Our story so far

Our Journey began in 2020, when a group of visionary researchers envisioned a collaborative association. A year later, I moved to Australia with my family and formalised the association in 2022. Since then, we have grown steadily by fostering a dynamic collaborative network, typically engaging seven associates per year. Our efforts have been entirely online, relying on the dedication and expertise of our associates. We have achieved remarkable milestones, including publishing 7 open science papers in just 2.5 years. Previously, our research was conducted under institutional affiliations; however, our work now stands independently under our association, which was pioneered by our dedication and vision.  

What makes us special


Our commitment to our Catholic faith is the compass that guides every decision we make. It calls us to a higher standard of integrity, service, and stewardship.


Flat Structure & Partnerships: Our flat managerial structure fosters engagement and partnerships. We believe this model, rooted in a spirit of collaboration and mutual respect, enables responsible interactions that lead to high-quality open science publications for the benefit of society.


Integrity: We operate with complete transparency, honesty, and ethical conduct. Our word is our bond, and our relationships with associates and stakeholders are built on trust.


Stewardship: As a not-for-profit, we are dedicated to the responsible use of our resources. We are actively working to attain charity status to further our mission and support governance in Australia
