Frequently Asked Questions

I am already registered. How do I become approved?

If you are not yet an approved user, please click the 'register as an approved user' link on the login page and fill in your company details. You will then need to email to apply for approved user status.

Why can't I find what I'm looking for?

The OBN website is undergoing a major overhaul between November 1st 2007 and January 31st 2008, we apologise if you have experienced a problem finding the information you need. OBN aims to make the site an excellent source of knowledge about the Oxford and South East biocluster by April 2008. As this is a community web portal, we rely on our members to upload new information. Please register as a member and submit content to use for your profile, uploading your company's jobs and news. Contact the OBN office for help finding out what you need to know: +44 1865 594640

How do I upload my company details?

First you will need to register as an approved user. Once you have been approved, you will receive an email confirming this, and you will be able to edit your company details from MyOBN or click Login/Register. To be able to upload a fully publically viewable company profile, rather than a brief entry, you will need to become an OBN Member - take a look at the Membership Benefits.

What are the charges against being an 'approved' user?

Companies and other organisations can register for Approved status to register for events, and display a very brief company profile (100 words only) as non-members.  However, Associate Member organisations can display a full partnering profile in our directory, including Company Mission and a Partnering Profile which includes a summary of products, services and technologies, details of collaborations and client portfolio, partnering strategy, and corporate highlights

Additionally, Full Members can upload information about their company's Financing History, Board of Directors, Senior Management, Product Pipeline and Licensing Opportunities. Find out about the Cost of Membership in OBN
