Advancing Science at Life Technologies
As a global company with 1,350 scientists working in R&D in three divisions around the world, Life Technologies recognizes the importance of creating mechanisms that allow researchers to cross the divisional boundaries of the company to share technology and information.
In 2009, Science@Life was introduced to provide a framework for both internal and external connectivity—a forum for sparking innovation. The capstone of internal connectivity was a Science and Technology Symposium—the way for scientists to share their work with their peers. Held in October of 2009, 275 employees from around the world came together for plenaries, guest lectures, poster presentations, oral sessions, and brainstorming workshops. Immediate synergies between products, technologies, and investigators emerged, with new products already launching in 2010.
