Open Hardware Sustainability After the Founding Grant: A Case Study of Five Instrument Projects

Open Hardware Sustainability After the Founding Grant; Future science and technology; Evidence synthesis; Reproducibility; Research methodologyAbstract
There is real interest in open hardware sustainability after the founding grant right now, and real uncertainty about exactly where
it delivers the most value. We pull together the current evidence for open hardware sustainability after the founding grant,
covering the methodological, practical, regulatory and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has genuinely settled and where
researchers and reviewers are still largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific pursuit looks better supported
by the evidence gathered here than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance.
