Some PhD students have expertise that might also profit others. Others have problems or questions related to their PhD work with which a fellow PhD student might be able to help them. Exchange your questions and advices through this newsletter! Let your colleagues know what you are looking for or what you can offer, by sending an e-mail to PhD coordinator José van Aelst. Your call will be published in the next newsletter.

New website for graduate students
Many graduate students would significantly benefit if it were easier to find other students working on similar projects. To make that happen, Daniel Michael Colegate, a PhD student at the University of Durham (UK) created a website: www.graduatejunction.com.
The site is designed to be simple and easy to use, but with the serious purpose of linking up graduate researchers with similar interests working in different departments, institutions and countries. The response to the new website has been really good so far: over 1000 registrations in the first week and getting faster. If you want to find colleagues or 'soulmates' elsewhere in the world, see what graduatejunction.com can do for you!
