Open Data, Standards, Patents
The FFII is a global network of associations dedicated to consumer rights and education about digital media, genuine open standards and patent systems with lesser barriers to competition. The FFII continues to protect consumers and defends your right to freedom of information and a free and competitive software market by developing educational materials, running campaigns and organizing events.

Refugee Hackathon
There are many different challenges for refugees in Germany, where simpler access to information and existing services can reduce barriers to integration. Very often, this approach can also be solved with practical apps that can be used at a smartphone. We want to develop such solutions together at a refugee hackathon. Learn how you can join us at Meshcon with Anke Domscheit-Berg.
