How do you finance your project?
We are presently financing the project at our own expenses. However, once the main features of the platform are defined and practical work can begin, we will apply for grants. The type of financial support for this project is however still an open issue. We are considering several possibilities, e.g. we do not exclude the possibility of carrying out the project based on donations and contributions from independent institutions and individual persons. But we will also apply for funding at institutions of the European Union and other governmental foundations. Our goal is to be financially independent.
What we are not considering is corporate financial support. We do in fact oppose to any funding of this nature, since we believe it would lead to a conflict of interests.
