Our Performance - Science

External connectivity is focused around opportunities to better connect and partner with our customers. With that in mind, we created a $1 million pool of research dollars earmarked for Collaborative Research Compacts (CRCs). Each year, the company sponsors 20-25 collaboration projects that allow Life Technologies researchers to connect with external thought leaders and forge relationships that last long after the six-month compact ends.
