Case Study: University of Oxford fosters global research collaboration with Fourwaves

University of Oxford - Customer Case Study

Researchers at the University of Oxford, part of a multi-national team studying Parkinson's disease, faced the challenge of bringing their globally dispersed members together for collaborative virtual poster sessions. Project Manager Claudia Mendes needed a professional and easy-to-use platform to host the event with limited time and resources, but found other options lacking. She was ultimately recommended Fourwaves as a potential solution.

Using the Fourwaves platform for virtual poster sessions, the team hosted 34 scientists. The solution was easy to set up and customize, leading to a highly successful event. Participants found the platform interactive and engaging, valuing the intimate virtual spaces that fostered focused, distraction-free discussions averaging 41 minutes per poster. The positive outcome has led the team to plan annual events with Fourwaves to continue facilitating collaboration.
