Code for Science & Society

Mission

Code for Science & Society works to advance the power of data to improve the social and economic lives of all people through public education, scientific research, and technology development and deployment.

Our work aims to improve the public’s ability to find, collect, and share the open data they use to make more informed decisions in the benefit of the public interest.

Our mission steers CS&S to examine the context surrounding how data can “improve the social and economic lives of all people through public education, scientific research, and technology development and deployment.”

Through engagement with ideas and conversations around data, our mission guides how we engage with data, research, education, and tech communities, including people who have been historically excluded from these fields.

Today we interpret the public interest framing of our mission as an opportunity to invest in and partner with projects that shift power to those who have been historically excluded from technology and science.
