The Graduate Junction www.graduatejunction.com is the first website to bring together Masters, Doctoral and Postdoctoral researchers from any discipline around the globe. It aims to provide an easy way to meet and communicate with others who share common research interests in a global multi-disciplinary environment. Through The Graduate Junction you can learn about current research being undertaken by other graduate researchers all over the world. The Graduate Junction also aims to become a central source of relevant information.
This new free online resource has been developed by graduate researchers at Durham and Oxford University (UK). They have designed a simple, easy to use platform which only provides relevant information and functionality. More information about The Graduate Junction?s vision, its Team and university testimonials are available online.
Launched in May 2008, early versions of The Graduate Junction, with limited publicity, attracted more than 8000 researchers from over 70 countries to register. Now with a redesigned site, an expanded Team and articles in well established press such as The Chronicle of Higher Education (US) and The Times Higher Education (UK), the community is growing rapidly.
Please help us to build an online global graduate research community. If presently you cannot find exact matches to your research interests, fill in some very basic details about your own research and as the news spreads, others will be able to find and contact you! The information listings have only just been added so it will take some time to provide comprehensive coverage. If you are organizing a conference or involved with a graduate journal and want to list it for free please contact us. If you support our vision please help us spread the news to other researchers at your institution.

The Graduate Junction is a valuable resource for graduate students and post-docs who want to share ideas and communicate about common concerns. It also aggregates and provides resources. These include conference calls, information on programs and degrees, fellowship announcements, and job listings.
The interface is well designed and the service is useful. I am certain that many universities will make The Graduate Junction part of their information repertoire. I'll be recommending this site to our graduate students and we will see about using it to let others know about our offerings and activities.
