-The **OLS** program is for people interested in **applying open principles** in their work and **becoming Open Science ambassadors** in their communities.
-
-# About
-
-This is a **16-week long personal mentorship and cohort-based training**, where participants (organisers, hosts, mentors and project leads/mentees) of this program will:
-- **share** their expertise and gain knowledge essential to create, lead, and sustain an Open Science project
-- **connect** with members across different projects, communities, backgrounds, and identities
-- **empower** each other to become effective Open Science ambassadors in their communities
-
-Participants join this program with a **project** that they either are already working on or want to develop during this program **individually or in teams**.
-
-![OLS schedule overview. In the middle, the timeline represents the 16 weeks. On the top, boxes in green represent the 8 different cohort calls pointing to the corresponding weeks (even week numbers). Below the week timeline, blue boxes represent the mentor-mentee meetings pointing to the uneven number weeks. Below the blue boxes, are red boxes corresponding to 3 skill-up calls: "GitHub tutorial for beginners" (week 5), "Open Leadership: Academia, industry, and beyond" (week 9), "Self-care & social call" (week 1s)](/images/schedule.png){: .schedule-overview}

+      Starting in 2024 and for 3 years, the team will deliver five 6-week Virtual Cohorts per year. The cohorts will include guided reflection and hands-on implementation of open science concepts, processes, and techniques. This program will teach one OpenCore Module per week, by bringing in expert speakers from across different scientific domains, allowing learners to actively embed their training in their work and reflect on their learning with a mentor.
