The document describes the P2PVALUE project, a consortium of universities and research centers aiming to foster commons-based peer production (CBPP) through an empirically grounded techno-social software platform. The platform will be designed to enhance value creation and support sustainable CBPP communities using examples like Wikipedia, Arduino, and Couchsurfing. The scientific objectives are to develop CBPP theory, metrics to incentivize participation, simulate sustainability models, and provide policy recommendations to public administrations. Expected achievements include developing and deploying the collaborative platform and maintaining an open CBPP archive.
