WCG wechselt von IBM nach Krembil Research Institute

[Stiwi]

Was ich ganz spannend finde ist dass WCG mittlerweile extrem auf spenden angewiesen ist.

Operating Costs (CAD300K/year)
As of Q1/24: CAD 150,000 secured research funds; CAD 11,396 from donations

The initial sponsorship from IBM and Distributive enabled us to manage our infrastructure and operating costs in 2021 and 2022 by providing about 50% match to our research funding. However, as of 2023, we run WCG with only our research funding. We need additional support more than ever. If you have some contacts, please, let us know. If you could spare additional resources to support us - there are multiple ways of donating to WCG. We continue to support the operation from research funds, but that alone is not sufficient.
As of December 2023 we have received $11,396 in donations - thank you for your support. Through the support and donation from our academic and corporate partners, we have fully resolved our server, storage and server room costs for this year. We have committed half of our required operating cost from our research funding, leaving us with a remaining deficit of CAD 138,604.

We are also planning new projects, and we are working with our scientific partners to ensure sufficient funds are available for the project - both to run the WCG part, but to also ensure follow-up validation and experiments in the lab and the clinic. This may help to reduce the remaining deficit of CAD 138,604. We will provide more information as we get closer to their start.

Ich frage mich immer, in welches schwarze Loch bei den Amis & Kanadiern immer die Kohle fällt.
Die sollten das Geld einfach an uns überweisen, dann läuft der Kram wieder rund.
