Two days on
open science

The audience at the Vancouver ATScience event for AtmosphereConf 2026A participant at the IOSP 2026 conference in Leiden

ATScience teams up with the Institute of Open Science Practices (IOSP) for two days on the tools, communities, infrastructure and institutions shaping the future of open science, and on the gaps we still need to fill together.

ATProto gives open science a shared network: decentralized, interoperable and resilient, where researchers own their identities, connections and data.

Newcomers are welcome. You don't need to be building on — or even have heard of — ATProto. Join us and meet the community.

What we're looking for

We welcome researchers studying, builders creating, and anyone thinking about these topics or, more broadly, open science and the open social web. So if you don’t see your topic, we still want to hear from you!
