The announcement that ScholarlyMinds was selected as semi-finalist of the Intel Challenge 2010 confirms the potential of our product and services for academics.

Thank you all for your continuous support!

Christian & Jochen

Out of more than a hundred competing ideas, ScholarlyMinds was selected and awarded with this year's Kick Start Award by Oxford Entrepreneurs. We are very proud about this distinction for internet and technology entrepreneurs affirming our venture. Thank you very much!

We have been quiet for a while now, but by no means lazy!
After investing putting in some late hours, we have now developed a
crawler prototype which will help us immensely aggregating content on
our site. We are still testing the prototype on a small set of sources
but don't you worry: the big push will come soon!
Also, we passed the first round and have now been invited to pitch
ScholarlyMinds.com in front of Agile Ventures' proven and successful
entrepreneurs Mark Pritchard and Andy Yates. Saying that we are
excited you be a modest understatement! Should we make it through and
get the offered seed investment and invaluable advice, we could
finally afford to employ these great few people that we keep on that
always-open Rolodex under: awesome! And development could be pushed
hard to bring ScholarlyMinds.com home...Fingers crossed for next week
:-)

Since its creation by the European Union more than seven years ago, the European Research Area (ERA) enabled researchers to benefit from pan-European and international research networks, optimised and opened research programmes in order to support the best research throughout Europe and, moreover, developed strong links with partners around the world so that Europe benefits from the worldwide progress of knowledge.  ScholarlyMinds is very proud to be an official partner of ERA as a central pillar of the EU 'Lisbon Strategy' for the European 'broad-based innovation strategy' and the creation of a European Higher Education Area.

We are very proud to announce that the Careers Service of the University of Oxford, one of the best university careers services in the world, and ScholarlyMinds, your central online resource for academically relevant content, have recently agreed to form a close collaboration giving our users access to even more information and services - for free, at any time and anywhere.

Christian & Jochen

Sure, many data are somewhere out there on the internet, but who consolidates this plethora of fragmented academic information? - We do! ScholarlyMinds is your central online resource for academically relevant content.
We Consolidate and Connect, You Capitalise and Comment...
Check it out...;o)

Okay we can let the cat out of the bag... After carefully listening to our users, considering our mentors and other creative minds’ advise, and, of coure, learning from mistakes, we decided to shift the focus of our site from community to content. Now, you do not need to register anymore to search and find, list and review relevant information on research, events, funding, jobs and other academics worldwide – get access to core information in academia, simple and free.

That’s right, we have been quiet here, but believe us, that does not mean that we have been quiescent. In fact, over the last few weeks, we have been quite busy improving our services and preparing the re-launch of our site – be curious and watch that space...and the fotos attached ;o)

Good things come to those who wait, they say. After almost one year of
pregnancy or rather preparation, our long awaited baby,
ScholarlyMinds, was born last night! – Well, she is certainly not
perfect (yet) but we are excited and optimistic about her future.
 
Apart from welcoming the newborn, I would like to thank all
obstetricians: mainly Jochen, Steve, Javier and Thomas, who invested
many hours and money, but also Jerome and Pete, who provided crucial
advice and support. ScholarlyMinds is the result of numerous
productive, but not always easy, meetings either in Oxford or online.
Thank you for your patience and support!
 
While we gave birth to the little one, from now on ScholarlyMinds
requires your acceptance and help to thrive and prosper; ultimately,
you are ScholarlyMinds.
 
On behalf of the whole team,
Christian@scholarlyminds.com
