The eLife Innovation Sprint is a two-day collaborative event for developers, designers, technologists and researchers to collaboratively prototype innovations that bring cutting-edge technology to open research communication.
The current science publishing system is slow, expensive, ineffective and closed: most of the research output is locked behind paywalls and difficult to reuse, and contributions of researchers are not credited transparently nor appropriately. At eLife, we believe strongly that open-source technologies can help solve some of these problems.
Last year, 62 participants worked on 12 projects. At least five projects are being developed into fully functional products and have received further support from eLife as well as other organisations, such as the Wellcome Trust and the Mozilla Foundation.
