An initiative bringing together universities, research organizations, industry, and the open science community to make publicly funded research easier to discover, reuse, and build upon.
Today, we're announcing Project ProtoStar, an initiative to unlock the potential of publicly funded scientific research by making datasets, models, and code more accessible and reusable, particularly for AI-driven research. ProtoStar brings together research institutions, industry, and the open science community to support the release of scientific artifacts in AI-ready, machine-actionable formats, and to demonstrate their value through a series of open challenges. The first challenge, hosted by Carnegie Mellon University, opens on November 2. See How to Participate below.
