With this exchange platform, we aim to contribute to a shift in daily laboratory practices by providing a tool that encourages resource-conscious thinking.
It often happens that materials or equipment that are no longer relevant for one researcher—due to changes in experiments or research goals—can be of great value to another.
Our platform not only promotes sharing and reusing resources within the scientific community, but also contributes to efficiency and sustainability in research.
