Science must communicate. Digital assets have become a fundamental building block of scientific communication, including the sharing of results that need to be reproduced or replicated before they can be accepted as science. Open source software communities have evolved sophisticated technologies to share and organize digital assets according to principles that have enabled collaborations of unprecedented scales.
But there is a gap: university research groups are too often unaware of open source communities and practices that could accelerate insights in their research labs and classrooms. And open source communities, including many stakeholders in industry, too often fail to notice university research that could lead to high-impact innovation.
Join us for an exciting evening organized by a collaboration of NumFOCUS, the Open Source Program Office UC Santa Cruz, OSSci, and IBM Research.

Scott Brandt (moderator), Professor, Computer Science & Engineering, Associate Vice Provost for Research and Innovation at the University of California Office of the President and former UC Santa Cruz Vice Chancellor for Research
