UCL has a long history of open-source software development and open research. Openness and inclusion form part of UCL's core values.
These pages are dedicated to supporting and promoting open-source software and materials by UCL staff and students. We are also in the process of building an Open Source Programme Office at UCL. For open research, the library has a dedicated Office for Open Science and Scholarship.
We have a few guides and links that you may find useful. In particular, UCL's position on open source software licenses.
Also in these pages you will find:
- Announcements of Activities & events that are happening in UCL (or nearby) related to open source.
- News related to Open Source that is of interest to the UCL community.
- Work done to create and consolidate the Open Source Programme Office, including talks given at conferences and funding proposals.
Our news page is available as an [RSS feed]({{"feed.xml" | prepend: baseurl}}), and our upcoming events as a published calendar.
Here are some of the open-source software projects in the UCL community that have a good OSSF Scorecard aggregate score:
