funding panel
Hi Winnie,
Thanks for following up on this. Sounds like a good plan.
For sure all kinds of civil society projects must deal with similar issues around funding. We might have recourse to different funding sources and the culture probably varies, but the same risk issues must always apply if you’re trying to get funding for non-institutional projects. It would be interesting to learn how sectors that are more accustomed to funding non-institutional projects have learned to mitigate risk over the years. I’m sure a panel that collects these experiences would be really valuable to everyone. It would be cool if the DIY Science Network could be part of that.
If it’s possible to also leave some flexibility in the schedule for a more practical session that would be really good. It’s been tough to find the time to push forward with the project over the last weeks, so I unfortunately don’t have a clearer idea of where we’ll be in October at this point.
