In Brief
Crowd Funding for Research
With "Sciencestarter", the Science in Dialogue initiative now has established the first German language crowd funding platform for the scientific world. Researchers can use the platform to find sponsors for project ideas in the fields of science and science communication. To this end, within 30 days, they first need to find sufficient fans in favour of their project and then, during the ensuing crowd funding phase, need to win over sponsors for funding the project. If the target sum is achieved, the scientists receive the complete amount of funds collected.
