sDiv has increased its services for working groups in Corona times. We want to support our projects to be able to conduct successful research. While all sDiv working groups have in common the current lack of opportunities for face-to-face meetings or interactions, each group has its very individual situation. Some have already formed great teams and established great virtual collaborations even before Corona. Some have just started and never met in person before. Our approach is to give each group the individual support they need to keep their project going. Helping to organise and structure virtual meetings is one among different options.

Our best practice doc touches important points of

• Services offered by sDiv
• How to prepare a virtual meeting?
• Aspects of timing
• Meeting structure
• How to design a focused work plan?
