Tecnológica y que se esboza en (García-Peñalvo, García de Figuerola & Merlo, 2010).

Aqui os dejo un enlace por si estais en Madrid o podeis pasar durante las dos primeras semanas de noviembre en donde se ofertan actividades de tipo cientifico para publico adulto o familiar. Es un modo de hacer "ciencia participativa" porque los cientificos muestran y comparten parte de su experiencia a quien pueda estar interesado.

Sólo era posible apuntarse hasta el 30 de junio :(
