Position Your Organization at the Center of Open Research
CHORUS forums and events connect the core pillars of the scholarly communications ecosystem: global funders, publishers, academic institutions and data service providers. Sponsoring puts your organization directly into those conversations, with visible brand alignment with open research and ways to measure your marketing impact.
Curated by our events working group, our online forums run year-round, tackling the sector’s most pressing compliance, metadata and infrastructure topics. By becoming a sponsor, you do not just support a nonprofit member body. You actively demonstrate your commitment to making open research work.
CHORUS is a nonprofit member organization supporting open research by connecting funders, publishers, academic institutions and service providers through shared data infrastructure, tools and community events.
