Comments on: Vertaisrahasto.fi: innovative Peer Fund for scientific research in Finland https://blog.p2pfoundation.net/vertaisrahasto-fi-peer-fund/ Researching, documenting and promoting peer to peer practices Wed, 31 Aug 2011 07:35:29 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.5.17 By: Tere https://blog.p2pfoundation.net/vertaisrahasto-fi-peer-fund/comment-page-1/#comment-485961 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 07:35:29 +0000 http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/?p=18478#comment-485961 It would be great if the idea (and software) would be adopted in different places. If someone gets interested, we are very eager to collaborate, sharing experiences & other possible support we can give. Just give us a holler, e.g., through info@vertaisrahasto.fi or directly to me.

If this could be rolled out in different countries, and with experience gained, could attract more and larger donations, it could make for a real alternative to the current closed funding process, where the “experts” decide what should be funded. Those mainstream experts are of course making sure no game changing discoveries ever get off the drawing board, as that would threaten the status quo and perhaps even their own carreers.

A separate funding mechanism for projects, even starting out small, could really make a difference.
