ABRIR is thrilled to share that our “Open Science for and from the Majority World” project has been awarded funding through the Open Research Community Accelerator (ORCA)!
Led by Nadia Saraí Corral-Frías and Melissa Flores at the University of Arizona, this collaborative initiative with ABRIR tackles a fundamental challenge: ensuring that open science truly serves and emerges from the global majority, not just the privileged few.
This transformative project goes beyond simply increasing representation—it reimagines open science practices through the lens of communities that have historically been marginalised in research.
With ORCA’s support, we’re building pathways for authentic collaboration that recognises the Majority World as both beneficiary and leader in open science innovation.
