Create knowledge bricks that others can discover, validate, and stack together

For Researchers

Earn travel grants while building your scientific legacy through stackable knowledge bricks.

Transform your research into FAIR, stackable knowledge bricks—from systematic reviews to data analysis—making your work discoverable, reusable, and citable while advancing Open Science practices.

Get Recognition for Knowledge Brick Contributions

ORCID-linked attribution for every knowledge brick you create—code, data, reviews, discussions, and validated contributions. Build credentials with verified, traceable work that others can cite and build upon.

Access Merit-Based Travel Grants

Earn credits for quality knowledge brick contributions and redeem for conference attendance, research visits, and networking opportunities—funded by organizational subscriptions at no personal cost.

Make FAIR Knowledge Bricks Effortlessly

AI-enhanced workflows help you create FAIR-compliant knowledge bricks while working with your existing research toolkit. Seamless integration with tools like Zotero and systematic review platforms.

Advance Science Through Open Stackable Knowledge Bricks

Document complete research pathways—what worked, what didn't, and why. Enable others to build new hypotheses on your knowledge bricks while preventing duplicate efforts.

Enable Knowledge Brick Validation

Use community validation processes to verify specific knowledge bricks rather than requiring complete end-to-end reproduction of entire studies.

How the Credit System Works

Credits reflect relative contribution value - a PRISMA systematic review (150 credits) is worth 7.5x more than a basic claim (20 credits). Actual travel funding depends on total annual fund size divided by all credits earned.

Current Status (June 2025):

Fund Balance: €3,000 (initial seed funding)
Credits Earned: 0
Credit Value: Will be calculated as organizations join and contributors earn credits

Earn Credits Through Quality Knowledge Bricks
