Projects should directly support the mission of DeSci to innovate scientific research by exploring novel mechanisms of funding, conducting, and disseminating scientific research in an open, inclusive, and accessible manner.
DeepVenture.io's mission to democratize access to space technology and foster an open innovation ecosystem aligns with the DeSci mission. Their initiatives for community building, a Space DAO Incubator program, and the tokenization of academic papers and IP support novel mechanisms of conducting and sharing scientific research.
DeSci projects most commonly support this mission by building and testing necessary technological infrastructure, but projects may also be eligible if they are deploying existing DeSci infrastructure in a scientific research context or if they are educating and recruiting members of the scientific community to contribute to the mission.
The project plans to utilize DeSci tools to promote open science principles and is launching a Space DAO Incubator that supports and accelerates space-related research communities. This indicates active involvement in deploying DeSci infrastructure and educating and recruiting the scientific community.
Concrete examples of issues covered by the DeSci mission include: the data reproducibility crisis and archaic data sharing practices; misaligned incentives and poor practices in scientific publishing and peer review; financial, linguistic, and academic barriers to globally inclusive research; intellectual property, patents, and financial incentives to trade progress for profits; academic disconnect and poor science/health literacy and trust in the lay public and government representatives.
DeepVenture.io addresses issues relevant to the DeSci mission such as fostering innovation with an open-access approach to data and resources, which could alleviate some misaligned incentives in scientific research and publishing. Their objectives of tokenization of IP could also help to mitigate financial incentive barriers.
