NumFOCUS (Numerical Foundation for Open Code and Useable Science) was founded in 2012.[1], it is a 501(c)(3) public charity organization in the United States. NumFOCUS was founded in 2012 by Fernando Pérez, Jarrod Millman, Perry Greenfield, and Travis Oliphant. Current Board of Directors consists of Sylvain Corlay, Logan Kilpatrick, Rosie Pongracz, James Powell, Katrina Riehl, and Stéfan van der Walt.[2] The organization is located in Austin TX, USA. [1] The mission of NumFOCUS is to promote open practices in research, data, and scientific computing by serving as a fiscal sponsor for open source projects and organizing community-driven educational programs [3][4]

In 2020 NumFocus partnered with IRIS (Institute for Research on Innovation & Science) and Duality Technologies to create a platform for privacy-preserving collaboration data analysis. [5]. The PyData Yerevan 2022 was hosted in collaboration with NumFOCUS, the American University of Armenia and the College of Science and Engineering of Armenia. The organization is involved in organizing educational programs, events, as well as supporting open source scientific computing projects through fiscal sponsorship.

Educational Programs

[edit]

The NumFOCUS organisation and project participate in a number of programs to incentivize contribution from students and encourage diversity in tech. Every year, NumFOCUS participate to Google Summer of code[6], and Outreachy[7].
