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. At the Allen Institute, we’ve been a pioneer in open science since 2003, removing barrier to knowledge and empowering researchers around the world to pursue their own discoveries.

Open Science Week is our annual celebration of these goals and this effort. To read more about this initiative, and to see stories of open science in action, visit the Open Science Week page.
