How we do it

1. Identifying your purpose

You know what you want, but it can still be hard to articulate it clearly.

We help you identify your why, grounding all the work that happens after.

2. Gather people, generate ideas

Every gathering of people is unique - their ideas are the result of their interactions and won't happen again.

We help you identify your unique guestlist, the format, and host a brainstorm to get the input you need.

3. Curate ideas

We curate the ideas according to your purpose, to identify the design framework for your open infrastructure.

The design framework is then revised together with you, before we move to building towards your goals.

Minimum viable product

We want to get you up and running as quickly as possible - what must happen to do that?

The rest goes on the wishlist that we want to get to as well.

Continuous prototyping

We want you to know how things are progressing - we make regular and short video recordings for you to review.

This means you can report progress regularly without the need for progress meetings.

Strict project management

You will want to introduce new ideas, expand the scope of the work. We guard the clarity, so you don't have to.

This means you don't have to think about scope creep and we buffer you from changing internal demands.

Maintenance

We don't throw things over the fence - we ensure the infrastructure grows with new insights.

We help doing that care work with you, so that the shared resource evolves and improves.

Reliable help

Good maintenance requires responsive help that helps identify the problem and moves you forward.

We provide reliable assistance with a human touch.

Scaling with confidence

Nurturing can lead to success. Success leads to growth. Growth requires scaling the infrastructures.

We take care of all of that behind the scenes, so you can be confident your project runs flawlessly for 1,000 and 100,000 people.

Liberate Science supported us with the organization of a series of plenary events and a decentralized program of events across the globe. Working with them felt like working with an extension of our team and helped to reduce the stress around the planning, management, and execution of our events. I would certainly work with them again!

Haley Hazlett • Program Manager, DORA

[Liberate Science] supported the development of materials for inclusion in the Open Access Journals Toolkit, focusing on digital infrastructures. They provided great quality insights with an impressive turnaround time, building on their detailed understanding of many of the technologies used in scholarly communication. It's been a pleasure to work together, and we would be very happy to do so again in the future!

Andrea Chiarelli • Principal Consultant, Research Consulting

I worked with Chris [from Liberate Science] on preparing a Turing Way fireside chat and invited them as a speaker in an OLS cohort to talk about social enterprise. Chris is a pleasure to work with - they communicate really clearly around their requirements and expectations which makes them a reliable and trusted collaborator.
