Over the course of the past 18 months, we’ve also found our greatest successes in meeting the community where they are both in terms of skills and levels of awareness, working with them to support and amplify their work rather than the other way around. Through our work with Software Carpentry, we’ve also gained insight to the gaps in training in research settings globally, and the areas we can support as Mozilla across programs and pedagogy, rather than taking a boutique approach. | Over the course of the past 18 months, we’ve also found our greatest successes in meeting the community where they are both in terms of skills and levels of awareness, working with them to support and amplify their work rather than the other way around.

==2015 goals (and elevator pitch)== | |||
In 2015, we’ll be further exploring how we can, along with the community, build the supports for truly scalable and connected learning that incentivizes long-term engagement, from curriculum in data to train-the-trainers and a fellowship program. Beyond our learning strategy, we’ll also be focusing on how to engage and foster best practice in open research through technical projects with the community, and hone our engagement strategy to tie these efforts together. | In 2015, we’ll be further exploring how we can, along with the community, build the supports for truly scalable and connected learning that incentivizes long-term engagement, from curriculum in data to train-the-trainers and a fellowship program.

'''FELLOWSHIPS''' - | *'''FELLOWSHIPS''' - Our fellowship program empowers early career researchers to become open science community leaders. They will serve as our lead mentors and help empower members of the research community. | ||
''' | *'''TRAINING''' - We offer skills training workshops and materials for the research community around open practices and data. We provide the community with pathways to learn the methods and tools to do more open science on the web. | ||
'''SPRINTS + PROTOTYPING''' | *'''SPRINTS + PROTOTYPING''' - We work with the community to build prototypes to test out ideas that further open, web-enabled science. Through our sprints, local events, and online platform, we provide a means for the community to collaborate on code to share within the broader research community. | ||
'''MENTORSHIP''' | *'''MENTORSHIP''' - We provide members of the research community with the supports needed to start local conversations in their communities. By supporting a community of peers working, learning and teaching one another, we will foster a network of open science champions. | ||
''' | *'''EVENTS''' - We host and facilitate events to bring together the open research community on a global and local scale. Through events such as the Mozilla Festival, global sprints, coding challenges and study groups, we provide a place for the open science community to come together, share skills and experiences, and connect. | ||

* Applying Mozilla's | * Applying Mozilla's values to further research on the web - The Science Lab takes the values and fabric of the Manifesto and applies them to furthering "open" practice in scientific research. This involves a focus on open technologies, fostering collaboration and best practice, interoperability both socially and technically, and building on-ramps for researchers to gain the skills needed to further their work on the web. For a look at how these values map to the sciences, [[ScienceLab/OpenResearchMap|see v.0 of our "Open Research Map"]]. | ||
* Global | * Global as well as by topic/issue/specialty – The Science Lab community is a global one, and community members are grouped together by interest in topics/issues and member organizations which are tied to both key regions and topics. | ||
