September 2018 until February 2019
For the 4th round of the Prototype Fund we have picked an additional thematic focus in addition to the four basic pillars of the program, Civic Tech, Data Literacy, Data Security and Software Infrastructure:
Open Source as a principle has the potential to empower users and to improve the Internet in regard to parameters such as decentralization, openness and security. These projects implement this approach in exemplary fashion.
