Open-Source Science: Working with OSPOs to Accelerate Research in Health and Sustainability

Explore the Open-Source Science (OSSci) initiative in this 37-minute conference talk by Alexy Khrabrov and Tim Bonnemann from IBM. Learn about the global effort co-founded by IBM and NumFOCUS to organize open-source software ecosystems around critical research areas such as material science, drug development for rare diseases, and climate data platforms. Discover the three pillars of OSSci: supporting vibrant communities, mapping the OSS space to science, and identifying and addressing gaps in research. Gain insights into the initiative's setup, progress, Domain Interest Groups (DIGs), cross-cutting concerns like reproducibility, and the crucial role of Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) in building partnership networks to accelerate scientific research in health and sustainability.
