> Dear Kathy,
>
> In May, the IOI team launched calls for proposals for the Open
> Infrastructure Fund.
> <https://investinopen.civicrm.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=989&qid=7899> The
> Fund aims to strengthen sustainability and resilience and increase the
> adoption of open infrastructure worldwide. Our community co-designed the
> Fund through a series of participatory activities, which increased the
> accessibility of funding and helped pilot a more transparent way of funding
> open infrastructure. The application deadline is July 31, 2023, so if
> interested, make sure to submit your proposal before then.
>
> In June, we also held our second in-person workshop in Africa, adjacent to
> Open Repositories 2023. The workshop was a multi-sectoral forum to
> understand how best to synergise the public and private sectors to commit
> additional resources for African research infrastructure. We have
> summarised the key points in a blog post
> <https://investinopen.civicrm.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=990&qid=7899>
> that we hope you will find insightful.
>
> Internally, the IOI team has also been growing, with two new members
> joining in May and additional team members joining in the next few weeks.
> We have also been doing some strategic realignment to ensure that we are
> responsive to the community we serve and put in place the required
> processes and systems to be more efficient.
>
> For more on these stories and more, please dive into the newsletter. We

> IOI's core objective is to improve funding and resourcing for open
> technologies and systems for research and scholarship. In May, we launched
> the call for proposals for the Open Infrastructure Fund, an initiative to
> strengthen sustainability and resilience and increase the adoption of open
> infrastructure globally. Funding of 5,000-25,000 USD is available to
> support projects with capacity building, governance, and critical shared
> infrastructure as their focal areas. 60% of the grant funding has been
> reserved for Low and Middle-Income Economies as part of our resolve to
> bridge resourcing inequities. The deadline for applications is July 31,

> Our Executive Director, Kaitlin Thaney, has penned an op-ed in the LSE

> <https://investinopen.civicrm.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=994&qid=7899>
> that calls upon entities profiting from open research to actively reinvest

> *Recap of IOI workshop on sustainable research infrastructure in Africa*
>
> In June, we facilitated an in-person workshop in Somerset West, South
> Africa that focused on exploring how public-private partnerships (PPPs) can
> contribute to sustainable research infrastructures on the continent. This
> discussion was precipitated by our workshop in Accra, Ghana in March
> <https://investinopen.civicrm.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=995&qid=7899>
> where PPPs were suggested as a potential remedy to enhancing the
> sustainability of open research infrastructures. We invited a range of
> actors from the private sector, governments, and academia to explore how we
> can synergize between the private and public sectors to come up with
> sustainable models for investing in research infrastructure. We summarized
> the key learnings from the workshop on the IOI website.
