SCOSS

“SCOSS-supported open science infrastructure provides the scientific and scholarly community with resources and services to access, share, and assess research. SCOSS is a pragmatic approach to investing in open infrastructure; one that allows stakeholder institutions to participate in the direct and immediate funding of essential infrastructure. It is not the only pathway or means to invest in open infrastructure.”

— SCOSS website - What is SCOSS

For SCOSS, I am working together with participating infrastructures to develop strategies for achieving their funding goals, as well as to contribute to the general strategy of SCOSS.

I see this an exciting opportunity in a research ecosystem where research organizations and funders increasingly recognize the importance of open scholarly infrastructure and face important choices in how to spend their budget.
