Join our Community!
The Ledgerback Digital Commons Research Cooperative (LedgerbackØDCRC) is a nonprofit cooperative comprised of a community of academicians, researchers, students, thinkers, activists, citizens and more collaborating together to operate and manage an independent education and research center.
Our mission is to foster collaboration between stakeholders and unify the study of the internet and society (i.e., the network society).
Our vision is a glocal society and infrastructure supported by ledgerbacked systems and thinking.
We have an open call for members to join our community and volunteer, if possible, in operating and managing the research and education center while conducting their own research, innovation or educational activities while we are seeking funding.
