# About the strategic plan

> start open, stay open.
The Materials Genome Foundation is openly developing their first [strategic plan] to promote open science adoption in materials science and manufacturing.
This strategic plan is an open living document. Currently, it is a work in progress as we prepare to release a 2024 strategic plan.

## About this Document

The Materials Genome Foundation is established to realize a vision for open materials science.
An enduring Materials Genome Foundation will remain aware of the needs of the next generation workforce. A sustainable plan can adapt as goals are met or cultural needs in the open materials science ecosystem shift.

The MGF begins their commitment to openness by making their strategic plan an open, living document that can adapt to a rapidly changing technology landscape. New visions, goals, and objectives can be adopted as past objectives are met. Calendar versioning will be used to distribute the strategic plans as software packages containing:

* The markdown source contents
* An exported PDF version of the document.
* Tooling to build the strategic plan.

More information in the [developer documents](DEVELOPER.md).

# Executive Summary

```{admonition} MGF Vision
Advance open materials science innovation by providing community services that increase open materials software, data, and research literacies.
Advance open, collaborative materials science innovation through community leadership, content, and training that increase open materials software, data, and research literacies.

The Materials Genome Foundation <abbr title="Materials Genome Foundation">MGF</abbr> is established - with funding through [__Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems__ NSF-<abbr title="Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems">POSE</abbr>][POSE] #[2229690][2229690] - to increase access to materials science and manufacturing literacy.
It builds off the open source successes of endorsed projects stemming from the [PyCalphad] ecosystem including [Kawin] and [ESPEI].
Materials science and manufacturing are facing increasingly complex engineering challenges that outpace traditional modes of research and development.
Our proposed initiatives provide tools that support a diverse, inclusive materials communities practicing open science that addresses emerging, interdisciplinary engineering problems.

These successes are demonstrated by programs like [NASA-TOPS](https://science.nasa.gov/open-science/transform-to-open-science "Transform to Open Science") or [LIGO](https://universe.sonoma.edu/moodle/mod/url/view.php?id=29) and at institutions like the [NIH](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5852639/) and [USGS](https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/year-of-open-science/).

The Materials Genome Foundation will serve a complemntary role relative to established funding, policy, and infrastructure efforts. The MGF use traditional funding pathways along with open science funding, and the culture will be organically established through open governance. We'll build tools and infrastructure that connect the community and promote inclusive, diverse, open materials science.
