We are a community of multidisciplinary scientists who support all forms of Open Science practices by developing and delivering next-generation databases and tools using open source software, data and repositories. We advocate for a culture of sharing data and computational codes that leads to more transparency and reproducibility of methods. The three main sections in our website are Blog posts & Interviews, OPP Notes and Workshops & Talks.

Check detailed information about the members, institutions, knowledge domains and the global map of Open Plant Pathology members. Current domains include general Plant Pathology, Plant Disease Management, Epidemiology, Geophytopathology, Modeling, Machine Learning, Remote Sensing, Population Biology, Genomics, Microbial Ecology, Programming and Embedded Systems with more being added.
