We’re excited to announce the 2027 edition of ATScience, a side event to AtmosphereConf 2027 in the Netherlands.

Our inaugural event last year was a blast, a full day of talks, demos and discussions in Vancouver. This year we’re doubling it to two days and teaming up with the Institute of Open Science Practices (IOSP) to explore the tools, communities, infrastructure and institutions shaping the future of open science, and on the gaps we still need to fill together.

The partnership brings together two complementary strengths. IOSP builds communities and practices at the forefront of new open science methods. The ATScience ecosystem brings broad networks of builders and researchers who can benefit from and help evolve those methods, along with the technical infrastructure for the apps and services that make up the new research stack, from data sharing to knowledge tools and publishing platforms.

ATScience x IOSP takes place on April 29–30, 2027.

Our call for proposals is now open! We’re following the main AtmosphereConf schedule, with two rounds:

  • Round 1: open now until November 30, 2026.

  • Round 2: January 11 to February 14, 2027.

If you’ll need visa support, please submit in round 1 so there’s time to arrange it.

You can propose a long talk, a lightning talk, a workshop, or a table at our demo bazaar. The demo bazaar is a new addition this year: for a few hours, the room will turn into a “science fair” where you can present your tool or research project to passers-by.

Broadly, we’re interested in science on the open social web, and in particular new ways of sharing, discovering, storing, organizing and funding research, built on open social and modular research protocols. You don’t need to be building on ATProto to take part. If your work touches these questions, we want to hear from you.
