Open Source Conference Luxembourg

A Humanitarian Cyber Commons for cybersecurity and AI

With humanitarian and international actors in the conference community, this session co-creates a vision and wish-list for a Humanitarian Cyber Commons — shared, open and trustworthy data, tools and AI capabilities that help protect vulnerable populations and the organisations serving them — and turns it into a high-level, preliminary and non-committing roadmap of deliverables. Together, participants collect needs against guiding principles (strategic autonomy, neutrality, data protection, digital dignity), and identify candidate use cases and potential partners to join.

The roadmap is structured around two inputs: (a) the requirements and requests received from stakeholders, and (b) the deliverables already foreseen within our established Luxembourg Cybersecurity Factory Cyber Commons work programme.
The session then invites the audience to say what is missing from the roadmap and, realistically, in what timeline each item is genuinely needed — "yesterday" not being an accepted answer.

Output: white paper (Chatam house rules), to be distributed to the participants only, including a draft vision statement, a prioritised wish-list, and candidate use cases and partnerships.
