ResearchGATE and the International Academy of Life Sciences (IALS) have launched a cooperation in the area of scientific networking.

The IALS will establish ResearchGATE's technology as the number one communication platform among scientists in its transatlantic network, enabling them to communicate more efficiently about ongoing research and other current projects.

Specifically, ResearchGATE will provide an internal communication service to scholars and fellows of BMEP (Biomedical Sciences Exchange Program), which is sustained by the IALS. Furthermore, Ijad Madisch M.D., team member of ResearchGATE, was appointed a member of the official selection body for the next generation of BMEP fellows. IALS was founded in 1979 and has supported creative and strategic thinking, as well as leadership in life sciences, ever since.
