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.
  • Provide scaffolding to help the community develop, publish, find, and evaluate Scala libraries.


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

The Scala Center is backed by EPFL, a world-class research university in Lausanne, Switzerland, several industries that depend on Scala every day, and countless individual members of the Scala community.

All of our members, individual and corporate, are actively involved in the Scala project. We are a coalition of individuals and organizations working together to contribute to Scala.

Interested in joining the effort?
The best way to help is to get involved in the Scala project!

We also accept sponsorships/donations to be able to fund important project work that would otherwise not be possible.
