Join the INDoS network

We are always looking for collaboration opportunities with:

  • Researchers: Join our research activities and contribute to publications
  • Industry Partners: Apply our methodologies to real-world problems
  • Students: Participate in training schools and Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs)
  • Funding Agencies: Support our research and networking activities

If you are interested in joining as a member or participant, you can sign up for an e-COST account and join one of the working groups on the COST website. As soon as your request to join has been processed, you will be added to the respective mailing lists.

If you have questions, please contact one of the the working group coordinators.

How to join

Familiarize yourself with the INDoS aims and objectives and with the different Working Groups, and decide which group or groups you would like to join. You will select them in your application. You will have to select at least one working group to become a member.

Membership is managed through COST’s e-COST platform. This can be a bit confusing, so please follow the next steps carefully.

  1. Go to the e-COST platform ↗, select Create an account, and activate the account from the email e-COST sends you. If you already have an e-COST account, sign in and go to the next step.
  2. After signing up for E-COST, do not search for INDoS in the e-COST administrative page that you still might have open. Instead, go to the publicly visible INDoS overview page and navigate to the “Working Groups and Membership” tab. If you scroll a bit down, you will see the text “Express your interest to join any of the working groups by applying below” and the Apply button which you have to click.
  3. After clicking the Apply button, you will be brought to the application form where you can specyfy the working group(s) you want to join, provide a short scientific background, give a short motivation why you want to join and what you expect to contribute to the working group(s). There are also two checkboxes “to be nominated as MC Member” and “available to substitute the MC Member”; unless you know what you are doing you should leave those unchecked.

After submitting your application, it will be reviewed by the core team and you will most likely soon receive a welcome and be added to the appropriate mailing lists. You will be kept informed about meetings and events through those mailing lists. To catch up with previous work and to read and contribute to shared documents, please sign up to our Academic Cloud with the same email addres that you used for the e-COST registration. See the tools page for more details.
