Our philosophy
About open source and open science.
Our mission
We believe that science and research should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we focus on open source software and close collaboration with the research community. Accessibility also means usability and interoperability, which is why we advocate for the use of open interfaces and user-centered designs. Our mission is to lower the barriers for researchers and reporters in their daily work, enabling them to share their research information and present their research.
Open Source
OSIRIS is an open source software developed together with the community. Everyone can view, modify, and distribute the source code, and even people who are not involved in software development can contribute through tickets and feature requests. We are convinced that open source is the best way to develop software that can be used by everyone. OSIRIS is released under the MIT license and will remain freely available forever.
