Flow Battery Commons
Committees

The Flow Battery Commons is organised by its members. Three committees take care of the community itself, the shared data infrastructure and the joint research activities. Each committee is described below; the written minutes of their meetings are collected in the section underneath.

Committees

Three committees.

The committees coordinate the activities of the community: the Discord server and the regular meetings, the GitHub organisation and its data infrastructure, and the joint research activities such as the international round-robin studies. Committee members are volunteers from the community, meetings are open to members, and outcomes are recorded in written minutes.

How to join this online community

Join the commons

The community uses two online platforms: A Discord server is where the commons talks (e.g. questions, building cooperations, event planning, regular meetings). A GitHub organisation is where our data and resources live.

Feel free to join either or both.
