IRIS-HEP Fellows Slack Channel

Please also join the IRIS-HEP Fellows Slack Channel to interact with other Fellows and Mentors.

We will also use this channel to communicate news items and announce Fellows-relevant events this summer.

Once you accept the invite you can join the fellows channel in Slack by searching for “#fellows”, selecting the channel and clicking “Join Channel” or by typing:

in the message field and sending the message.

In general with communications on the Slack channel, we expect our members to:

  • Be welcoming and support people of all backgrounds and identities
  • Be considerate in words and actions
  • Be respectful

More specifically, the values outlined in our Code of Conduct applies equally to all community members in all institute situations online and offline. As IRIS-HEP members, we expect fellows to be stewards of these values as well.
