Anyone can become a Community Member by signing up here. This will add you to our contact list and subscribe you to our newsletter, ensuring that you are one of the first to hear about our news, events, and announcements.
Participating Membership
Our Participating Members form the active core of our community, driving collaboration and innovation in drug discovery. Through engagement in our programs, knowledge sharing, and new ways of working together, they help shape the future of open science. This community includes academics and industry researchers from our CACHE Challenges and DMOS program, but is open to anyone.
