Open-Source Science (OSSci) is a global initiative co-founded by IBM and NumFOCUS that aims to organize – with numerous partners from industry, academia, nonprofits, government agencies and international bodies – the OSS ecosystems around the research addressing key problems of humanity. The areas of science we engage with include

- material science to create new materials, including carbon-capturing ones,
- new drugs for rare diseases that are underresourced in current pharma research,
- climate data platforms to connect researchers around new models.

All of those efforts are powered by the next generation of big data and AI systems.

OSSci consists of three pillars:

1. Support vibrant communities around key OSS projects enabling science, with scientists leading the focus.
2. Mapping the whole OSS space to science with the help of the communities in (1), helping the domain experts understand the OSS landscape, avoiding duplication, and concentrating effort.
3. Identifying needs and gaps from the map in (2) and focusing resources on closing them

We outline OSSci setup and progress, bottom-up work of Domain Interest Groups (DIGs), cross-cutting concerns such as Reproducibility and the Map of Science, and partnership network buildout, where OSPOs play a key role.
