Open Science Week

Celebrating Open Science Stories

Now in its fifth year, Open Science Week will take place Sept. 16-22, 2024. Leaders, producers, educators and users of open science are encouraged to engage with this campaign. A celebration of open science in all its forms – Open Science Week calls attention to scientists and organizations who share their tools, resources and data openly to accelerate research and discovery.

What is Open Science?

Open science is a set of principles, practices, and standards for making scientific resources openly available to the community, including scientists, students, and the public. Here at the Allen Institute, that includes our datasets, analysis and visualization software, lab protocols, cell lines, and much more.  

Brains, Cells, & Immune Systems: 20 Years of Impact at the Allen Institute

On September 28, 2023, we hosted an open public event at the Allen Institute celebrating and reflecting on our contributions to open science over the past 20 years.

The event will included science talks by our researchers on foundational knowledge of the brain, the cell, and the immune system—and discussions on what this work means for understanding life and advancing health.
