We actively contribute and promote the production, validation, sharing and use of Open Geospatial Data (based on the Open Knowledge Foundation licenses) and Open Source Software.
EMPOWER OPEN SOURCE MAKERS
We help researchers grow by connecting them with peer networks, improving their programming skills, and making their research more open and reproducible. We especially encourage and empower under-represented researchers (e.g. those from ODA-recipient countries and female researchers) through public and on-demand educational content.
