At the Open Molecular Software Foundation, we believe in the power of open science as a catalyst for accelerated innovation.
## Mission

# Our Mission
* Advance of the molecular sciences through the development of high-quality, open-source software.
* Foster the growth of sustainable communities dedicated to research software development.
* Bridge industry and academia to facilitate collaboration, building a hub of experts in molecular sciences.
Advance humanity’s ability to understand and shape the physical world through open technologies.

We stand for the creation, iteration, and proliferation of high quality open molecular software. Welcome to OMSF!
## Vision
* Bring the people together across organizations to solve the right problems and celebrate the best solutions in the field and raise the field’s standards as a whole.
* Enable scientists to build on the best collective innovations by providing open tools that anyone can try and build upon.
* Provide transparency and confidence in modern computational tooling by defining industry standard benchmarks and metrics while evolving the benchmarking culture.

# Our Goals

**Accelerate scientific, technical, and commercial progress** through rapid dissemination of knowledge and research tools in computational molecular sciences, following open science principles.

**Improve modeling accuracy, quality and the overall user** experience through more rigorous and sustainable research software development practices and continuous method validation.

**Improve sustainability and reduce software development costs** across industry and academia by pooling resources, eliminating duplication of efforts, sharing know-how and allowing reuse of software components through open licenses.

**Remove or reduce barriers to collaboration** between industry and academia by providing a clear legal and organizational framework, while making all collaboration materials and results available to the general public.

**Create a hub of experts in molecular sciences** committed to improving research software development and application practices by connecting all interested stakeholders -- researchers, developers and funders -- and providing organizational support

# What We Do

Our unique position allows us to put your project at the intersection of academia and industry, giving you the best of both. Our lean approach allows you to maximize your project’s impact while building from a community of respect and inclusion. Take a look at our current [projects](https://omsf.io/programs/projects/) - we are proud of their continued success!

As a fiscal sponsor, we provide necessary operational support. As a community, we host a vibrant ecosystem. We strive to be a place where research software engineers, students, and industry professionals can have their work recognized and voices heard. To see our latest progress, head over to our [community blog](https://blog.omsf.io/).

Since 2021, OMSF has been a proud sponsor of open source software and open science. If you’d like, head over to our [resources](https://omsf.io/resources/fiscalsponsorship/) page for more information. Feel free to contact us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
