Our Funding Goals

May 2024 - Starting

Prototype Launch

The first version of our encyclopedia is now ready.

It consists of previews of the initial three sample themes: Russia-Ukraine War, Global Issues and Russia.

And we tried to build (unsuccessfully) an initial membership community primarily during June-July 2024.

5,000€ per month

Regular Content & Map Development

With this help, we could:

1) regularly create new content (portraits of individual world regions, global issues or countries)

2) intensively negotiate partnerships with research institutions, NGOs or media to produce new content and deliver this resource to people around the world

3) start developing the interactive world map

WHEN 20 000€ per month IS eNSUREd

Filling the Map & Focusing on Impact

Once we've reached the sustainable goal of 2000 members donating monthly, we will begin filling the gaps in the map with entries covering individual countries and global topics. We will also focus more extensively on cooperation with journalists, NGOs, and influencers.

How we will use your donations

Our current goal

5,000€ per month

Initial Themes, Testing, and Partnerships

Our main aim for this initial period is to test our concept and demonstrate the need for our new encyclopedia. In addition, we hope to establish our new encyclopedia in the global network of academic institutions, NGOs, media outlets, and foundations, while constantly inviting more members to join us on our journey.

our next milestone

10,000€ per month

Developing an Interactive Map

Reaching 1000 members donating monthly (when equivalent to around 10,000€ per month) will allow us to begin developing the socio-political interactive map. We will create it agilely and add new features to the existing public website as we go. We also intend to create our own community platform for members. In the meantime, we will focus on creating new content and further promoting our encyclopedia in global academia to engage with more authors from around the world.

our following milestone

20,000€ per month

Filling the Map & Focusing on Impact

Reaching 2000 members donating monthly (when equivalent to around 20,000€ per month) will enable us to establish a permanent editorial board. This will have a similar role to that of an academic journal. Through this, we will be able to edit multiple entries on various countries and global topics simultaneously. As the map develops, we will focus on forming extensive and regular cooperation with journalists, NGOs, and influencers worldwide.
