What is a "Appel à communs"? A look back at ADEME's innovative initiative

Published on 30 November 2023

Summary

« The call for commons offers an interesting alternative to the call for projects: while the latter works perfectly well for solving a specific technical problem, it becomes less efficient as the subject becomes more complex. In contrast, the call for commons supports open resources - the commons - produced and maintained by pooling the resources and skills of an ecosystem of players. »

It enables the development of cooperation around a common resource (goods and services) and catalyzes the emergence of new autonomous and independent processes in a renewed economic and political approach. »
