  • Figures, HackScience and HipDynamics - winners of the latest Digital Science Catalyst Grant

    Posted by John on March 8, 2017

    With our next #FuturePub just around the corner (it's next week!), we thought we take this opportunity to take a glimpse into the possible future of science and publishing tech a few days early. Step forward Figures, HackScience and HipDynamics - all three are winners of the latest Digital Science Catalyst Grant.

    What's Overleaf's involvement? Well, aside from sitting only a few desks away from the team that runs the grant programme, we actually applied for a Catalyst Grant many years ago! And despite us failing in that early attempt, Digital Science did go on to become our lead investor :) So you can view us as an example of how it's not the end of the world if you don't make it first time around!

    The three winners...
