# Collaborations & Funding Sources

## Statement on Collaboration

While we provide our design files, assembly instructions, and software open source to the research community, we're open to working with **anyone and everyone looking to build a cleaner, more equitable, and robust energy infrastructure.** We're happy to collaborate to advance the basic energy sciences, especially by providing characterization time on our pre-built hardware setups, or by developing new hardware setups for next-stage energy challenges. If you are interested in collaborating, please reach out to us at <hardware@mit.edu>!

Thank you for being interested in collaborating or contributing! You're awesome! &#x20;
