- Free
- Contact details private
- Professors-only posts
Choose Professor as your profile type to post professors-only collaborations.
What you can post
Each post says what kind of collaboration it is, so people can filter for what they can offer.

- Data sharing or field site access
- Lab or equipment access
- Joint supervision of a PhD student
- Visiting researcher or exchange
- Writing or analysis help on a paper
How it works
- Step 1
Post what you need
Choose the kind of collaboration, the field and country, and describe the project.
- Step 2
Researchers ask to connect
Each request comes with a short note: who they are and what they’d bring.
- Step 3
You accept or decline
Accepting shares your contact details with them. Declining shares nothing.
- Step 4
Work it out together
Email, or keep talking in Inested messages.
Open to collaborate
List what you offer and what you need, without writing a post. Your confirmed publications appear beside it, so people can see your work.
Offers: Soil samples from 12 regions in Ghana
Needs: Someone with isotope analysis
You decide who reaches you
Your email and phone stay hidden until you accept a request. Professors can also keep a post among professors only, out of view of students and visitors.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes. Posting, asking to connect and listing yourself as open to collaborate are free.
Who sees my email address?
No one, until you accept their request to connect. People write a short note first; when you accept, they see the contact details you added to the post. You can also talk through Inested messages without sharing an email at all.
Can I keep a post among professors?
Yes. When a professor posts, they can choose "Professors only". Students and visitors don’t see those posts.
How do people find my post?
On the Collaboration page, where researchers filter posts by type, field and country, and search by title, area or name.
What does "open to collaborate" do?
It lists you on the Collaboration page with what you offer and what you need, next to your confirmed publications, so the right people can message you even before you post anything.
Your next collaborator may be in another country
Post what you need, or list what you can offer. It’s free.
