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.
The project IberoAm identifies and supports Iberoamerican blockchain/web3 projects with social and financial impact, fundamentally aligning with DeSci's mission by promoting scientific research tailored to the needs of minorities and underrepresented groups.
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.
IberoAm contributes to the mission by organizing conferences and events to educate and onboard scientists and data privacy advocates into the blockchain ecosystem, thereby supporting the DeSci 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.
The project addresses the academic disconnect and barriers to globally inclusive research by prioritizing diversity, equity, inclusion, and by facilitating access and education in DeSci for underrepresented communities in Ibero-America.
Projects must satisfy the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy in addition to the requirements described above.
While the project demonstrates alignment with the DeSci principles, there is insufficient information provided to confirm that the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy is met. This includes checks such as compliance, legality, and adherence to Gitcoin's community guidelines.
