Through these efforts, we envision a future in our region that is brighter and more prosperous for all.\n\n\n**Our mission**: Driving scientific progress in Latin America.\n\nWe operate as a public good to advance Latin American science, serving as a nexus between the scientific community and the blockchain ecosystem.\n\nOur primary goal is to empower small foundations, scientific organizations, and researchers by providing them with visibility and the necessary tools to propel their projects forward.\n\nWe are committed to establishing meaningful connections within the scientific community through educational partnerships, events, Twitter engagements, forums, and various other platforms.\n\nOur overarching objective is to stay informed about and disseminate insights regarding the state of science in the region.\n\n\n[![alt text](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Voc7PRSCQjc/0.jpg)](https://youtu.be/Voc7PRSCQjc?si=Me2w1Kybf3naqsdQ)\n\n[![alt text](https://img.youtube.com/vi/V4867GsJPdo/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/live/V4867GsJPdo?si=y43mdEJ8qRM0wS8c)\n\n[![alt text](https://img.youtube.com/vi/c_2WQB_c3hI/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/live/c_2WQB_c3hI?si=18cTEFhROtu2Vm78)\n\n[![alt text](https://img.youtube.com/vi/EqPW5CfUjf4/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/live/EqPW5CfUjf4?si=HJd4nCbqksgfmg2g)\n\n[![alt text](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Dv9B1PDmahM/0.jpg)](https://youtu.be/Dv9B1PDmahM?si=lVUzSZ5aDNnh7eBO)\n\n[![alt text](https://github.com/DeSci-Latam/gallery/blob/main/photo_2023-04-21_17-57-04.jpg?raw=true)](https://twitter.com/DeSciLATAM)\n\n[![alt text](https://github.com/DeSci-Latam/gallery/blob/main/photo_2023-04-21_17-57-05.jpg?raw=true)](https://twitter.com/DeSciLATAM)\n\n[![alt text](https://github.com/DeSci-Latam/gallery/blob/main/photo_2024-04-20_22-30-41.jpg?raw=true)](https://twitter.com/DeSciLATAM)\n\n[![alt text](https://github.com/DeSci-Latam/gallery/blob/main/desci%20latam.jpg?raw=true)](https://twitter.com/DeSciLATAM)\n\n[![alt text](https://github.com/DeSci-Latam/gallery/blob/main/photo_2023-04-21_17-57-06%20(4).jpg?raw=true)](https://twitter.com/DeSciLATAM)\n\n[![alt text](https://github.com/DeSci-Latam/gallery/blob/main/photo_2024-04-20_22-34-16.jpg?raw=true)](https://twitter.com/DeSciLATAM)\n\n[![alt text](https://github.com/DeSci-Latam/gallery/blob/main/photo_2024-04-20_22-50-44.jpg?raw=true)](https://twitter.com/DeSciLATAM)\n\n---\n\n#### Roadmap\n\n### Objectives for this year:\n\n- Continue collaborating with other communities.\n- Continue providing content in Spanish and Portuguese.\n- Expand our audience.\n- Add multi-language support to our website.\n- Host Twitter spaces/Lives with scientific projects.\n- Map sources of funding for scientific research projects.\n- Improve the quality of our live streams.\n- Apply to other grant programs.\n- Participate in regional events, both blockchain and science-related.\n- Organize our own events or side-events.\n- Secure a DeSci Space at Devcon.\n- Project reports from the DeSci Ecosystem.\n- Mapping of DeSci communities.\n- Host a DeSci hackathon.\n- Secure space for DeSci at regional events such as ETH LATAM, ETH Argentina, etc.\n\nWe are open to other initiatives along the way to our mission.\n\n---\n\n### Q1\n- We added 2 collaborators to the team.\n- Created a new version of our website.\n- Gave a talk at Vitalia - Honduras.\n- Pitched at Vitalia - Honduras.\n- 2 Live sessions with a scientific project.\n- 1 Live session with another DeSci community (MesoReef DAO).\n- Promoted DeSci Rio and Blockchain Week in Rio de Janeiro.\n- Participated in a Twitter Space hosted by DeSci Mexico, discussing Women in Science.\n- Spread awareness of DeSci LATAM's activities at DeSci Summit in Denver.\n\n### Q2\n\nhttps://www.descilatam.org/es-AR/changelog\n\n### Q3\n- Co-Host DeSci DAY at Aleph - Argentina\n- DeSci LATAM Virtual Conf ( TBD)\n\n### Q4\n- TBD (We will attempt to attend Devcon and secure space for DeSci).\n\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "DeSci-Latam", "projectTwitter": "descilatam"}, "recipient": "0x46329E7cB9057CcCf57Cc39aFDb55C437d8D2Bf3"}}
