What we’re about
Doing a PhD or Masters can be a lonely grind—but it doesn’t have to be. This group is for graduate researchers across all disciplines who want to make the research journey a little more social and a lot more supportive.
We will meet at different study-friendly venues around Melbourne—libraries, cafes, campuses—to work alongside each other, share motivation, and build a network of fellow researchers who get it. Whether you’re smashing through a lit review, untangling a methodology section, or just trying to stay awake through edits, you don’t have to do it alone.
This isn’t about chatting all day—it’s about mutual support, a shared sense of rhythm, and someone to watch your laptop while you grab coffee or join you for lunch. Respect for each other’s goals and focus levels is key.
Come along to connect, co-work, and make the research process less isolating and a bit more human.
