The lasting impact and application of HvA research: Etherport
In this video, HvA researcher Sepp Eckenhaussen explains how his practice-based research project led to the tool Etherport. What is special about this project is that the tool was transferred to and is managed by a collective of cultural organisations. They ensure that Etherport is available for use by other cultural organisations. The tool was developed at the Netwerkcultuur research group at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam, Faculty of Digital Media Creative Industry.

From research project to application
Etherport is an open source tool developed for cultural organisations to create event reports with. The tool makes it easy to document and report on events with an audience. In a single online application, you write, edit and publish event reports in hybrid form – online and offline: as a web post as well as an automatically generated print version. The tool offers attractive options for, among other things, automated design, the use of personal templates, the creation and publication of multi-media content and a system that makes event reports easily searchable. As such, Etherport also has the potential to fuel future public debates.
Etherport was created in collaboration between the Hogeschool van Amsterdam and the Hogeschool Rotterdam. Cultural organisations involved are The Hmm, Amateur Cities en Open Source Publishing. Special thanks go to Etherport’s lead partner, Gijs de Heij of Brussels collective Open Source Publishing, for all the technical development and hosting of Etherport.
