Sustainable Freesound
We develop a large number of software tools and hosting infrastructures to support the research developed at the Department. We will be detailing in this section the different tools available. You can take a look for the moment at the offer available within the UPF Knowledge Portal, the innovations created in the context of EU projects in the Innovation Radar and the software sections of some of our research groups:

The goal of the project is to make Freesound.org sustainable by promoting donations from the users.
Because of the nature of Freesound and the philosophy of openness, sharing and reuse that we promote, we think that the sustainability model that best fits our case is one based on user donations (similarly to Wikipedia). Considering the huge amount of users that regularly download content from Freesound, we estimate that with a very small yearly contribution from some of these users, they can help us keep Freesound in good shape.
With this project we will:
1. Increase the visibility and impact of freesound, as a dataset for research and for use in various professional sectors.
2. We will obtain funding that emphasizes the sustainability of the research around freesound.
3. We will encourage collaborations of the researchers working in freesound with external researchers and professionals.
4. It will help define and develop the computational infrastructure of the DTIC as a Scientific infrastructure that offers services to the outside.
