We welcome your comments which may be posted on the blog: http://imechanica.org/node/9794 Google Workspace Account: ESIS activated an agreement with Google. All the ESIS members receive (completely free of charge) the credentials for an "improved" Google account, for example with a Google Drive of 30 Gb instead of the standard 15 Gb (the value of this service is about 50 euros per year). Many new services are active in the Google Workspace (e.g., Classroom, that is really useful for the organization of Summer Schools) and other services are improved if compared to the "standard" Google services. Here you can find some details: - Google Classroom: https://support.google.com/edu/classroom/?hl= en#topic=6020277 - Google Sites: https://gsuite.google.com/learningcenter/products/sites/get-started/ - Google Drive: https://gsuite.google.com/learningcenter/products/drive/ More details are available in the Google Learning center (https://gsuite.google.com/learning-center/) It is important to underline that with the activation of the Google Workspace account, each ESIS member: - automatically guarantee that he/she will not misuse the account; - understand that he/she is not authorized to send emails using the @structuralintegrity.eu account as ESIS. These Google Workspace accounts allowed us to activate some new services: - Each Technical Committee has now its own “miniwebsite”, with the possibility to directly update the information. - For each Technical Committee, a shared Google Drive folder is active. Filling the FORM and joining the TCs (one or more, it doesn't matter!), each ESIS member is able to share his/her publications (in the pre-print format), giving them more evidence, and each ESIS member will be always updated about the papers published by the other TC members on the topics of his/her interest (and, obviously, about the TC activities).
