Individual registration

The form below is the real first step, exactly as it will be asked. In this preview it is checked in your own browser and goes no further — no account is created, nothing is transmitted, and nothing is kept once you close the tab.

Create your account

Eight questions, and only six of them are required. Everything that makes a record worth reading — your institution, your field, your work, your evidence — comes after this, once there is an account to attach it to.

Who you are

Full name Required

As it should appear on your record, in the order you write it.

Email address Required

Verification is sent here, and this becomes how you sign in.

Mobile number Optional

Optional now. Needed later only if you choose to verify by phone or to use it as a second factor.

Country Required

Where you are based now, not where you are from.

Choose one Nigeria Algeria Angola Australia Benin Botswana Brazil Burkina Faso Cabo Verde Cameroon Canada China Congo, Democratic Republic of the Côte d'Ivoire Egypt Ethiopia France Gambia Germany Ghana Guinea Guinea-Bissau India Ireland Italy Japan Kenya Liberia Malaysia Mali Morocco Namibia Netherlands Niger Rwanda Saudi Arabia Senegal Sierra Leone Singapore South Africa South Korea Spain Sweden Switzerland Tanzania Togo Tunisia Türkiye Uganda United Arab Emirates United Kingdom United States Zambia Zimbabwe

What describes you best right now Required

This only decides which questions you are asked next. It is not a category you are stuck in, and it is not a judgement about your work.

Your password

Do not enter a password you use elsewhere

This page is a design preview, not the registration service. Nothing you type is sent, saved or remembered, and no one at YoureNX can see it — but a password typed into a page that is not yet a service is a password you should treat as spent. Invent one here, or wait until the service opens.

Password Required

At least twelve characters, with upper and lower case and a number. Length matters more than symbols.

Repeat password Required

Typed again, so a slip does not lock you out of your own record.

Before you continue

I have read the Terms of Use and the Privacy Notice, and I agree to them.

Checking happens in this browser. Nothing leaves the page, no account is opened, and no verification message is sent to you.

What happens after this form

Registration is the shortest part. What follows is the part that makes a record mean something, and each step is yours to take at your own pace — an account with nothing behind it stays private and unranked.

2. 02

   Confirm you are reachable

   A code goes to your email, and to your phone if you gave one. Until an address is confirmed, nothing about you can be published and no institution can see you — which also means a mistyped address costs you nothing but a second attempt.

3. 03

   Say where you study or work

   Your institution, faculty, department, programme and level, or your organisation, role and years of practice. Naming an institution does not give it control of your record; it lets that institution corroborate the parts it can actually vouch for.

4. 04

   Declare what you are working towards

   Up to five domains, then three questions in your own words: the problem you are trying to solve, what you are building now, and what makes your approach different. Together these become your horizon statement, and it is the part of a record people read first.

5. 05

   Put evidence behind it

   Papers, repositories, filings, prototypes, results, awards, transcripts, testimonials — whatever exists. Every item is examined individually and can be corroborated, questioned or withdrawn. Nothing is required, and unverified evidence is labelled as such rather than quietly counted.

How far registration takes you

Standing on YoureNX is a ladder, not a badge, and this form puts you on the bottom rung. Every rung above it is earned by evidence somebody else was willing to confirm.

Registered

An account exists. Nothing is visible to anyone else, and nothing is claimed on your behalf. This is where the form above leaves you.

Confirmed

Your email, and your phone if you added one, have been verified as reachable.

Affiliated

An institution or organisation you named has been matched, so your context is established.

Evidence submitted

You have put material behind your claims. It is on the record as submitted, and openly labelled as not yet examined.

Evidence verified

Someone competent to judge it has examined the material and said so, in their own name and on a date.

Horizon candidate

Enough verified evidence to be considered in discovery, where institutions and partners can find you.

Trailblazer

A record examined and corroborated to the standard YoureNX exists to defend.

Horizon alumni

Trailblazers whose trajectory is now a matter of record, and whose earlier evidence stays readable.

Registering for an organisation instead?

This pathway is for a person. If you are opening an account for a university, polytechnic, research institute, agency or foundation, use the institutional pathway. If you are a company, hub or investor with roles, funding or facilities to place, use the industry partner pathway. An organisational account can read and corroborate the record; it can never add a person to it.
