Hi all,
**Please see below an opportunity that may be of interest to members on this list, apologies for cross-posting**
Are you a change maker, data tinkerer, web wrangler or UX champion? Would you like to get involved in a movement to move science from a closed-access, commercially-governed system to a more open, transparent and collaborative enterprise?
There’s lots to do to bring the power of the web and modern technologies to scientific research and discovery. Would you be able to help?
In association with Mozilla Global Sprint 2018, eLife is hosting a two-day sprint to challenge members of the community to prototype new ideas that bring cutting-edge technology to open research communication.
We invite you — whether developer, designer, data scientist, technologist, innovator or researcher — to apply today to participate in the eLife Innovation Sprint on May 10-11 in Cambridge. Find out more at:
https://elifesci.org/innovationsprint2018.
Applications will remain open until 9am GMT on Monday March 5. We aim to communicate final decisions by March 23.
At eLife, we’re working to accelerate discovery in the life sciences by improving the way researchers share their latest findings. We’re a non-profit supported by research funders and led by scientists. We believe in transparency, reproducibility and openness in science. As part of our work, we develop open-source technologies to support the online communication of outstanding work in the life sciences.
I would be happy to answer any questions; and FAQs are posted at

Naomi
