Remote collaborations deliver fewer scientific breakthroughs

Remote teams are less likely to make breakthrough discoveries compared to those who work onsite, according to research published today, which was led by the universities of Oxford and Pittsburgh into the rise of remote collaborations among scientists and inventors across the world.

In their study published in Nature, the researchers’ key finding was that, while remote collaboration has the potential to deliver new and creative scientific ideas through easier access to a global knowledge pool, it is harder for such teams to integrate effectively to deliver breakthroughs.
