CURIOSS: Community for University and Research Institution OSPOs

CURIOSS is set up to meet the need for a safe space dedicated to those in OSPOs in universities and research institutions. The community provides dedicated network-level resources to facilitate information sharing between OSPOs providing a space for candid information exchange via monthly community calls and yearly in-person meetings of the active members. CURIOSS was set up in 2023 with the support of a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

CURIOSS is developing resources for the community and beyond, supporting individual members who volunteer to lead working groups to create case studies, training materials, and other collaboratively authored documents as well as seeking opportunities to engage with external like-minded individuals, departments, and organizations.
