London, 20 May 2016: Kolabtree, the London-based on-demand platform offering access to qualified scientific professionals, today announced the successful completion of its beta program. As the first platform to harness the growing global pool of scientific experts, it allows businesses and ricerca groups to connect instantly with a diverse pool of freelancers, most of whom are PhDs.
"Il mondo accademico può essere inaccessibile per molte imprese", ha detto Ashmita Das, co-fondatore di Kolabtree. "Gli sforzi per promuovere la collaborazione tra accademia e industria servono principalmente le aziende che possono finanziare tali programmi. Vorremmo che Kolabtree rendesse facile anche alle piccole imprese e organizzazioni lavorare con scienziati e altri esperti di alto livello".
Kolabtree lies at the center of several ongoing trends. Businesses large and small require advanced expertise and outside knowledge to support digital and non-technical innovation. Even as stakeholders engaged in social problems like climate change, food production, and assistenza sanitaria are increasingly looking at instant access to specialist expertise, research budgets have flattened or shrunk in many Western countries, leading to an expanding workforce of highly trained scientific professionals. Kolabtree’s mission is democratize access to scientific talent by helping business and industry tap into this talent pool without incurring the heavy costs of recruiting, retaining, and training.
Il programma beta di Kolabtree ha prodotto diverse storie di successo, che si tratti di una ONG che ha assunto un postdoc per raccogliere la letteratura su una malattia rara o di un imprenditore che ha cercato uno scienziato di dati per individuare le tendenze nelle vendite quotidiane dei prodotti. La prova della domanda di una tale piattaforma sta negli oltre 2000 utenti che si sono iscritti a Kolabtree come freelance. Facendo più luce su questo, Aaheli Roy Choudhary, un freelance di Kolabtree, dice: "Kolabtree offre una solida piattaforma per gli scienziati che passano dalla ricerca attiva alla scrittura accademica e alla consulenza".
