The meeting put so much more life on the bones of the Elsevier Grand Challenge, and encourages us to go forward and participate more."

"The Grand Challenge was a great example of Elsevier's initiative to accelerate science by collaborating with scientists." said Challenge Judge Rafael Sidi, VP of Product Management with ScienceDirect.
