What is the #Independent_Society_of_Knowledge?
--> Science and engineering has been predominantly taught in academia, many places through centuries has been made to gather minds of their time (and mostly their place) in the form of an institute or university. giving them a place to work on their researches and giving lectures to the next generation. Academia has now become a property to distinguish advanced societies from other.
But some of the disadvantages of a classic academia lies beneath the spatial coordinates that they would have. In order to work with a professor at Harvard, you must be at Harvard. leaving true collaboration to be only possible for a few lucky ones.
--> Decentralization is the process by which the activities of an organization, particularly those regarding planning and decision-making, are distributed or delegated away from a central, authoritative location or group and given to smaller fractions within it. One of the main goals of Independent Society of Knowledge is to achieve decentralized academia, be it research programs between people from all over the world, or lectures accessible for people of the society.
--> We have the objective to make collaboration in science and between science and economy, easy, open, and better thatn before. Through designing platforms that would able The Knowledge Society to get their knowledge to the economy and use and upgrade latest technologies in the world to make better tools for scientists and engineers. We believe that decentralization makes a great impact on how science would progress in this century.
--> For out initial program, we are developing software and libraries used by many scientists in a more general, abstracted way. By binding older codes which are not human readable and writing new codes, using better and more advanced technologies and frameworks, we initiated many libraries that we are going to work on, public and open-source for collaboration.
Thus, to explain ISK we have to consider its initial phase as a software development organization and leading later to be a decentralized academia. The paper attached to this post will explain in more depth what is ISK all about.
ISK is a decentralized academia, for open and accessible collaboration of scientists all around the globe.
