Featured Projects

Circular Economy

Edgeryders is preparing a series of short films about the automotive industry as part of our academic research project on the car industry. Before we start shooting and editing, we would like to collect your feedback on whether the scenes depicted reflect your experience. This will help us to make sure our project is grounded in reality.

Witness

Welcome to Witness - an open-source fictional world. This world is different from other fictional worlds, in that it pays a lot of attention to its economies, and makes its economies radically different from the one we live in. The culture of the Witness has passed through several stages and varies between its distrikts.

View Project

Witnesspedia

This is the shared workspace of our effort to co-create an open source fictional world, to serve as the backdrop for science fiction/fantasy novels, films, or games. This world is different from other fictional worlds, in that it pays a lot of attention to its economies, and makes its economies radically different from the one we live in (read more).

View Project

Witness Stories

To explore and build on the ideas that come out of Witness, our community of writers contribute stories about the city and its distrikts. What makes Witness such a rich and fascinating sci-fi world is that it is truly open source, and we want as many storytellers and artists as possible to help build it. By contributing a story, you make the experience of living in this world come alive.

View Project

EarthOS

EarthOS is Edgeryders’ environment unit. Our goal is to create a community of innovators around ecological living, ecosystem restoration and esp. climate change amelioration and adaptation.

View Project

Scifi Economics

Economists, politicians and business leaders, it seems, have given up on trying to imagine completely different economic systems. But we have not. And neither has a small group of brainy, visionary science fiction authors. We organize a meeting of minds where we can learn from each other what future economies might look like. And maybe even how we can help them being born.

View Project

Research Network

The Research Network is a business unit in the Edgeryders company, organised as a network. We collaborate and support each other on research projects, some of them led by Edgeryders itself.

Anywhere

At Edgeryders we don’t just rely on distributed and remote work, it’s how we started working together and how many of us got to know each other.

TREASURE

TREASURE (leading the TRansition of the European Automotive SUpply chain towards a circulaR futurE) is a 3-year Research and Innovation Action co-funded by the European Commission under the H2020 programme willing to offer new opportunities for testing innovative technologies to make the automotive sector more circular.

View Project

Internet of Humans

Welcome to the Internet of Humans conversations where we, as part of the NGI - Next Generation Internet - ask, and see if we can collectively answer, crucial questions. We want you to be part of it.

View Project

NGI Impact Summit

Participants in the NGI impact summit explore what their life and the internet might be like in an array of possible futures. A custom made card game designed to facilitate the discussions lets you build your ideal economy and government, imagining viable alternatives for internet technologies and their applications, against the backdrop of a global climate crisis, and testing it against real world restrictions.

View Project

Wellbeing in Europe

Wellbeing in Europe is part of a research project where EdgeRyders aims to build a community to help one another to navigate the changes that are happening in Europe. How are we building good lives against a backdrop of massive social, economic, political challenges? How are we creating opportunities for ourselves and where can we support one another better? In work, health, family, community life.

View Project

Collective intelligence, at scale.

We aspire to bring the citizenry’s collective intelligence to contribute to a more grounded public policy. We have developed our own, unique methodology, called Semantic social network analysis. It combines ethnographic coding and graph mathematics.

Over the years, we have engaged and connected many individuals in an online forum with about 7,000 registered user and 70,000 posts. Besides their scientific output, our research projects tend to bring about real-world impact, as they inspire initiatives by the respective communities.

We are especially interested in regional economic development, citizen engagement, participatory culture, citizen science, transitions to a low-carbon economy, social innovation and societal resilience.
