A group of prospect researchers has set up an online discussion forum for prospect
researchers who research prospects throughout Europe.

The europrospecting group has been set up using Yahoo! Groups’ free service.

Jude Woodger, Research and Communications Officer at Oxfam GB, explained the need
for the forum on the prospect-research-uk forum.

“Prospect research into Europe… can prove quite tricky and researchers can face 
cultural and language barriers”, she wrote, “as well as trouble accessing information
and resources. This group has been set up to help those prospecting into Europe –
where they can swap ideas, knowledge, news as well as ask questions and share frustrations”.

There is no charge to use the group but applications need to be approved by the 
moderator.

The group is so new that no messages have been posted yet, but there are already
28 members.
