The 6th edition of Funding the Commons took place on 15-16 July with the beautiful backdrop of Paris, France. The event was hosted at the renowned Sorbonne Université, which has the distinction of being one of the two oldest universities in Europe, with origins dating back to the 12th century. This installation of Funding the Commons was timed as the perfect complement to the Ethereum Community Conference, which took place the following day and just a short walk from the university. Paris was our key in-person event during 2023 and was unique in its incorporation of open space technology and other unconference-style programming, in addition to keynote speakers and panel discussions. This format enabled even more connection amongst participants, and led to the formation of new collaborations and projects. In addition to in-person attendance, the talks happening on the mains stage during the two-day event were live-streamed. If you were unable to attend in-person, you can watch the talks here.
