-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}

+As researchers, we value evidenced-based behaviours. This means one of our core focuses is creating the community-based, landscape and longitudinal analyses that inform open, equitable research practices. We aim to spread effective techniques and reduce ineffective techniques. Studies are run by experienced hands-on hands-on practitioners of open research and open community.
+
+## What makes us different:
+- Researchers with demonstrated track record in researching and influencing open.
+- Inclusivity and equity-focused approach to research: train and incubate independent research leaders, compensate contributors, foster collaborations.
