Meeting objectives
VREs are excellent environments to build distributed teams and to collaborate on research topics, to share data, methods and knowledge virtually. The needs of the communities are met by cutting-edge VREs – virtual meetings and distributed teams face challenges though from lack of in-person interactions to cultural differences to time-zone mismatches to non-native speakers, to name a few. The objective of this meeting is to work towards good practices for communicating and collaborating effectively and efficiently within distributed communities and initiatives.
