Your new email address is waiting for you. One that's actually yours. Forever.

Apply for a ScholarMail email address

ScholarMail provides researchers with a permanent academic email address that stays with them throughout and beyond their career — independent of changing institutional affiliations and variable IT department policies.

Most researchers publish using university-issued email addresses that expire when they change institution or transition to non-academic sectors. This can result in broken correspondence links in publications, lost collaboration opportunities, and outdated contact details on CVs, profiles, and elsewhere. In modern academia, your email address is a fundamental part of your identity — and it shouldn’t disappear because of circumstances outside of your control.

ScholarMail solves this by offering a persistent, professional forwarding address (e.g., firstname.lastname@scholarmail.org) that routes mail to your current email of choice. If you move institution or update your personal address, you simply change your forwarding destination — without having to update email addresses across your published work and other academic outputs, online profiles, CV, and other professional materials.

It is, and always will be, free to use and run as a public-benefit, non-commercial project by the academic community, for the academic community.

Please read about the project before applying.
