A Scientist-to-Scientist (StoS) OutSourcing Web Platform !

I would like to present a very interesting web site based on a simple idea, but a very useful one:

Science Exchange

http://scienceexchange.com

Science Exchange is an online CtoC marketplace for outsourcing scientific experiments, from

academic scientists to academic scientists (StoS). The goal is to make it easier for researchers to

access core resources across institutions. Currently, the natural audience of Science Exchange is

academic researchers, but the service will interest for sure researchers and engineers of companies

having R&D activities, or even companies wishing to solve a problem with the help and support of

academic scientists.

For example:

A scientist should perform an experiment to finish an article before submitting it to peer-reviewed

journals, but he/she is not competent in a particular technique needed for the experiment, or the

technology is not available in his/her lab, or just he/she has an urgent deadline.

He/she is looking to outsource the experiment to other scientists at core facilities of major research

universities who have the capacity to conduct the experiment.

After registering in Science Exchange, the scientist can easily propose a proposal, and his peers can

offer their services.

Here the screanshot after clicking on the "Find Projects" button:

Here the proposal details of a scientist who wishes to outsource an experiment. You can access to his

profile and see where he's working (in which lab, and what is his position), you can ask him a

question, and you can also send by email the proposal to scientits that could be interested by the task

(by clicking on the "Promote This Proposal" button).
