Groups (groups of interest)

This set of functionalities aims at allowing PhD students subgroups (or PhD students + senior researchers) to work on a specific issue. A group of interest is defined by a topic, a description, a set of administrators, a set of members and a workspace that can contain a Forum, a Chat or a File exchange zone.

If you wish to create a workzone please contact Jérôme Zeiliger + Pierre Tchounikine. Workzones can be created upon request for groups of PhD students (or PhD students + senior researchers) who share an interest and would benefit from a specific virtual place to collaborate.

Forum

This is a forum to discuss general issues whilst not creating a specific group of interest. The Forum is restricted to PhD students.

This provides an access to different documents issued from Kaleidoscope such as the deliverables of the SIGs (Special Interest Groups), ERTs (European Research Teams) and JEIRPs (Jointly Executed Integrating Research Projects) and also other specific documents (list of courses proposed by Kaleidoscope members, etc.).
