Hello, live from the ows.eu consortium meeting in Ostrava! We are the #OpenWebSearchEU initiative, having joined forces to promote Europe’s independence in Web Search.
The goal: to develop an open European infrastructure for web search. Our initiative will be contributing to Europe’s digital sovereignty as well as promoting an open human-centered search engine market.

Since today we are – finally – on Mastodon. Nice to be here!

Congrats to @osf & Uni Kassel on their new project PriDI – Privacy-enhancing Digital Infrastructure which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

The project is researching how an #OpenWebIndex can be designed in conformity with fundamental rights and in such a way that it protects #privacy.

The legal implications of a European #OpenWebIndex are a key area of our research as well. We hence look forward to insightful project developments:
