+ Sponsorships allow us to cover our central personnel and operational costs,
+ and are absolutely crucial to our sustainability.
+ They are however not the only way Organizations can concretely help us in our mission.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ We also welcome <strong>in-kind</strong> support from Organizations, in any
+ useful form including (but in no way limited to):
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>sponsorship coordination</strong><br>
+ Is someone (perhaps a library employee or Open Access officer?)
+ willing to help us run our sponsorship scheme, by for example
+ acting as national/regional contact person or coordinator?
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>development assistance</strong><br>
+ Does your Organization have an ICT service with professional-level
+ web programmers? Is any one of them open to the idea of contributing
+ to our project, even on an occasional basis?
+ We can then give them access to our repository at
+ <a href="https://code.scipost.org/">code.scipost.org</a> where we keep
+ all codebases for our online facilities.
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>editorial coordination</strong><br>
+ Does your Organization already have editorial-level staff
+ with broad knowledge of best practices regarding plagiarism,
+ reviewing, archiving, metadata maintenance etc? Within our
+ infrastructure, it is easy for such qualified personnel to contribute to
+ the running of our workflows.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ In-kind support is particularly interesting for us for the following reasons:
+ <ul>
+ <li>it helps Organizations which benefit from our activities to
+ maintain a close relationship with us, to be well aware of our current
+ activities and development plans, and to help us set priorities for the
+ future</li>
+ <li>it provides a channel for significantly useful but non-financial support;
+ this can be particularly interesting for institutions which are facing
+ financial pressures but nonetheless have qualified personnel willing to help</li>
+ <li>it helps making clear that our unitiative belongs to the academic
+ community</li>
+ <li>in view of the fact that our initiative is resolutely international,
+ it helps us to remain aware of and cater for
+ national/regional/local preferences and ways of working.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </p>
+ <p>Is your Organization interesting in helping us with such in-kind support? Please
+ <a href="mailto:admin@scipost.org">contact our administration</a> to discuss
+ concrete possibilities.</p>
