The Manchester Manifesto
UPDATE: The launch of The Manchester Manifesto has attracted a great deal of attention. Read our Responses.
The Manchester Manifesto, launched in late November 2009, is a response to the threat posed by the current system of Intellectual Property. The document has its origins in the Institute’s launch event during which we considered the question of ‘Who Owns Science?’.
