The Technical Coordinator (TC) acts as Digitalization Officer and will make sure that the technical infrastructure of the COST action is always up to date and provides all services a contemporary organization requires. This includes but is not limited to the provision of a Blog/website, a Wiki, a private file server including backup possibilities as well as other services for private use, e.g. a GitLab server for code sharing. Public services will also be maintained by the TC, e.g. the GitHub account for public usage and open-source releases of the project. Any project member can request an own web-space or managed WordPress blog by contacting the TC – subject to approval of the Core Group of the project. Furthermore the domain management including Email addresses for Action members are handled by the TC.

Any member of the Action may contact the TC at any time to request support for any technical products that may improve the Action.
