LabCircle.net: The first online business network for the global chemistry and life science community
Industry network for laboratory tech, analysis, biotech, chemistry and pharma
Contact networks help people gather information, search for business partners, find new customers and employees and post personal and company profiles. These immense networking capabilities are in contrast to the effort that would be needed to set up and maintain a functioning contact network, which should not be underestimated.
Thanks to LabCircle.net, now a globally oriented platform is available online that makes networking within various sectors of the chemistry and life-science sectors both simple and efficient. The objective of LabCircle.net is to give members an opportunity to make new contacts and improve existing ones around the clock.
In actual practice, LabCircle.net members post their company particulars and contact information as well as their interests and areas of expertise in an individual profile. An extensive range of search functions allows users to search among the members' profiles according to various criteria. These search functions can be used to research old acquaintances as well as new contacts who work at specific companies or in specific areas of expertise.
The invitation function at LabCircle.net is a convenient way to add other people to the personal network. Doing so makes their contact information available for communication. To ensure information privacy, each member decides for himself which information in his personal profile may be passed on to which members within the network. LabCircle also allows to analyze various networks and how they interact with one another to find out how many "degrees of separation" there are between various members.
If a earch fails to produce an appropriate contact in a specific area, professionally moderated forums on various industry topics allow to participate in open discussions. This is an effective way to find contacts for specific issues. At the same time, the forums are a medium for an open and, therefore, far-reaching exchange of information and transfer of know-how. The fact that LabCircle.net focuses on specific industries and its international orientation guarantee long range and the availability of competent contacts. The range of functions at LabCircle.net is rounded out by additional features like a calendar function for central scheduling and a mail-box function for direct communication.
LabCircle.net can be reached at www.labcircle.net. Basic membership is free of charge. Premium membership with additional benefits costs EUR 7.95 per month. When members register, they are granted one month of premium access for test purposes.
