Nairobi, Kenya & Berlin/Dresden, Germany on December 16, 2025: ScienceOS, an AI-powered research workspace designed to support rigorous, transparent, and efficient scientific work, today announces a strategic partnership with Access 2 Perspectives (A2P), a scholarly training and consulting organization dedicated to globally inclusive research management and communication grounded in Open Science principles.
The partnership brings together ScienceOS’s modular, researcher-controlled AI tools with Access 2 Perspectives’ deep expertise in Open Science training, capacity building, and equitable knowledge production. Together, the organizations aim to empower researchers, educators, and institutions—particularly in underrepresented regions—to work more effectively, transparently, and inclusively.
Expanding Access and Capacity Through Community Benefits
As part of the collaboration, the Access 2 Perspectives community will receive exclusive discount codes for ScienceOS, ensuring broader access to advanced research workflows. These codes will be shared directly through A2P’s community channels and programs, enabling researchers, trainers, and practitioners to explore ScienceOS in their own work and educational settings.
ScienceOS enables users to organize projects, analyze literature, generate structured outputs, and work with their own curated references, making it especially valuable for region-specific research contexts and locally relevant sources that are often underrepresented in global databases.
Partnership Value for the Access 2 Perspectives Community
Access 2 Perspectives will integrate ScienceOS into its internal workflows, training programs, and community engagements, using the platform to:
- Support Open Science–aligned research practices, specifically literature search and discovery
- Enhance research training and education programs
- Enable flexible, transparent use of diverse and regionally relevant sources
- Improve efficiency and clarity in scholarly communication
By combining practical tooling with pedagogical expertise, the partnership strengthens A2P’s ability to support researchers navigating complex research and publishing environments.
Henri Max Deda, CEO at scienceOS, on the partnership:
“Open Science is not just a guiding design principle for us, it is a vision for a world where knowledge and ideas flow freely, and collaboration knows no boundaries. When data and research are accessible, more people can contribute, bringing diverse perspectives that spark innovation and deepen understanding. By partnering with Access 2 Perspectives, we join forces with a team that shares our passion for inclusivity and transparency, and together we aim to create opportunities for researchers everywhere to participate fully and learn continuously.”
Nancy Nyambura, Project Manager at Access 2 Perspectives, about the announcement:
“ScienceOS offers an option to upload references of choice, and this makes it more flexible when working with region-specific or locally relevant sources. This aligns with our efforts at Access 2 Perspectives to support globally inclusive research practices. Through this partnership, our community will have an opportunity to experience these benefits themselves, enhancing their research and education workflows.”
Dr. Johanna Havemann, Director at Access 2 Perspectives, reflecting on the partnership:
“This partnership with scienceOS strongly reflects our mission at Access 2 Perspectives: to enable more equitable, transparent, and context-aware research practices worldwide. In our view, scienceOS is not just a dedicated and values-committed AI tool in the research arena; it also provides an enabling infrastructure that respects researcher autonomy while offering powerful support for sense-making, learning, and communication through AI-powered, responsible literature search and discovery. We are particularly excited about what this means for our community, greater access to practical AI-supported workflows, grounded in Open Science values, and suited for the diverse regional and disciplinary research contexts we support with our work. We look forward to building new training formats, shared learning experiences, and long-term impact together”
