Findmeasupervisor changes its name for Researchout to better reflect its goal : enabling the research community to make breakthrough inventions and innovations that change the world, one research at a time. Most innovations we see today are the results of scientific discoveries and breakthroughs. Google Search, Facebook, Amazon or Airbnb would have not existed without a research program called ‘ARPANET’ [1], the ancestor of the Internet [2]. As a society, we need to support research communities as much as we can by helping students, researchers, research professionals and support staff to find relevant opportunities at the right moment, i.e. when needed the most.This is precisely what we aim to achieve with Researchout.

Researchout is a search engine :

  • Helping Students to find relevant research supervisors and projects for their internships, master, PhD or Postdoc in order to advance their research and professional careers, thus contributing to inventions and innovations (researchout.com/supervisors and researchout.com/projects)

  • Enabling Researchers to find students by posting their research projects and programs and making it visible for prospective students (researchout.com/projects button ‘Post a project’)

  • Helping Researchers to find relevant research collaborators when complementary expertise is needed for their research projects and/or programs (researchout.com/collaborators)

  • Helping the community to find opportunities in research by enabling students, researchers, research professionals, assistant and support staff to post research projects (researchout.com/projects)

Researchout is part of a diverse and rich ecosystem of tools and platforms promoting research such as social network (Researchgate and Unia), literature review automation platform (iris.ai), reference management software (Mendeley), etc. As diversity is a major key factor enhancing innovation [3], we believe that Researchout search engine has a crucial place in the research ecosystem and can help you find what you need to achieve your research goals.
