Interactive and educational platforms that allow individuals to participate in scientific research and data collection through play
We develop new ways to use popular games to solve scientific problems and make valuable research progress.
The video game of tomorrow becomes a responsible way to participate in resolving scientific and social problems. They connect and build trust of society in science and game industry.
- Reliable: we are responsible for our scientific outcomes
- Trustworthy: we believe in strong partnership
- Focused: we love projects with concrete impact and deliverables
- Educational: we communicate science to people
- Talant development: we constantly grow new talents
