Bringing researchers together, from disparate teams, is critical to the scientific endeavor, yet COVID-19 has disrupted the traditional model of scientific interchange and made it harder for researchers to develop collaborative networks and gain research visibility.

The experience in managing COVID-19 has also reinforced the necessity of understanding local context to inform decision-making against global challenges and in turn, to having inter-connected researchers who are versed in local community challenges to address these.

This change has further incentivized research managers to explore solutions to help facilitate the open exchange of knowledge.
