CodeRefinery acts as a hub for FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) software practices. It currently focuses on the Nordic/Baltic countries, but aims to expand beyond this region. CodeRefinery aims to operate as a community project with support from academic organizations.

CodeRefinery provides:

• For organizations: an opportunity to pool competence and offer more training and development opportunities than they could individually.
• For volunteers and the team: a community around teaching and opportunity for skill development, both in pedagogy and practical skills.
• For learners: a welcoming and useful environment for learning many necessary practical skills that may otherwise not be explicitly taught. This can be through courses, hackathons, and the like.
