Free the Science is a business model-changing initiative that will make ECS journal content freely available to all readers, while remaining free for authors to publish. It embraces globalization, open access, democratization of information, and the simple fact that our fields are the science of society and sustainability. Running in the Free the Science 5K is one way you can help raise awareness and funds for this critical venture. Don’t feel like running? You can support free the science in many ways, including choosing to publish open access. Learn more about Free the Science.
