Time is money. And for most science centres it is time to think about ways of obtaining unrestricted funds. Where do you look for money if your budget is running low? Do you rob a bank? Are you becoming a pickpocketer? This is a session dedicated to the experience exchange of how we get unrestricted funds. What are the methods in use among Ecsite institutions and are there possibilities for developing new schemes? An interactive game will open dialogue among fundraisers and allow them to talk openly about the methods they use. This session’s aim is to exchange experience and create a network of fundraising ideas that can be developed among Ecsite fundraisers.
