The Cohere Labs Open Science Community is led by the interests of our members.
Active community members step forward to propose and lead programs to benefit others in the community. When adequate interest is establish, these members earn the title "Community Lead" for their domain, and benefit from the support of Cohere Labs staff to run their programs.
This page has a run-down of all active community-led programs. Click through to learn more about the activities of each.
Join our Google Calendar group so that we can invite you to our events! You can also find all events listings on the top left of Discord.
