PROGRAMME:

1. Introduction to the ELIXIR tools platformand development of software FAIR metrics

2. How We Are Supporting Essential Open Source Scientific Software: CZI’s EOSS Program

The majority of open source software for science is undervalued and lacks funding for maintenance, growth, development, and community engagement—especially after the initial phase when it’s linked to original research. At the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative we aim to support the people that work on this software to ensure long-term utility and value. The Essential Open Source Software for Science program supports domain-specific and foundational tools essential to conducting biomedical research. We will cover the current and future status of the program and our plans for community building and support beyond funding.
