Medical research collaboration/Delivered and in service
Website for a research collaboration across borders
A research group that has collaborated across the Nordic countries since 2005 needed a common point of reference online. Care programmes, studies and meetings now sit in one place instead of in email threads.

Where the time went
Nordic MPN Study Group has collaborated since 2005 on research into and treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasms, with participants from several Nordic countries and institutions.
A collaboration that reaches across borders needs one place for care programmes, studies and meetings. Without it the information ends up in email threads and attachments, where it is hard to find again and harder still to know whether it is the current version.
What we built
We built the site from scratch in WordPress. Care programmes, ongoing studies, events and news are openly available, while the members area behind a login holds what is internal.
The site is in English, because the participants sit in several countries and English is the working language of the collaboration. That way everyone reads the same version, wherever they are.
How it works
Care programmes available
The programmes are published and easy to find, instead of circulating as attachments of uncertain vintage.
Studies and meetings together
Ongoing studies and upcoming events each have their place, updated from one spot.
Members area behind a login
What is internal sits behind a sign-in, and the rest is open and findable in search.
One working language across countries
The site is in English, so participants in every Nordic country work from the same content.
What they were left with
The collaboration has a common point of reference. Care programmes, studies and meetings sit where they belong, and participants in several countries work from the same current version instead of from their own copies.
One shared point of reference for a collaboration that reaches across several countries.

The same recipe, other sectors
The same holds for any organisation whose people are spread out and have to work from the same documents.
- Research networks with participants at several institutions.
- Groups or chains where every branch has to follow the same written procedure.
- Project collaborations between several companies with shared documentation.
- Associations with local chapters that need both shared and their own content.
