The post World Laureates Association Launches OPENSCI to Pioneer a Future-Oriented Open Scientific Infrastructure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, February 6th, 2026, Chainwire The World Laureates Association (WLA) has officially announced OPENSCI, an assurance-focused open scientific infrastructure initiative that explores how next-generation digital technologies can support the long-term preservation, trusted verification, and collaborative use of scientific knowledge worldwide. Michael Gan, Co-Founder of KuCoin, currently serves as Deputy Secretary-General of the WLA and has been involved in advancing the Association’s work on open science and infrastructure. With support from the WLA’s preparatory teams, OPENSCI has been systematically designed and publicly released, marking an important step in the Association’s broader effort to strengthen the foundations of global scientific collaboration. OPENSCI was formally introduced during World Laureates Summit 2026 (WLS 2026) in Dubai. As a key annual gathering convened by the WLA, the summit brought together leading scientists—including Nobel Prize laureates—alongside government representatives and heads of public institutions, to engage in high-level dialogue on basic science, frontier technologies, and humanity’s long-term development. The launch of OPENSCI was recognized as one of the summit’s notable outcomes. Initiated by the WLA, OPENSCI is positioned as a forward-looking open scientific infrastructure—not just a research platform or funding mechanism. The initiative aims to connect established scientific research systems with decentralized and intelligent technologies, exploring new models for durable preservation, credible verification, and sustained accessibility of scientific knowledge, and providing foundational, long-term support for the global research community. Guided by a global advisory network that includes Nobel Prize laureates, and supported by contributors from leading university laboratories and advanced research institutions, OPENSCI enables research outputs, scientific hypotheses, and datasets to be recorded and validated in a structured way. By applying blockchain-based mechanisms, OPENSCI seeks to form a knowledge base that is transparent, traceable, and resilient over time, helping to create the conditions for cross-institutional and interdisciplinary collaboration. As Deputy Secretary-General of the…
