*Overview of the topic and specific themes of the<br>
3rd Thematic IASC-??Conference on Knowledge Commons *<br>
<br>
Building upon the successful 2012 and 2014 thematic IASC conferences on<br>
knowledge commons, this third conference aims to look at the normative<br>
effects and institutionalization of the many initiatives based on knowledge<br>
commons and how commons provide new legal tools, public policy choices, and<br>
forms of social, economic and governance innovations. To this purpose the<br>
conference aims to take stock of the latest developments in public policies<br>
and legal initiatives around knowledge commons, as well as how the attempts<br>
to give a proper legal definition of commons in different countries bring<br>
changes in law and property regimes.<br>
<br>
The key questions that this conference will cover are the sustainability of<br>
knowledge commons that could be achieved by giving normative effects to the<br>
relationships and collectiveness they create, the possible articulation<br>
between grassroots commons movements and public policy, To such end,<br>
examples of governance models or legal revisions organizing commons in<br>
diverse countries will be studied, particularly as far as knowledge commons<br>
are concerned.<br>
<br>
The International Association for the Study of the Commons<br>
(IASC), founded in 1989 as The International Association for the Study<br>
of Common Property (IASCP), is devoted to bringing together<br>
multi-??disciplinary researchers, practitioners and policymakers<br>
for the purpose of improving governance and management,<br>
advancing understanding, and creating sustainable solutions for<br>
commons, common-??pool resources, or any other form of shared resource.<br>
