Workshop Envisions Projects to Facilitate Work in the Information Ecosystem

An enthusiastic and vocal group of 38 Pistoia Alliance members and non-members met in Hannover, Germany on 10 October 2011 to discuss the "information ecosystem" in biomedical and pharmaceutical research. The objective was to define some tangible projects that would contribute to the ecosystem and that could be undertaken by the Pistoia Alliance. Themes included defining and publishing common use cases; harmonizing processes to facilitate collaboration between life science companies and CROs; and identifying, signposting, and perhaps "certifying" standards within the industry. The group continues to participate in regular teleconferences and has built a portfolio of topics that may be launched as official Pistoia working groups. Anyone is welcome to join ongoing discussions.
