SCOSS 5th pledging awardees announced
“SCOSS is thrilled to announce the launch of its fifth pledging cycle. Both of the chosen projects are already an established and well-known infrastructure with high usage making an important contribution to open science. They need community support to innovate, broaden their global reach and to increase resilience and financial sustainability. We look forward to welcoming RDA and Software Heritage to the SCOSS Family.
On behalf of the SCOSS Board I extend my congratulations to the supported infrastructure for this round. Although the economic downturn and restricted budgets can make pledging more difficult, please do consider helping sustain priority open science infrastructure by pledging a percentage of your relevant budget to structurally help infrastructures on their way to sustainability.”
Martin Borchert, Chair of the SCOSS Board.
Now in its fifth year, SCOSS takes great pleasure in announcing two new Open Science infrastructure partners to join the SCOSS Family. After careful evaluation, SCOSS has selected the Research Data Alliance (RDA) and Software Heritage for this fifth funding cycle, organisations who are both seeking help in creating and maintaining sustainable futures.
We hope that you will consider contributing to one or both of these carefully chosen Open Science Infrastructures, as their future depends on community support. Let’s work together to build a healthy Open Science ecosystem!
