Open sessions will be organized to meet at regular intervals to discuss current themes of research in the Sociocybernetic framework. The concepts to discuss are chosen taking into consideration the interests of the participants. The activity is based on ideas of co-learning and co-innovation.

The activity was launched in autumn 2024. TIME was chosen as the concept for the first sessions, and during the spring 2025 the concepts of ORDER, COMMUNICATION and SOCIETY were also discussed. As part of the discussions in these sessions, participants have shared many tips for interesting reading.

To gather these more systematically to function as continuous support for the RC51 Open Online Activity, we have created a group library in Zotero: https://www.zotero.org/. This resource was introduced in the session in March, and the participants of the future sessions will be invited to join the group library.

To continue with the activity, three sessions (17.9. & 29.10. & 3.12), will be organized in the autumn 2025 on Zoom at 3:00 – 4:30 pm Finnish time.

In the north autumn, the first session will take place on Zoom at 3:00 – 4:30 pm Finnish time on Wednesday 17th September 2025.
