🔬🔬 What does it mean to rethink the cost of knowledge? For #OAWeek, five experts share their perspectives on #OpenScienceHardware, its value in research, and the opportunities it creates for more open and inclusive science. opensciencehardware.org/2026/10/reth... #OpenAccessWeek #OpenScience

⏳ 2 weeks left to nominate for the European Open Source Awards 2027! 👉 Nominate by 1 November: awards.europeanopensource.academy/nomination-p... #EOSAwards #OpenSource #EuropeanOpenSourceAcademy

🔊 #OpenAccessWeek starts today! Under the theme “The Cost of Knowledge,” we explore how #OpenScienceHardware can make knowledge more accessible and rethink its value and impact. Read our blog: opensciencehardware.org/2026/10/reth... #OAWeek #OpenScience

I’m so happy to finally publish this work! It’s been too-long in coming, but I think the result is a solid set of questions and directions for the OScH community to use as guidance for moving the field forward.

GREAT! I remember discussions about the need for something like this in Australia in 2009, so it is fantastic that this has come to reality.

Love reading announcements of resources that are built with and in support of open source infrastructure. The new Open Science Hardware Foundation Library relies on a collaboratively-curated @zotero.org group to populate its hub: opensciencehardware.org/2026/10/anno...

An engaged group, organized by @opensciencehw.bsky.social & partners, met last week to assess the state of open science hardware. OScH has matured, showing up in policy, funding calls, & research, but still bumps up against institutional norms. Conversations focused on building bridges. More soon!

Priority Programs Announcement We have exciting plans in the next three years to advance open science hardware into the mainstream as a key component of open science. #openscience #opensciencehardware #opensource #openhardware Read more here: opensciencehardware.org/2025/09/open...
