Metagov not only does research on decentralized governance but is also an example of a decentralized research group, with research directors hailing from over 10 different institutions (including universities, companies, and nonprofits) and a lively community of 700+ community members. We also organize many online seminars and in-person academic events (DAO Harvard, Stanford DAO Workshop, the Redwood Parliament @ DWeb Camp). Our COO, Eugene Leventhal, has been a longtime contributor to DeSci as part of the Smart Contract Research Forum.
