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.
Silvi's project aims to address global reforestation through novel financial instruments, extreme traceability, and a participatory model which aligns with DeSci's mission to innovate and open up 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 is creating necessary technological infrastructure such as TreeForwards, extreme traceability systems, and methodologies for tree stewardship, which support the DeSci mission.
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.
Silvi addresses multiple DeSci issues by attempting to improve data sharing practices through its traceability and MRV systems, reducing financial barriers through its TreeForwards, and increasing inclusivity with its community-based reforestation model.
