For a small research organization like LIDDS, cooperation is a vital part of our operational model (way-of-working). The agile and efficient development of the company is dependent on external collaborations such as with academia, licensing partners, Contract Research Organizations (CROs), and Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs).
