REX is the Collaboratory Science Research Exchange Platform, led by IGDORE USA.
This open source science technology allows members to share the resources that make research possible. We work with unaffiliated and independent researchers who request institutional support across the entire research lifecyle.

Benefits
All open science practitioners are welcome to join and contribute at any level. We host Institutional and Individual members at no cost.
Individual
Scholars, makers, innovators, research professionals, citizen scientists, and OS practitioners are welcome at IGDORE USA. At this time, our focus is on building a robust platform of talented researchers, research facilities, research equipment, and shared resources. Individual members can participate by adding their expertise, skills, and availability to our talent pool. This will help us connect with members for paid and voluntary roles.
Institutional
Institutional members include makerspaces, public and private labs, universities, libraries, non-profits, and corporate partners who support our mission by providing limited access to research assets. Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) agreements will be negotiated with an authorized point of contact to outline the terms and limitations of access, including fees and legal liabilities. These agreements are critical enablers of sovereign research and represent the cutting edge of open science praxis.
