Case Study: The Francis Crick Institute connects experts and grows community engagement with ToucanTech

The Francis Crick Institute connects a community of experts producing life-saving research

The Francis Crick Institute, a biomedical research centre in London, needed a way to connect alumni, members, staff and students in one online community while supporting networking, careers guidance and collaboration. It chose ToucanTech and its CrickConnect platform to launch and manage this community.

Using ToucanTech, the Crick built an online hub for events, mentoring, careers content and research discussion, including a smooth shift to virtual events. The platform helped the institute run a long-running mentoring scheme, improve matching through advanced filters, and share opportunities and updates more effectively, strengthening engagement across its community.
