DeSci London Fellowship

We are partnering with a number of DeSci Communities to launch MuseMatrix, a six month long DeSci Fellowship focused on open sourced tooling. We will incubate, accelerate and coordinate builders interested in advancing DeSci!

🧐 What: We are on the lookout for 20 talented scientists, web3 developers, AI, zK and others. We will provide a space where they can cross-pollinate ideas and build world-changing innovations. Two months of peer-to-peer learning followed by four months of hacking!

🌍 Where: In-person (London) or remotely (worldwide)

⏰ When: Applications open soon, sign up here for reminders

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

With lofty goals to transform Science through web3 technology, we also want to set a new benchmark for diversity, equity & inclusion. That is why we will be offering travel grants to both the DeSci & Academic communities to ensure women and minority groups are represented in talks and attendance. Apply here.

An International Powerhouse

By leveraging London’s role as a biotech hub with one of the highest concentrations of academic talent in the world, and combining it with the emerging web3 sector, we have an opportunity to kickstart the next scientific revolution!
