Following the communication sent last 17 February by Prof. Tullo Pozzan, Director of the Department ofBiomedical Sciences, researchers and technologists of the DSB were invited to view the quality4lab platform (http://quality4lab.cnr.it) built by the qPMO network and to respond to a dedicated questionnaire. These 15 questions were about the subjects of research and knowledge management and using the platform as a tool to collect/disseminate the expertise present within the CNR, particularly with an eye to the application of Quality methodologies that can be useful in research. About a hundred researchers belonging to various Institutes of the DSB responded to the questionnaire, showing a general interest in the issues under investigation, the desire to further explore them through ad hoc training courses and a high regard for the platform. Full results will soon be presented to the Director of the DSB and published on the quality4lab site
