We want to keep the conversation going between members of NUMPeN between our events. To encourage this, we've set up a Slack workspace for the network.
Slack is a messaging platform that's primarily text-based. The NUMPeN workspace is divided into different channels. We've set it up so that conversations about upcoming talks and seminars, specific research topics, mentoring and career advice, and institution-specific chats can have their own spaces, as well as a general chat.
Our hope is that we'll be able to use this to keep up the informal side of the network and start to build more connections between different universities.
We have decided not to list the join link for the workspace publicly, but if you'd like to get involved, you can email clare.wallace@durham.ac.uk for the link.
