[open-science] Funding

Wed Feb 6 14:43:24 UTC 2013

There's also:

SciFund http://scifundchallenge.org/ (hosted by the RocketHub site rather
than a science-only platform but it's probably the most recognised science
crowdfunding drive)

Microryza https://www.microryza.com/ (from the site: Microryza is an online
platform that lets you discover new research, support the research you
think is important, and then connect with scientists. In return, you
receive updates directly from the researchers to get a window into how they
work and see your impact in the process of discovery.)

Open Science Space - would you like to introduce your plans over at
http://www.opensciencespace.com/? It looks like you're planning to launch a
new science crowdfunding site, how do you foresee this area developing as
more platforms come into existence?
