According to Neil deGrasse Tyson, astro physicist, if you want to do something expensive and it doesn’t fulfill one of these three drivers it’s not going to be funded:
a. I don’t wanna die: when we feel threatened, e.g the Apollo-project and governments are convinced
b. Promise of economic return: I don’t wanna die poor
c. Praise of royalty: e.g the pyramids
Do these drivers also go for the research projects in universities? Or have you experienced that there are other drivers for funding (science) projects in universities?
There are several drivers for funding university projects, which may include:
These are some of the key drivers for funding university projects, and the specific drivers may vary depending on the type of project, the field of research, and the university. Ultimately, the success of a university project in securing funding will depend on a variety of factors, including the quality of the research proposal, the track record of the researchers, the availability of funding sources, and the competitiveness of the funding landscape.
