A fond farewell

After five remarkable years as a scholarly communications and research infrastructure consultancy, the MoreBrains Cooperative has decided it is time to pursue new opportunities.

It has been a privilege to work alongside so many brilliant people across the global research ecosystem. Thank you for your partnership, your trust, and your friendship. MoreBrains is no longer taking on new work — but the team hasn't gone far.

Where we go from here
