[DIYbio] Re: Need some help in understanding the best way to start a biology lab hackerspace projet

We had a broad discussion about that last night at our weekly open lab evening in Amsterdam. Currently we are running a bootcamp for coordinators of BioHack Academy labs in the fall (www.waag.org/biohackacademy). 

It seems like most spaces take the "fitness-club-model" as the primary approach. So charging monthly membership fees. Others go more for a co-working space, or even a startup-incubator.

At the Open Wetlab we use the space as a facility for our research on open source biotech, and open it up to the public as a free service. 

Whatever approach you may choose, remember that having a local community is key to success, so it most likely is best to ask the people around you what they are looking for.

Dear DIYbio community,

I'm looking for someone wheeling to provide some information about what needs to be considered in setting up a BioLab project?
I'm trying to understand what it would represent to launch one in Belgium. Wondering things like:

- What Value proposition ?

- Which Stakeholders to involve? (private and public sector)

- What Financial needs and funding?

Key success factors?

Key failure factors?


Many thanks in advance to anyone who would be keen to help.
Kind Regards,
Charles
