Help keep under-represented research open and accessible.

The Global South holds over 85% of the world's population, yet contributes less than 10% of global research output. Africa, for instance, is home to 17% of the world's population but accounts for only 3% of global research output. Nubian is building a decentralized open-access collective to close these gaps by making under-represented research accessible for all.Your donation directly supports under-represented researchers, the long-term preservation of scholarship from under-represented regions, and the community initiatives that keep this collective alive.
Where your support goes
  • Microgrants for undergraduate and early-career research.
  • Infrastructure that keeps scholarship from under-represented regions accessible and tamper-resistant.
  • Convenings, dialogues, and collaborations across institutions and regions.
