For open source. For education.
A new not-for-profit center
established at EPFL.
Focused on:
Our Mission

  • Independently guide and support the Scala community
  • Coordinate and develop open source libraries and tools for the benefit of all Scala users
  • Provide deep, and quality, educational materials for Scala

Open Source
Let's improve Scala together.


The Scala Center seeks to:
  • Coordinate and direct the open source development of libraries/tools of broad benefit to the community.
  • Substantially grow our community of open source contributors.
  • Improve the landscape of Scala's libraries.

We'll start by consulting with the user community, defining common goals, and organizing contributions and its own resources to achieve these goals.
