Pilot project will allow the RCTS community to use the Colibri service for events with more than 300 participants.
The creation of a pilot project to hold webinars through Colibri was included in the activity plan of the FCT's National Scientific Computing Unit (Unit FCCN). Its implementation was speeded up by the demand from our community for this type of event solution, given the pandemic situation we are experiencing. The project is now taking shape, with the availability of a form where the Science, Technology and Society Network (RCTS) community can request webinars.
O form is available on the Colibri website and implies sharing information about the event, such as the number of participants expected and the date. This is because the webinar service is only available for the RCTS community and for events with more than 300 and up to 1000 participants. On the other hand, only one webinar schedule per day can be approved.
Access to the service is always subject to approval, which will be decided according to the number of available licenses and reservations already made. After approval, users are granted the license for "Pro" and "Webinar" use of the platform on the scheduled date.
