WHAT WE DO
Openscapes is an approach and a movement that helps researchers and those supporting research find each other and feel empowered to conduct data-intensive science. Through a creative approach drawing inspiration and skills from many places, we provide structures for technical skill-building, collaborative teamwork, and inclusive community development. Here’s how:
ENGAGE
We welcome, and create space & place. We engage researchers who want to work better and collaborate through empathy, art, storytelling, and technology.
EMPOWER
We invest in learning & trust, and work openly. We empower researchers by growing their confidence and abilities as they put what they learn into practice quickly.
AMPLIFY
We leverage common workflows & tools, and inspire broader shifts. We amplify progress through collaboration and reuse, celebrating people and small wins that accumulate.
GROWING THE OPEN MOVEMENT
As part of the larger open science movement, Openscapes helps research teams and organizations reimagine data-intensive science and grow community-centered leadership skills.

“Because of Openscapes, I have renewed hope in how we can bring about a kinder future in science. I see a commitment in the open science community to bridging the gaps where we’ve left members of our community behind, and it inspires me.”

2021 Champion, Mentor, and Program Lead
“Openscapes isn’t just about coding and GitHub, it’s about changing how we do science”
