# Open Future Foundation #  At Open Future we shape today's digital policies with tomorrow's challenges in mind. We put our knowledge and experience to work along EU institutions and civil society to ensure that the principle of openness is reflected in the European Union's digital policy framework. We are the Open Future, and we believe that an open internet is possible. One that maximizes societal benefits of shared data, knowledge and culture. At Open Future, we explore challenges that the digital world faces not just right now, but also in the years to come. We do this in order to design public policies and civil society strategies that can start addressing these challenges today. With the open movement we are reimagining openness anew, and advancing it in European digital policy debate. Our current work focuses on advancing Digital Public Spaces and designing the Future of Open.
