Funding opportunity: 2025 Digital Science Catalyst Grant

We are preparing an application to the Digital Science Catalyst Grant.

The proposal will be built around one of our goalposts: making OpenRefine more useful as an exploratory tool. This direction has already been discussed at the OpenRefine 2024 Barcamp: Making OpenRefine more useful as exploratory tool and in #5315.

You can find the application form here: Catalyst Grant application form.

We are drafting our proposal in this public document: OpenRefine Catalyst Grant proposal (Google Doc). Contributions and comments are welcome.

Application deadline: 12pm BST / 7am EDT, Monday 6 October 2025.
