Strategic balance between internal and external expertise

::The ongoing dialogue between Danone researchers and outside research teams enables knowledge to be shared and working hypotheses to be mutually scrutinized and advanced. This complementarity gives rise to high-level scientific collaborative work on themes that constitute priorities for Danone: prebiotics, probiotics, the intestinal microbiota, nutrition, bone health, cardiovascular health, immunology, neurosciences, etc.

The results of those scientific collaborations are the subject of communications at international scientific congresses and are reported in peer-review scientific journals. Moreover, in 2008, Danone Research opted to make the group's research findings available to the scientific community via the open-access portal: Science2share. Danone Research published 48 articles in 2009.
