Yes, you are welcome to join the community platform when you are (currently) not working as a researcher. For example, when you work in a research support role, when you're teaching one one of our research themes, or when you work in a partner organization that works closely with an ENGAGE.EU university.

You are welcome to join our community platform, even when you're (currently) not working as a researcher. You can then fill in your profile with your previous disciplines and research themes, as well as methodological skills. In 'role' you can specify your current role. In 'bio' you can further explain what your role means, and why you joined the platform.
When you create an event/ a report/ a collaboration opportunity and even a group, you will be asked to select a research theme. This question is obligatory, since we need it for our filters, and it helps other community members to find your opportunity. Sometimes, it might not be evident for you to select a research theme. In that case you can select a theme that might be closest to the topic that you relate to. Also, you can decide to pick multiple themes, to indicate multidisciplinarity. If you really want to add an extra theme, you can contact the community manager, to find a solution.
Report & Inspire is our community's news section. You can add your own newsitem, blog or report here. We made a difference between Report and Inspire, where Report relates to story of an event that happened in the past. An Inspire article is something that you would like to share with the community, your draft ideas, a half-finished article or a blog item that you read somewhere else. When in doubt, you can always contact the community manager. Whichever you choose, your article will be read by our interested community.
