Abeni holds a PhD in Molecular Physics but gave it all up to create SciFree, a software company with a mission to make research open to the public for free. Why? Because researchers, libraries, and funders deserve better tools to meet the growing demands of Open Access and Open Science. SciFree currently serves 40 University Library customers in Sweden, Denmark, and the United Kingdom. Apart from building new tech platforms for university infrastructure and creating a primarily female-led software company, Abeni also volunteers on the NASIG Digital Preservation committee and tries to help PhDs transition into their careers.
