The Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) is pleased to announce that the Max Planck Decentralized Science Initiative – DeSci Connect is advancing towards a strategic partnership with Cerebrum DAO, a pioneering decentralized science (DeSci) platform. Together, DeSci Connect and Cerebrum DAO will explore joint activities including workshops, knowledge exchange, and infrastructure development to accelerate the adoption of decentralized science practices.
DeSci Connect was launched to explore how decentralized technologies can support more open, transparent, and collaborative research practices across the Max Planck Society and beyond. By joining forces with Cerebrum DAO, DeSci Connect strengthens its mission to build new models of scientific collaboration, funding, and governance that serve the global research community.
Cerebrum DAO brings a unique approach to decentralized science, leveraging blockchain-based governance and community-driven structures to empower researchers and enhance the visibility and reproducibility of scientific work.
As part of their collaboration with Cerebrum DAO, DeSci Connect will begin hosting a series of workshops with researchers of the Max Planck Society, laying the foundation for wider engagement and collaboration across the scientific ecosystem.
This partnership highlights the growing momentum behind decentralized science initiatives and reflects MPDL’s commitment to advancing innovative models of scholarly communication and collaboration.
