2. Join ELIXIR Europe expert working groups

   Mark as done

   This is how you get onto the ELIXIR intranet. Open a group's page and press Join at the bottom. You sign in with LS Login, and you're added to that group's mailing list and the intranet. Join as many groups as you like.

   • Platforms: build and run ELIXIR's core services. Members only.
   • Communities: bring together experts in a life science area. Most meet in person once a year.
   • Focus Groups: time-limited groups working on one topic.

   Info on the groups

3. Log in to the ELIXIR intranet

   Mark as done

   Once you've joined a group, log in with LS Login. The intranet has the Handbook of Operations, ELIXIR templates and logos, All Hands registration, and details of travel grants and staff exchange. You can manage your groups there too.
