The Universal Index of Post Doctoral Dissertations:

This site holds a database of doctoral dissertations in progress around the world. The site is an open academic community effort to:
- Avoid duplications in doctoral dissertations
- Create the ultimate meeting place for researchers
- Allow for interaction between them

Had this facility existed a few years ago, I might not have ended up having to change the scope of my PhD in its second year, having found that someone else was researching the same topic! See the above page for full details - in English, French and Spanish. Access to the site is free, but registration is required.
