Organization affiliation helps groups participate in ORN as part of a broader open research ecosystem. It is designed for institutions and communities that want to share knowledge, increase visibility, and collaborate across domains.
Who can affiliate #
Organization affiliation is open to:
- universities, departments, research centers, and laboratories;
- scientific societies, working groups, and professional communities;
- non-profits, public-interest organizations, and foundations;
- open-source projects and research software communities;
- companies and groups contributing to open research infrastructure.
Why affiliate #
Affiliated organizations can share initiatives, discover collaborators, host or co-organize events, connect with students and contributors, and participate in projects that align with their mission.
The goal is not to centralize control. The goal is to create a reliable network where organizations can find each other, coordinate around shared needs, and make open research more sustainable.
