Virtual Meeting Rooms - Zoom

We installed the following virtual meeting rooms:

General auditorium

In the general auditorium all lectures and common activities will be organized. This room also have the possibility to separate in brake-out rooms if individual work has to be done within the groups. Note that this room is only open during the summer schools individual sessions. Join here for the start of the summer school.

Mentors room

This room is for the organization of the mentoring. During the mentoring times all mentors will be present there.

You can either ask a question in the chat or invite them to your group room to ask questions or discuss more complicated issues, respectively.

Individual group rooms

Each group will have an individual room for their discussion. These rooms are open 24/7 and can be used for your "group internal" discussions and communication whenever you like.

We also decided to keep these rooms accessible to all, in case two groups want to meet together. Yet this freedom also comes with the responsiblity to respect the privacy of each group. "Guest" should enter these rooms only after explizit invitation.

Background for Zoom

Please use the given background picture. Due to COVID-19 we cannot be together in one place, so lets use our background to feel being at one common place.

Please right click on this link to open the picture in a new window\tab or save image in your pc.

Afterwards please go the the zoom settings and chose "background and filters" to add the picture to zoom's background pitures.

The picture might also be used as background for your presentation.

Please make sure that the logos are visible.

Meeting area - Wonder

As alternative gathering place you can meet at the "Wonder Area". A short intro will be given at the session on introduction of electronic tools. The advantage is that you can roam between different rooms.

File Transfer - nCloud

During your assignments you need to exchange files and create results. For this reason each group has a cloud file space. The open folder is accessible by all and can be used for file exchange between the groups.

---Please right click in a new window\tab---
* Group 1 Folder
* Group 2 Folder
* Group 3 Folder
* Group 4 Folder
* Group 5 Folder
* Open Folder

Note it is mandatory that you store all results created during the summer school and student contest on this cloud. A result folder is created especially for this purpose. It will be used by the jury and academic board as well as for documentation for the European Commission co-sponsoring this summer school and student contest.

White board

Although you can activate a white board in zoom (via the button "share screen") and also save results as images, the zoom white board is not persistant.

We therefore created an online collaborative whiteboard platform to bring teams together, anytime, anywhere.
