The session will present the UN Open Source Week Conference Report, offering a concise synthesis of the discussions held throughout the week. The report captures key insights, lessons learned, and best practices shared by policymakers, practitioners, and open-source leaders, highlighting how open source is increasingly shaping public-sector innovation, digital public infrastructure, and inclusive digital transformation.

Speakers: Arnau Monterde (Director of Participation and Innovation for Democracy, Barcelona City Council), Omar Mohsine (Open Source Coordinator, United Nations Office for Digital and Emerging Technologies (UN-ODET)) & Dr. Sachiko Muto (Chair, OpenForum Europe)

Delivering digital sovereignty requires more than regulation and investment — it depends on institutional capability. This session will focus on how large organisations, both public and private, are building the structures needed to adopt and sustain open approaches.

Panellists will discuss the role of Open Source Programme Offices (OSPOs) as engines of institutional learning, collaboration, and governance, and the potential for a EU policy to accelerate this transformation. Drawing on examples from critical sectors — including energy, transport, and public administration — the discussion will explore how organisational capacity can strengthen Europe’s digital resilience and enable openness at scale.

Speakers: Manuel Mateo Goyet (Acting Head of Unit CNECT.E.2, European Commission), Lucian Balea (Deputy Director of R&D and Open Source Director, RTE), Supriya Chitale

The EU’s economic security agenda emphasises reducing structural dependencies in critical and emerging technologies. In the public sector, this is closely linked to interoperability, control over digital infrastructure and the ability to sustain essential services. Open source already functions as a resilience mechanism through shared development and long-term maintainability.

This session will examine how the European Union’s public sector plays a key role in linking open source within economic security policy, with a focus on the Interoperable Europe Act, the revision of the European Interoperability Framework and reinforced by forthcoming initiatives such as the EU Open Digital Ecosystems Strategy. The role of open standards will take a central role. Panellists will also consider how standards are developed and governed, and how open source can align industrial policy, standard-setting and public sector digital transformation across the Union.

Speakers: Dirk Schrödter (Head of the State Chancellery (CdS) and Minister of Digitalization of the State of Schleswig-Holstein), Leontina Sandu (Head of Unit, Interoperability and Digital Government (DIGIT.B.2), European Commission), André Rebentisch (Software project and programme manager), Liv Marte Nordhaug (CEO, Digital Public Goods Alliance) & Dr. Jochen Friedrich (Technical Relations Executive, IBM)

Open technologies underpin, shape and drive our digital world and frontier innovation, yet their social, economic, and strategic impacts remain weakly evidenced in public policy discussions. This lack of coordinated, empirical research limits the ability of governments to recognise, value, and effectively leverage open technologies as part of their competitiveness, resilience, and digital sovereignty agendas.

This is the global launch of Open Technology Research, a joint initiative of OpenForum Europe, the Open Source Initiative, and the Open Knowledge Foundation. The initiative will build a shared research agenda, strengthen the global research community, and translate rigorous, policy-relevant evidence into decision-making processes at European and international level.

Speakers: Deborah Bryant (Interim Executive Director, Open Source Initiative), Astor Nummelin Carlberg (Executive Director, OpenForum Europe) & Renata Ávila (CEO, Open Knowledge Foundation)

In the highlighted attack-stop phases, the proposed resilient DMPC (left) keeps the formation geometry tighter and shows smoother trajectories, with a faster return to the desired offsets after each disturbance/attack event.

The video depicts a dynamic simulation of a multi-agent system that is operating in a structured delta formation while navigating through predefined waypoints. At the beginning, the agents move in nominal mode—following their trajectories and maintaining a stable formation using standard control inputs. As the simulation progresses, you can observe disruptions caused by FDI attacks (pink background), which disturb inter-agent communication and result in deviations from the desired paths.

Notably, the third frame of the video highlights the system’s resilient control scheme as described in the uploaded paper. In this phase, agents detect the cyber attacks through predictive anomaly detection based on set-membership conditions. Once an attack is identified, the affected agents apply stored control sequences (altruistic control) and may reconfigure their network topology (for example, by disconnecting from compromised parent links) to isolate the threat. This adaptive response enables the formation to quickly recover and resume proper trajectory tracking toward the mission waypoints.
