Every open study, in front of the right student.

Collega connects students with the researchers who need them. Every open study in one place, always up to date, matched to the people who fit it.

Today: scattered, out of dateOn Collega: one live card

Good research gets missed.

  1. Scattered.Studies hide on noticeboards, in mailing lists and in word of mouth.
  2. Out of date.What is posted is rarely current. By the time a student finds it, it's closed.
  3. Hard to search.Students don't know what to look for, or where. Researchers don't know who's out there.

Collega puts every open study in one place, up to date, and shows each student the ones that fit.

Simple on both sides.

Connections no one thought of.

Start inside one faculty. Open it to the whole university. Then, if you choose, to universities in other countries. Each step is your decision.

What your faculty gets.

  • Researchers get help faster

    They post once and get a short list of students who fit. No sifting.

  • Students get real research experience

    Hours, stage and what they get are clear before anyone says yes.

  • You see research activity across the faculty

    Which studies are open, where help is needed, who has been placed.

  • A partnership, not another tool to run

    You bring your researchers and students on board. We take care of the technology.

A short list, never a crowd

Researchers see a few students who fit, and choose. Nobody browses people.

Clear terms, up front

Every study shows hours, stage and what the student gets before anyone applies.

Is Collega tied to one university?

No. Collega is an independent platform. Each university decides how far it opens: one faculty, the whole university, or beyond.

Which fields does it work for?

Any field that runs research: medicine and life sciences, exact sciences, engineering, social sciences, the humanities and more.

How does the matching work?

Researchers say what they need: the question, hours a week, the stage and skills that fit, and what the student gets. Students see the studies that fit them and say yes to the ones they like. Each researcher gets a short list of the best fits, with variety, and chooses after a short call.

How much work is it for researchers?

Posting a study takes about a minute. They never sift through piles of applications: they get a short list and choose.

Who can join as a student?

Anyone studying for a degree or recently graduated, from a first degree to a PhD.

Where is the data kept?

In the EU, with data protection agreed with your team before anyone joins.

Can we try it on our own first?

We'd rather show you. Book a 20-minute call and we'll walk you through the app with your faculty in mind.

I'm a student or a researcher. How do I join?
