Google Research Award for Freesound
Google Research Award for Freesound
The MTG has obtained a grant from the Google Research Awards program to support the Freesound project. With the award of $50.000 US dollars the MTG will be able to make some major improvements to Freesound.
The MTG believes that the potential and future impact of Freesound is enormous and that it can become the reference site for sound sharing in the very near future. With this award we want to (1) increase the rate at which new sounds are being added, (2) improve the software so that the site can scale up properly, and (3) add functionality to further promote its use in research and creative activities worldwide. This award will allow to do all this while maintaining the current model of a free and collaborative site based on a creative commons license.
This is an award for the whole Freesound community, so congratulations to everyone!!!.
