Panel Organized by: The Fathom Fund 

This panel argues that bridging the divide between science and the public creates considerable benefit not just to end users, but to science itself. But how can that engagement be achieved in meaningful, useful and innovative ways? This international panel of award-winning practitioners will discuss the use of crowdsourcing to engage the public, exploring innovative ways that crowd involvement can positively influence scientific research. We focus on two types of crowdsourcing: tapping into the crowd for ideas and project development, and using crowdfunding to finance part or all of a project’s cost.
