Edgeryders is a social enterprise, and an open and distributed think tank of people working through an online social network and a series of conferences.
Edgeryders started out as a project of the Council of Europe and the European Commission in 2011[1] and evolved into a volunteer-driven online/offline community by 2013.[2]
Today, there is also the not-for-profit company Edgeryders, living in symbiosis with the online community. As a company, Edgeryders works with communities on funded research, development and social innovation projects in a model they call "open consulting".[3]
Among the most visible of Edgeryders' projects is the unMonastery which began with a pilot in Matera, Italy[4] as well as the Science Fiction Economics Lab[5] and OpenCare.[6]
