The venue for those events should be innovation hubs (places scientists are used to visit/work) inside or outside university campuses.\n\nRoadmap\n\n(i) Explore with several Innovation Hubs (starting with the Technological Park of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) a partnership to organize DeSci events to onboard scientists\n(ii) Organize together with college students and/or young scientists regular meetups to show them the available blockchain technologies, what is DeSci and how scientists might enter the space and successfully explore those available blockchain/web3 technologies.\n(iii) Organize DeSci events in several cities of Brazil \n\nTimeline for Implementation\n\nThose are permanent activities and will last as funds are available\n\n(i) Exploring partnerships with Innovation Hubs: Month 1-3\n(ii) Organize regular meetups with college students and/or young scientists: Month 2-12\n(iii) Organize DeSci events in several cities of Brazil: Month 3-12", "hidden": true, "question": "Describe your project in a few paragraphs (ideally including a problem statement, solution, roadmap, and timeline for implementation)", "questionId": 8}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "IberoAm supports the mission and goals of DeSci by organizing Conferences/Meetings/Workshops, Hackathons as means to educate and onboard scientists into the blockchain/web3 space.", "hidden": true, "question": "How does your project support the mission or goals of DeSci?", "questionId": 9}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Funds to be raised will be used to pay mainly for logistics, including photography, website maintenance, video-recording, snacks, beverages, meeting/conference room leasing and transportation.", "hidden": false, "question": "Describe how funds from the grants program will be used for your project.", "questionId": 10}, {"type": "address", "hidden": true, "question": "If you participated in past grant rounds (i.e. DeSci GR15) using a different project payout wallet address, please share it here.", "questionId": 11, "encryptedAnswer": {"ciphertext": "GVvPfj2MuNaMKATJaZxNM23fxgoOs57GbmJFzQ2X/jM=", "encryptedSymmetricKey": "0e3aa7c05b9b2ed6045bc9537f5ef96fa98c0f557c336470ce795add7bc6570bad67f25abcdcf500c23ab6a9fbee1d18902255fe8e70003ddcc7b3c72917c52f56f0ef49227de92ddbccd3af3619a390b706ac418cc0fa397308426563f15cb388ef2de6a454a21d3f82267bb640aaae6c4eea8b28836f6e3e7a50d82cdf779900000000000000205d88347fa71059aba9c5ed42594094f4f57be248101954ea360a55c5f13cb1ddc669d108fa95167b8e6544eafe0a7f91"}}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Our first and successfull achieved goal in 2022 was the organization of an online conference (containing 15 talks and 3 short-courses) that was streamed to our YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@iberoamerica6121/streams) and also aimed to identify at least 3 iberoamerican impact projects.
