This infosession will give you an introduction to science crowdfunding and how you can benefit from the funding provided by the recently launched Science Booster program.
Crowdfunding is becoming more popular each day with people funding thousands of fresh initiatives that would otherwise never see the light of day. It is now an integral part of public support for culture and technology. But this kind of resource is still missing in science, especially for short-term and small- scale projects.
To change this, the Gebert Rüf Stiftung has partnered with wemakeit, the largest crowdfunding platform in Switzerland, and has pledged CHF 225,000 for a Science Booster that will give researchers from within and outside academic institutions a chance to actively engage with the public in an original way and raise funds to test unconventional scientific ideas. The Science Booster is now open for application and the projects will accept contributions from the crowd in early 2017.
