The genesis of open research
On April 21, 2020, openresearch.amsterdam became freely accessible to the general public. A history of more than twenty years preceded this moment. For example, in 2001 Caroline Nevejan developed a first digital learning environment for the AUAS in which teachers published themselves. In her dissertation she developed the YUPTA method – in which the role of design in witnessing (the work of) the other is central. A version was created at TU Delft where students' work was shared. The core idea behind the platform is that the technical structure (a semantic web) facilitates the creation of relationships and meanings. In the videos below, Caroline Nevejan and the people she has worked with talk about the origins of openresearch.amsterdam.
