The Future of Science is Continuous
Science is evolving. Research today is fueled by vast data, open collaboration, and interactive storytelling. Yet, existing tools and standards have not kept pace. The Continuous Science Foundation is here to change that.
CSF Banff Workshop:
Energizing a Movement and Framing What’s Next
In Banff, Alberta, from May 27–29, 2025, we gathered a diverse group of researchers, infrastructure builders, funders, open-science advocates and change-makers to imagine a new future for scientific communication. The Continuous Science Foundation workshop wasn’t a typical meeting of minds.
We surfaced what’s beneath: finality, tensions and legacy mindsets. But also sparks of change: stories, tools, and a hunger for something more open, more connected. We made science human again—through personas and lived experience. We wrestled with complexity. Voted with our values. And began shaping a new paradigm—one that stacks, shares, builds, remixes and grows. We called it Composable Science. Not just a model. A mindset. Modular. Discoverable. Creditable. Reusable.
Dive deeper into the workshops outputs, take them, reuse and remix them:
Our mission is to connect data, software, and storytelling—supporting the people and systems advancing the reuse of science.
About CSF
Continuous Science Foundation (CSF) is a Canadian registered non-profit organization, operating under the 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsorship of Rapid Science in the US, aimed at transforming scientific research to be open. CSF focuses on developing high quality open-source tooling, open publishing standards, and leading practices that facilitate rapid and continuous knowledge sharing, enhance machine readability, and reproducibility in scientific publishing.
The Evolution of Open Science
The way we conduct and communicate science is changing. It’s no longer about static publications—it’s about continuous updates, open collaboration, and rapid knowledge-sharing.
