OUR MISSION: GENERATE A COHERENT SYNERGY WITHIN THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHERS.

We strive to build a multidisciplinary collaboration platform tailored to the process of scientific research. Through the enhancement of open cooperation, our platform aims to introduce an unprecedented synergy within the research community.

OUR GOAL

With research methods being in constant evolution, we are committed to providing researchers with a breakthrough collaboration platform continually adapted to their workflow.

Increasing interactions within the scientific network calls for state-of-the-art collaborative tools.

Our focus is set on providing the community with secure and reliable applications built on top of cutting edge technologies.

Our platform aims to address several issues currently affecting the research community

A broken peer review process

A research paper can take from a couple months to more than a year to go through the peer-review process of the leading scientific journals, thereby delaying the time for potential breakthroughs to reach other scientific researchers. We believe that the peer-review of scientific studies should not be the privilege of a handful of scientific journals but should rather be a community effort.

Lack of accurate communication

The general public is often too dependent on the journalistic media when it comes to the results of scientific studies, those results are also often misconstrued. Greater accessibility to scientific studies helps to overcome viral misinformations that usually result from flawed interpretations of research findings.

The challenge of reproductibility

Many scientific studies are difficult or even impossible to replicate, sometimes even by the original researchers themselves. This replication crisis affects many scientific fields, from medicine to psychology. We believe that wide data sharing among scientific researchers will help tackle the replication crisis. An efficiently connected research community also leads to more scrupulous scientific studies.

Poorly designed studies

Poorly designed studies have a higher chance of producing misleading results, not to mention the waste of animal lives in many cases. According to meta-research specialists Iain Chalmers and Paul Glasziou, it is estimated that 85% of global research spending is wasted on poorly designed studies. Open scientific collaboration accelerates the early identification of flawed studies, therefore reducing their proliferation.

The global ecosystem of scientific research has become more complex than ever, from academia to industry researchers, the community is composed of a wide array of professionals and amateurs who often work on similar research projects.

OUR VISION

A research community more connected than ever.

With advanced collaboration and data sharing technologies that are tailored to researchers' work process, many crippling issues such as the replication crisis or the proliferation of poorly designed studies can be efficiently addressed.

The pillars of our platform

Mobility

A dynamic community at your fingertip

We put the emphasis on mobility and cloud computing technologies, we want to provide researchers with the most advanced collaboration tools whether they're in the lab, at the office, on the field or on a plane to their next symposium.

Scientific researchers are often portrayed as professionals wearing blouses and spending their days in a lab scrutinizing through a microscope. In real life, the work environment of a researcher is far from being limited to a laboratory, mobility is very much relevant to the research community.

Security

Real time and secure collaboration

In the era of digital data, information is made more accessible than ever. We believe that the more quickly the potential discoveries will reach the community, the easier the peer-review process will be, thus accelerating the early indentification of flawed scientific studies.

We also understand that with the dematerialization of modern computing and the enthusiasm toward cloud computing, security flaws are becoming a more and more recurring issue, therefore keeping our members data secured is one of our top priorities.

Adaptability

A platform modeled upon the work process of researchers

We make sure that the Sympoziast platform is adapted to the workflow of researchers, from the elaboration of a research hypothesis, through data collection all the way to results publication, therefore the platform will go hand in hand with how researchers actually work.

One of our greatest chanllenge is to optimally accommodate the different segments of the research community, considering the fact that they operate differently from each other and that the research trends are constantly evolving.

Many innovative collaboration features will be made available to researchers on our platform. These features will aim to foster efficient interactions among researchers sharing common interests.
