As every keyword have certain experts associated with it, based on their area of expertise. Can we initiate a devoted section for research collaboration, especially for the calls requiring bilateral or multinational collaborator?
Presently, My group is looking for a German collaborator in the area of " High performance based C-C composites" on following call "http://www.dst.gov.in/sites/default/files/DST-DFG-JointCall-10AUG2018.pdf"
Finding it difficult to have a relevant and interested group from Germany. kindly text me if anyone finds this call interesting.
Please share how I should proceed to search for interested researchers from Germany, My present approach is searching research papers on said area and mailing to the researcher if find relevant.
If you add a project to your profile, and put some description, relevant papers, existing collaborators etc., this project will be shown in the feed of people working on these topics. Maybe then somebody will contact you!
Thank you for your reply, this I am trying already. But 'waiting' is passive and less preferred if we compare with 'approaching'. If like we have Job section available on research gate, we have collaboration section, it could have a lot easier to approach.
Yes I agree with you Ajitanshu Vedrtnam to keep collaboration section in RG just like jobs, it will be very useful for the researchers who is looking for collaoration.
Adding a project with description to the profile is also suggested as of now Christin Buechner . but the news feed is limited to only the followers and the research instrests what we have added.
Collaboration builds mutual understanding and mutual interest. That requires frequent discussion on the topic of mutual interest. You may use RG to search profiles of the people of your subject area and request them for the discussion on some topics. After regular discussion you will come to know whether both of you have developed good mutual understanding or not.
