Platform to highlight current postgraduate projects?

I appreciate your opinions, I was just interested in a tool to both inform and highlight the type of work currently being conducted across the UK, for people like myself who may have just started a PhD or are looking to proceed with postgraduate study.

If you're looking for that, then you can look at any research group in the UK on their university page and look at their publications.

This tells you the work of the research group and thus what a prospective PhD student might be doing. Most of the publications are PhD student work of course. Most of these will be building on other work by the group or working in similar areas using similar techniques. Many groups have their own websites as well with more information.

I see what you mean, having a database would be helpful, but I think it would be out of date very quickly, as many people would make the entry once and then it would be left there.

So I may be stating the obvious by suggesting that some form of monthly magazine highlighting current projects would have little to no appeal to either prospective students or current postgrads (in your opinion)?

Thanks for the reply, how would publishing in a society member magazine be different though? Would it be possible to develop a platform that is cross-institutions, highlighting current projects perhaps with a short lay summary?

Sure, we have a similar thing here, but there is nothing online or in print that helps to promote ongoing projects? I cant seem to find anything anyway.

Is there currently a platform to publish the work of current postgraduates projects? More specifically in the UK? By publish I mean to highlight ongoing project work? I have tried to research this but have not found too much on the matter? Would it help with potential collaborations, especially in these uncertain times?
