The long term goal is to get research institutes and scientists so that they could use Steem, via steemstem.io (our app under development), as a medium for science communication. Science communication is vital today and it would be great to have Steem playing a role in there. We have started SteemSTEM 2 years ago with the aim of making Steem a better place for STEM and we today have very ambitious goals. We hope that they are shared, and we are at the moment looking for early investors in the project.

On the mid-term, we will get on board a couple of institutes plus a know youtuber so that they will start using the platform. With something to showcase, maybe getting (internal and external) investors on board will be easier.

Here is the short version (so that there is a trace somewhere for people following this conversation ;) )
