Pathfinder as game-changer

Due to a lack of training and experience, most academic projects are managed inefficiently. For instance, PhD students extend their projects by 10 months on average, costing universities $40,000 more per student, simply because most researchers don't know how to manage their projects. We are here to challenge this status quo at universities around the world, and introduce the first-ever academic project management framework.
