Our story
It's the story of an IS/IT manager supporting researchers, who had the vision of an IT platform integrating research information (CRIS), repositories for scientific publications, intelligence and social networks, but she couldn't implement it in her environment. That's how started IS4RI, Information Systems for Research and Innovation, in 2012. Thereafter, a colleague of her joined the adventure.
Three years later... It's the story of two IT engineers who were helping innovators to collaborate and develop their knowledge. They got hold of obsolete computers from a client, and fancied they could use them to teach IT to their children and their friends. Graines2Tech was born.
