Names are the sweetest and most important sound in any language   (Dale Carnegie)

Researcher connectivity is always important but never more so than in a time of change.

One way is to register on Piirus – a free networking website where researchers worldwide can connect, collaborate, find the best jobs and access independent consultancy opportunities.

Make Connections – You’ll be part of a community of researchers who are looking to make connections with researchers around the world. You’ll have exclusive access to great minds. You’ll grow your network.

Be Global – Piirus is an international network with members from all over the world. So by becoming a member you’ll make interdisciplinary and international connections that will keep your research fresh and support your career in your institution and beyond.

Share you Expertise – You can quickly find and collaborate with people in the same field or researchers who can bring different perspectives and expertise from across disciplines and in different methodologies, to support your specialised projects.

Increase your Visibility – You can build a digital profile for you and your research making it visible to people around the world.

Engage with the blog – this month there is a thought-provoking article on academic inspiration
