Stifterverband is an association of German research funders who will soon launch Germany’s first crowd-funding site for science in order to connect the research world with the public. It is already available on Facebook and Twitter, and will go live independently in November.
The site allows researchers to post a call for funding for small expenditures (a research trip, a computer, or money to hire an assistant for a few months) and visitors to the site can donate directly to the calls they want to support!
