However we invite all members to participate in the various modes of collaboration available in order to further develop their understanding of the practice of research and how to utilize its results.

Scientific collaboration can cover a range of activities, from simple informal queries posed to other Inspire members about an intriguing scientific question, discussions between a mentor and a new Patron member, all the way to formally structured scientific projects which require members of a research team to have particular skills for achieving specified research goals in support of funding requirements.
