Why should I join as a Member?
The Insyn platform is a unique Membership-driven one-stop-shop for different kinds of high-quality aggregated content, to feed integrated and peer-reviewed solutions for the grand challenge of the coming decades. The content will be dynamically developed and expanded (as resources allow), based on feedback from Members.
Membership includes access to all areas of the platform including the community Forum, interaction with other Members, curated data / information, simple calculators and bespoke project lifecycle evaluation demo apps created by Olwg.
How much does Insyn Membership cost?
As Insyn is a demo prototype still in development, membership is free for a limited initial period to encourage feedback on user experience.
In return for free testing of our tools, constructive feeback is requested on the Platform and information/ tools contained within, as well as suggestions for additional features that would be useful in future.
The longer-term commercial model will be confirmed after the current phase of initial user feedback. The goal is for some public content to remain free forever, but some of the specially-developed tools will be covered by a flexible subscription plan or pay-per-use payment options, intended to keep these tools affordable and widely accessible.
We anticipate that special dispensation on pricing will be applied to at least make the Platform content + tools ‘free forever’ to students and academics.
