Collaborative mode is very present today in our personal and professional lives. It is also booming in modern research. More ambitious, multi-disciplinary and expensive projects, an ever-increasing number of scientific articles, fiercer global competition: digital collaboration platforms between scientists can answer major challenges to advance research. Despite the proven effectiveness of these platforms, many scientists are not aware of…

Digitalisation continues to evolve, with the emergence of new digital tools. SaaS platforms, web portals, mobile applications and more are innovations that have changed our personal and professional daily lives. Paradoxically, scientific research has been at the forefront of the use of various cutting-edge technologies, like big data in the so-called “omics” approaches in biology for example,…

In a world where research uses more and more technologies from different disciplines, technology platforms have become critical for the achievement of scientific projects. Core facilities are offering services which facilitate the collaboration between scientists and enable access to advanced technologies essential to modern research. In this context, what are the main challenges facing core facilities ? This post is…

As any other field, modern research increasingly relies on innovative technologies and collaborative work. These two elements have become pivotal to meet the global challenges facing research, such as energy, water, food, and climate change. Research institutions cooperate with innovative industries that no longer dissociate the notions of research and innovation. In a knowledge-based economy, most countries rely on…
