Science News, Research And Discussion Blog » Launch experience, user feedback and next steps We launched colwiz on 7th of March with a press release on the University of Oxford website. The initial launch was aimed at researchers at academic institutions from the US and the UK (signups restricted to .edu and .ac.uk domains). We were humbled by the response from the research community. Within 3 days, researchers from more than 300 institutions signed up and they are increasing each day. Some of the organisations where researchers are using colwiz include: MIT, Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Max Planck Institute, CERN, INRIA, GSK, IBM, Astra Zeneca, Samsung, NHS, Royal Society, IEEE, ACM, US Environmental Protection Agency, US Department of Energy and Idaho National Laboratory among many others.
