One of those days when i'm just really, really grateful to be working with an incredible team + community at @investinopen ✨

As we work through close to 200 #openinfrastructure fund applications (3x of what we expected), i'm thankful for team members carving time out of their busy days to check proposals, reviewers who went above and beyond to help recruit more reviewers, reviewers who said yes on short notice

Thank you all!

In our latest blog post, @scedmunds chats with @Iratxe, the new Director of Make Data Count, about the importance of evaluating #dataUsage & impact, MDC's work toward open data metrics, & what’s next for the initiative. Read more here: https://doi.org/10.5438/gtvr-xe96

Please boost if you think #OpenDataMetrics are important! 🚀

📢 Funding opportunity!

We're thrilled to launch the Open Infrastructure Fund pilot, which offers 5-25k USD to projects worldwide that strengthen resilience + increase adoption of #openinfrastructure underpinning research & scholarship.

We are committed to reserving at least 60% of the funds available to applicants working in/services widely adopted in Low and Middle Income Economies (LMIEs).

Applications are accepted in both Spanish and English.

Good things come in threes? I've written another guest blog post, this time over at LibTech Insights:
"The Curious Case of Open Source in (Academic) Libraries in the Nordics"

How can funding for #openinfrastructure in Africa be more diverse and sustainable? Last month, we facilitated a workshop in Accra, Ghana aimed at addressing the challenge.

Find out the range of possibilities discussed in our blog post 👇

https://investinopen.org/blog/collaboratively-exploring-solutions-to-the-funding-challenge-for-open-infrastructure-in-africa/

🤔 How should we spend 130,000USD on #openinfrastructure for research?

Should we distribute that as microgrants or larger concentrated grants? Have parts of the fund dedicated to parts of the world?

Let us know in our pilot design survey by May 8!
