Innovation

Collaborative research

Sopinspace is a partner into two on-going collaborative R&D / innovation projects :

Internal research

Sopinspace is an innovative firm that was founded by Philippe Aigrain in 2004. Sopinspace conducts a significant internal research effort, centered on the design and experimentation of innovative software components for debate and cooperation using the Internet.

In 2004 and 2005, our innovation activity was focused on the design of thematic and argument map systems that can be used during the course of an on-line debate. The Glinkr® Web service is part of the outcome of this activity.
