What can crowdfunding actually fund? Charity projects, indipendent films and of course start ups, but anything else? What about science? Could it actually be an alternative to public funding cuts on research?
This is the challenge launched byRocketHub, a major crowdfunding platform which is now promoting the SciFund Challenge, through which research teams can post their projects and potential crowdfunders choose those they’d like to support.
