We're proud to host free [monthly meetups](https://www.meetup.com/pro/desci-london/) and we've organised a two [conferences](https://www.youtube.com/@descilondon), completely free at The Crick in 2023 and at Imperial College London on 2024, with over 300+ attendees. Everything we offer is free \ud83d\ude42\n\nWhy are we building DeSci London?\nOur goal is to establish a hub where DeSci builders can cross-pollinate ideas, gain insights from researchers, and score funding from investors. We are a catalyst for the entire DeSci community \ud83c\udf31.\n\nWho are we building it for?\nThe whole ecosystem! We are committed to making all events free to attend and putting representation and diversity at the heart of what we do (as shown by the 16 travel grants we offered and nearly 50% of our conference speakers being women). We're all about including people from different backgrounds, fields, and experience levels to create an inclusive, collaborative, and innovative environment for all \u270c\ufe0f.\n\nWhat would this grant money go towards?\nWe want to focus on hosting more in-person events so that even more folks can benefit. Our ultimate goal is to create a global, de-siloed network of academic researchers and help future founders get their ideas off the ground \ud83d\ude80.\n\nThank you for your consideration!
