First month impact and learning

One month ago, we launched IBSAUD’s first public cycleThe Access Project and the IBSAUD Newsletter.
The goal: make real STEM guidance and research resources freely accessible to any learner, anywhere.
In just 30 days, our early network of 40+ subscribers engaged with 315 emails across two flagship programs — creating measurable learning gains and proving that open access works.

💡 Insights (What We Learned)
  • Open content works. Structured, free, and context-relevant guidance drives consistent participation even in early stages.
  • Accessibility builds trust. Regular newsletters with practical insights fostered credibility among learners in low-resource settings.
  • Curation > Quantity. Learners preferred a few well-organized, reliable resources over large, unfiltered data dumps.
🎯 Mission Framing (Why It Matters)
Every email, every resource, and every learner reached supports IBSAUD’s founding mission —
to make scientific knowledge and innovation universally accessible.
In a world where opportunity often depends on funding, location, or institutional privilege, this small pilot proves that access itself is a form of leadership.

🚀 Roadmap (What’s Next)
  • Expand to 500+ subscribers across new regions.
  • Release all six Access Project resources publicly.
  • Launch the IBSAUD Resource Library as a permanent open-access hub.
  • Introduce community feedback and mentorship channels for direct learner-mentor connection.
