A Community Response to the UNESCO global call for best practices in investing in open science infrastructures | 15 July 2022 | Invest in Open Infrastructure

In June, we collaborated with the Turing Way, the Tools, Practices & Systems (TPS) Programme at the Alan Turing Institute, and Open Life Science to host a series of community workshops to gather input for a community response to this Global Call.
