[workspaz], the scientific collaboration and communication platform has been renamed due to compliance reasons. Its new name is: «collective». 
The platform can now be reached under https://collective.mpdl.mpg.de. [workspaz] URLs will be redirected to the new domain.
«collective» is a customized version of the open source software Open Atrium.

The platform offers the following functionalities:

  • Spaces for institutes, departments, project teams etc.
  • Multiple differentiation possibilities of permission setting (public and private groups or spaces which can be structured hierarchically)
  • Within your workspace you can have calendars, document sections (e. g. to make a wiki) and areas to upload and structure your files/data
  • You can also start discussions and do simple project management by using the task lists tool within your workspace

The «collective» team will gladly establish a working area for you within the «collective» platform.

  2. Individualise your space
  3. Invite your team
