+# Collaborations
+
+In addition to the [software projects](/projects) lead by the Neuroinformatics Unit, we have many 
+collaborations with research labs and other research software engineering teams. 
+
+## Sainsbury Wellcome Centre & Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit
+We have many internal collaborations to build or productionise software including:
+- Data analysis tools for long term physiology and behavioural recordings ([Project Aeon](https://sainsburywellcomecentre.github.io/aeon_docs/))
+- Behavioural analysis pipelines (e.g. [WAZP](https://github.com/SainsburyWellcomeCentre/WAZP), 
+[crabs-exploration](https://github.com/SainsburyWellcomeCentre/crabs-exploration)) with the 
+[Branco](https://www.sainsburywellcome.org/web/groups/branco-lab) 
+and [Margrie](https://www.sainsburywellcome.org/web/groups/margrie-lab) labs (also a collaboration with the 
+[UCL Advanced Research Computing Centre](https://www.ucl.ac.uk/advanced-research-computing/advanced-research-computing-centre))
+- Assisting in the productionisation of [Neural Playground](https://github.com/SainsburyWellcomeCentre/NeuralPlayground), 
+a software framework enabling comparison between hippocampus and entorhinal cortex models
+- Data processing pipelines with the 
+[SWC Advanced Microscopy Facility](https://www.sainsburywellcome.org/web/content/advanced-microscopy), e.g. 
+[brainglobe-stitch](https://github.com/brainglobe/brainglobe-stitch)
+- Multiphoton microscopy preprocessing and analysis tools with the 
+[Margrie](https://www.sainsburywellcome.org/web/groups/margrie-lab) lab (e.g. 
+[rsp-vision](https://github.com/neuroinformatics-unit/rsp-vision) and 
+[derotation](https://github.com/neuroinformatics-unit/derotation))
+- BrainGlobe atlas building and validation with the [Akrami lab](https://www.sainsburywellcome.org/web/groups/akrami-lab). 
+
+## UCL
+We have an ongoing collaboration with many members of the 
+[UCL Advanced Research Computing Centre](https://www.ucl.ac.uk/advanced-research-computing/advanced-research-computing-centre)
+to develop computational neuroanatomy ([BrainGlobe](https://brainglobe.info/)) and behavioural analysis tools
+(e.g. [WAZP](https://github.com/SainsburyWellcomeCentre/WAZP),
+[crabs-exploration](https://github.com/SainsburyWellcomeCentre/crabs-exploration))
+
+## External
+- We have an ongoing collaboration with the [Keshavarzi Laboratory](https://www.keshavarzilab.com/) at the University 
+of Cambridge to build multiple tools, including [movement](https://movement.neuroinformatics.dev/) and 
+[DataShuttle](https://datashuttle.neuroinformatics.dev/)
+- We contribute to multiple open source projects, including [SpikeInterface](https://spikeinterface.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
