About SCOSS
The Global Sustainability Coalition for Open Science Services (SCOSS) (https://scoss.org/) is a network of influential organizations committed to helping secure the sustainability of Open Science Infrastructure.
By Open Science Infrastructure, we primarily mean the non commercial organizations whose tools and services are essential to the delivery of Open Science, but whose work is so often invisible to those who depend upon them.
SCOSS provides the framework and funding structure, vetting potential candidates based on a defined set of criteria. The most eligible of those that pass the vigorous evaluation are then presented to the global community of Open Science stakeholders with an appeal for monetary support in a crowdfunding-style approach.
Having successfully supported two cohorts of organizations seeking funding, we are seeking the views of our stakeholders and the wider research community about Open Science Infrastructure, the mechanisms through which it should be supported, and what role SCOSS should play.
