Symplectic joins CASRAI

Symplectic is delighted to announce that it has become a member of the
standards development organisation CASRAI. As an Implementer Associate,
Symplectic will work with CASRAI and its partners in bringing the
benefits of standardisation to the global research community.

“Research information management can often be a time consuming and
arduous task for researchers,” says Daniel Hook, CEO, Symplectic.
“Symplectic has always believed that harmonising and standardising these
tasks will increase the efficiency of research and benefit the wider
community. We are excited to be a part of CASRAIs’ growing organisation
to bring the benefits of data standardisation to researchers around the
globe.”

“CASRAI is very pleased to have Symplectic join us,” says David Baker,
Executive Director of CASRAI. “Their innovative solutions and active
involvement with other CASRAI partners such as VIVO and euroCRIS
represent a very good fit. We look forward to collaborating with them to
advance a common global language for the research enterprise.”
