Rufus Pollock - Open Knowledge Foundation

“People say that knowledge is power, well open knowledge is empowerment”

From government spending or cultural heritage to the results of scientific research and the ingredients in our food, the Open Knowledge Foundation aims to make accessible information on all aspects of our lives. In the century of information Rufus Pollock believes that data must be universally shared and utilized in a way that scrutinizes authority and informs the public.

Rufus started with UK policy based activism and now through the Open Knowledge Foundation works around the world systematically removing the legal, technical, and social barriers in the way of creating a true open information society.
