Last Monday, April 28th, exactly a year after Bionexa was first launched in Milan, the Network for Scientific Collaboration Bionexa signed an important collaboration agreement with Nature Network.

Matt Brown, Editor of Nature Network, contacted Filippo Pacciarini, Bionexa’s Director of International Collaborations, expressing his interest in Bionexa’s work, particularly in generating a communication channel for the Latin-American scientific community. In conversation with Bionexa, Matt Brown said: “For Nature Network was a very pleasing surprise to learn about Bionexa. At Nature Publishing Group, we are aware that the communication we keep with the researchers and the science being done in developing countries is far from optimal. We believe that an alliance with Bionexa connects us in an effective way with that part of the world”.

The agreement seeks to promote the scientific contribution and the transfer of know-how and technologies between Latin American and developed countries, and it was signed at the Embassy of Chile in the United Kingdom, with the presence of Ambassador Rafael Moreno.

Cristián Hernández-Cuevas, Executive Director of Bionexa, emphasized that “This agreement is really important, as it greatly validates our efforts in connecting Spanish-speaking investigators. Nature Network are aware of numerous projects similar to Bionexa in the world, however, none as organized or specialized in the Latin American audiences as ours”.
