Connecting researchers with project owners worldwide
Understanding our role in research collaboration
Science Contact Hub (SCH) is an independent online platform that facilitates initial contact between individual researchers and project owners who are seeking research collaboration. SCH does not conduct research, manage projects or participate in scientific outputs.
The platform is intended for project owners who have already secured funding or institutional support and wish to diversify their collaborator base or access expertise beyond their immediate academic or organisational proximity. It is also intended for researchers seeking to contribute to externally defined projects.
SCH acts solely as a connector. It enables visibility and first contact between researchers and project owners. SCH does not supervise, validate, endorse or monitor any collaboration, research activity or output.
SCH does not guarantee the authenticity, quality, originality or ethical compliance of any research conducted through connections made on the platform. All responsibility for research conduct and outcomes rests entirely with the collaborating parties.
SCH does not receive payment, commission or fees from researchers or project owners. The platform does not act as an intermediary in contracts, funding arrangements or remuneration discussions.
SCH strongly encourages all users to follow recognised best practices in research integrity and ethics, including responsible authorship, transparency, appropriate attribution, ethical approvals where required and compliance with institutional and legal frameworks.
This section is intended for researchers at different career stages who wish to express interest in participating in externally led research projects. SCH does not act as an employer, supervisor or research sponsor.
By submitting a profile, researchers make their expertise visible to project owners who are seeking collaborators. SCH may introduce researchers to project owners, but does not participate further in the collaboration.
Researchers remain fully responsible for the integrity, originality, ethical compliance and accuracy of their contributions. SCH does not review, assess or verify research work, data or conclusions.
Researchers are expected to adhere to established academic standards, including avoidance of plagiarism, appropriate data handling, respect for intellectual property and compliance with disciplinary and institutional norms.
This section is intended for individuals or organisations managing funded or institutionally supported research projects who are seeking additional expertise or wish to broaden their collaborator base.
SCH supports project owners by increasing visibility of their collaboration needs and by enabling contact with researchers whose expertise may complement existing teams.
SCH does not verify researcher credentials, affiliations or prior outputs. Project owners are solely responsible for conducting their own assessment, selection and due diligence.
Project owners are responsible for ensuring that projects comply with relevant ethical standards, data protection rules, contractual obligations and institutional policies.
Our platform prioritizes research integrity and maintains complete independence from commercial interests.
