Just One Giant Lab (JOGL), a non-profit organization based in Paris, is the meeting place of an international community that creates solutions for a more just and sustainable world. The data, technologies and science shared on JOGL are citizen-generated and open-source, enabling people to build upon the collective knowledge of the community as a whole. We offer an alternative to the academic research model because we are passionate about making research and innovation more open, inclusive, and accessible. Talent and ingenuity exist everywhere. By partnering with university laboratories, companies, foundations, NGOs and public services to create open and participatory research programs, JOGL catalyzes open innovation and the design and implementation of real-world solutions to humanity's environmental, health and social problems.
