The Science|Business Network - a premium partnership forum
Science|Business is an independent news service, giving subscribers a leading edge in deals, partnerships and business opportunities in the world of science. But it draws part of its strength from its unique community of interest, the Science|Business Network.
The Network is dedicated to encouraging enterprise in science. It comprises alumni, staff and students of leading universities; leaders in corporate R&D management; and experts in intellectual property law, technology investing and business development. They are subscribers, sponsors or collaborators. The mission of Science|Business is simple: To provide an information bazaar that helps these men and women learn about each other, and connect with one another - across institutions, across borders, across disciplines. To succeed, the bazaar must open with its by-ways thronged - and to that end, Science|Business provides preferential rates to members and founders of the network. These members are:
