Open, community-owned infrastructure is necessary for research to thrive.
Invest in Open Infrastructure is an initiative dedicated to improving funding and resourcing for open technologies and systems supporting research and scholarship. We do this by shedding light on challenges, conducting research, and working with decision makers to enact change.
About IOI >>Our Approach
We do research to provide guidance on ways to improve funding in the sector for open.
We study open infrastructure and its changing landscape, gather and analyze data, and craft reports to share those findings with decision makers, tool providers, and members of the research community.
