Inspired by the vital exchange at academic conferences around the world, co-founders Sami Benchekroun, Justus Weweler, and Rino Montiel launched Morressier in 2014 to build an online platform for the very earliest research findings: conference content. Supported by renowned industry experts, and a fast-growing team, Morressier helps scientists accelerate their breakthroughs by making previously hidden early-stage research more discoverable. The platform hosts dynamic virtual and hybrid conferences and the content they produce: abstracts, posters, presentations, and proceedings, as well as datasets, videos, and negative results. This powerful aggregate opens up the entire scientific process from idea to published article and fosters a global discourse around early-stage research.
Sami has over ten years experience in academic conferences, scholarly publishing, and entrepreneurship. He drives Morressier's vision forward and is dedicated to bridging the gap between early-stage research and wider scholarly communications. Sami studied management at ESCP Europe.
