How it works
More Than Just Comics:
A Learning Tool
From Lab to Screen in 4 Steps
Getting started is simple: just share your research summary and goals via our dedicated form.
From there, our experts draft a script and storyboard, working closely with you to ensure you validate every detail of scientific accuracy.
Once the narrative is approved, professional artists bring the story to life, creating engaging webtoon episodes in our signature vertical format.
Finally, we handle all marketing and distribution, launching your work on the Toons To Think app (iOS, Android, Desktop) to ensure it reaches schools and the public effectively. Backed by Science, Driven by Art
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any artistic skills to participate?
Not at all. Our team handles the entire creative process, including scriptwriting, storyboarding, and illustration. While your primary role is to ensure scientific accuracy, we warmly welcome your feedback on the visual style and storytelling to ensure the final result aligns with your vision. You guide the creative direction; we handle the execution.
Am I obligated to publish my webtoon exclusively on your platform?
Absolutely not! Our platform is designed as an added value service, not a restriction. You are free to use the created webtoons for your own purposes, such as conferences, personal websites, social media, or institutional reports. The specific terms regarding rights ownership and distribution are discussed and tailored during the contractual phase to fit your needs and goals.
How is the cost determined?
Our pricing is project-based. It depends on the number of episodes, the level of illustration detail, and the specific services required (e.g., translation, teaching kits). We work with you to define a scope that matches your available funding. Contact us for a preliminary estimate.
Can this project fit into my existing research funding?
Yes. Most national (SNSF) and European grants include specific budgets for “Knowledge Transfer,” “Outreach,” or “Communication.” We can provide detailed quotes and documentation to support your grant applications or justify existing budget lines.
What is the role of AI in your creation process?
Our creative process is fundamentally human-made to connect with humans. While our artists may use AI as a supplementary tool for specific technical tasks, every final illustration is the result of manual artistic work and creative intent.
Furthermore, your research is precious and confidential. To ensure its absolute security, your data and scientific content are never shared with or processed by public Artificial Intelligence models. Your work remains safe within our secure, human-led workflow.
