What is Open Genius?
Science is the main driver of innovation, economic development and social wealth. However, because of the economic crisis, Western countries are cutting their research budget. Our mission is to connect people and researchers, for the sake of alleviating academic poverty.
The idea is simple: we want to make qualitative research projects available to public and facilitate the funding through a global and highly motivated community [Gaggioli, A, Riva, G. (2008) Working the Crowd, Science 321, 5895, 1443].
We believe that crowdfunding is not just a recent trend, but represents a powerful channel with engaged communities capable to generate a critical mass of economic resources with the scope to source science projects.
