OSSci Meetup: Increasing Research Impact Through Open Source and Open Data

Join us in discussing how we can increase research impact through Open Source and Open Data

The Open Source Science Initiative (OSSci) was officially announced at the SciPy conference in July 2022. We are excited to welcome you to our first community event!

Science must communicate. Digital assets have become a fundamental building block of scientific communication, including the sharing of results that need to be reproduced or replicated before they can be accepted as science. Open source software communities have evolved sophisticated technologies to share and organize digital assets according to principles that have enabled collaborations of unprecedented scales.

But there is a gap: university research groups are too often unaware of open source communities and practices that could accelerate insights in their research labs and classrooms. And open source communities, including many stakeholders in industry, too often fail to notice university research that could lead to high-impact innovation.

Join us for an exciting evening organized by a collaboration of NumFOCUS, the Open Source Program Office UC Santa Cruz, Open Source Science Initiative (OSSci), and IBM Research.
