OpenAI launches ChatGPT program for academic researchers

OpenAI has launched a new program providing eligible academic researchers with free access to ChatGPT Pro, supporting scientific research, collaboration, and faster discovery across multiple disciplines.

OpenAI has introduced a new program that will provide 100,000 academic researchers with free access to ChatGPT Pro through 2027. Selected researchers will receive access to GPT-5.6 Sol Pro, along with the ability to invite up to four collaborators from their institution.

The initiative is designed to accelerate scientific research across fields such as biology, physics, mathematics, and engineering by giving researchers access to advanced reasoning, coding, and research capabilities.

OpenAI says the program is part of its broader commitment to invest more than $250 million in external scientific research while allowing researchers to pursue their own scientific priorities.
