The IFMRS Knowledge Network
One of the main challenges we’ve identified through discussions so far is the need to overcome existing knowledge gaps and knowledge barriers – in other words, the need to make good knowledge about MSK research more easily and more widely accessible, and to build a strong international knowledge-sharing network around that. The “Knowledge Network” is the IFMRS’ attempt to begin to address this challenge.

Virtual Library

MSK Knowledge Portal
The MSK-KP is an open-access resource that aggregates, integrates, analyzes, and displays ‘omic results relevant to musculoskeletal traits and diseases. The MSK-KP will facilitate and accelerate musculoskeletal disease research by comprehensively amassing and distilling “big data” to make them accessible to all researchers.

HubLE
The HubLE is the IFMRS Online Learning Environment for young investigators in the musculoskeletal (MSK) field. We aim at empowering early investigators to share, network, and engage in discussion and dialogue with other researchers and professionals from across the world.
