# COS Supporter Engagement Series

Informing and inspiring to help shape the future of scientific research

**An OSF Open-Source Ecosystem ⏐ **Friday, October 3 @ 12pm ET  
*Advancing open science through open-source partnerships*

For more than a decade, the Open Science Framework has enabled transparent, reproducible research practices for thousands of scientists and scholars. Now, OSF enters an exciting new phase of collaborative development with the global research community.

Join us to discover how we are leveraging open-source software development and community-building strategies to take OSF to the next level.

You’ll hear from OSF user-researchers, our partner developers, and COS staff about:

- How we are using open-source principles to enhance OSF capabilities
- What types of open research techniques will become easier for users to implement
- Examples of collaborative projects already underway
- How you can help us fuel more open science innovation
