CoWorking News is very happy to announce and support the start of the empirical Coworking Study of the two psychologists Julia Andorfer (for Master Thesis) and Cornelia Gerdenitsch (for PhD) at the University of Vienna today. Cornelia and Julia are trying to find answers to the following questions: Is entrepreneur’s engagement boosted by social support? How […]

Many people regard Linux today as the most successful operating system in the world. Just a few facts: Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, Ebay etc. run their systems on Linux. 90% of today’s 500 fastest supercomputers run some variant of Linux, including the 10 fastest. That is what I call a success story!!! And the special […]

I like to invite you on a journey that for many people might sound a little crazy, but just give it a go. It will only cost you 5 minutes and I guarantee you a laugh in the video below: Noise is extremely powerful. It is very difficult to ignore and it will even have […]

Auf dieser Playlist stehen 43 Videos mit in Summe fast 16 Stunden Material zur Verfügung (u.a. mit dem Thema Inkubator und Coworking).  Als Einstieg empfehle ich jedoch das Video von Prof. Gerald Hüther – „Discover your potential“. (oder wie man/frau es wiederfindet :-)) oder (was wir von den Lachsen lernen können) Die Geschichte mit der […]

There are so many ways in which you can become a „Free Coworking Sponsor“.

Of course we did not just sit back and see what would happen, we actively promoted the idea of „Free […]

Already one of the great fruits of the widespread discussion on free coworking is the acknowledgement that paid coworking has lost its bearings in many instances. Alex Hillman on his blog dangerouslyawesome puts it like this: „MANY paid coworking spaces aren’t differentiating themselves from business centers and aren’t keeping in line with the coworking core […]

As I was just researching on an article on „Free Coworking“ , more precisely on „Free Coworking Grants“, I noticed something that we should become more aware of. In trying to make a better coworking world, we run the danger of becoming slaves to an apparently „cozy“ but artificial design world. In doing so, we […]

I just saw on Google Groups that there is a great opportunity for people who cannot make it to Austin to take part in the discussions tomorrow (8th of March). Claire Rodriguez is setting up various Google Hangouts (Panellists), (Unconference). As we will not be able to be in Austin this could be a great […]

Currently I see two very important developments in coworking. One is the increase in collaboration between coworkers for example in the jelly coworking mode (example Jellyweek). Secondly I see more collaborations between spaces and coworking operators like in Prague and Seattle ( as described in this article below). Both developments use „Free Coworking“ and help to […]
