About
DeSci RSU is a decentralized science community at Rivers State University connecting students, lecturers and researchers to collaborate, publish, preserve and fund research using open science principles and blockchain technology.
Impact
We are creating a model any university can replicate. By making research open, discoverable and community supported, we help researchers gain visibility, collaboration and funding while accelerating scientific innovation across Africa.
Progress
We launched DeSci RSU, developed our mission, governance and roadmap, recruited founding members, held our first community meeting, opened leadership applications, launched our public channels and began outreach to the global DeSci ecosystem.
Team
I combine experience in community building, branding and scientific research to turn ideas into movements. By founding DeSci RSU, I am bringing together students, lecturers and researchers to build a sustainable open science ecosystem from the ground
