We are thrilled to announce that the pilot cohort of Seeds to Systems will run from September to November 2026.
Seeds to Systems is a cohort-based training and mentoring programme designed for individuals and teams leading open initiatives, research communities of practice, or volunteer-run research initiatives. It builds directly on OLS's experience running Open Seeds and extends that support to projects at a more advanced stage of development.
The curriculum centres on organisational infrastructure for project and community sustainability: the practical knowledge, skills, and networks needed to lead a project over time, navigate the research funding landscape, and build the conditions that enable long-term impact.
