Piirus - A Global Platform for Research Connections and Collaborations
Duration 0.5 days
Team Researcher Academy
Description

Piirus (www.piirus.com) is a free, global membership platform that enables the academic research community to connect and collaborate. It is derived from the University of Warwick and sits alongside the service jobsac.uk. Piirus facilitates the development of interdisciplinary and international connections. Growth has been rapid – since launch in August 2014 researchers from over 700 institutions across the globe have actively connected with each other and membership is estimated to grow to more than 10,000 researchers by the end of 2015.

 

Fiona Colligan from Piirus (www.piirus.com) and Nick Brian from jobs.ac.uk will provide a brief introduction and demonstration of Piirus and present an overview what they have been doing in conjunction with other research institutions.

 

The session is targeted at academic staff and research students.
