Open Genius, crowdfunding in science #
Science is the main driver of innovation, economic development
and social wealth. However, because of the
economic crisis many countries are cutting their research budget. Open Genius mission is to connect people and researchers for the sake of alleviating
academic poverty.
The idea is simple: Open Genius wants to make qualitative research projects
available to public and facilitate the funding through highly
motivated global community (Gaggioli, A, Riva, G. 2008. Working the Crowd, Science 321, 1443).
