The document summarizes the development of BioSciencePEI, an online community for connecting people and resources in Prince Edward Island's bioscience sector. It describes initial conversations in 2009-2011 about creating such a network, which led to the launch of BioSciencePEI in November 2011. The site was created as a private, branded community on an interactive platform. It aims to allow for connecting, communicating, sharing, collaborating and acts as a repository for webinars, presentations and other resources for the bioscience community in PEI.
