Open@RIT

A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:

RIT established Open@RIT, in 2020. It is an initiative dedicated to supporting all kinds of “open work,” including — but not limited to — open source software, open data, open hardware, open educational resources, Creative Commons licensed work, and open research.

Open work is non-proprietary — meaning it’s licensed to be publicly accessible and anyone can modify or share, within the terms of the license. While the original term, “open source” came out of the software industry, it has since become a set of values that has applications in everything from science to media.
