Geosupen now on Teams

In these viral times everything has to adapt to home office and rules of social distancing. Most of GFI has moved to Microsoft Teams. It’s about time Geosupen joins in to be the social arena it should be. Join the team using a team code that we will post to the Geofysisk Institutt team.  We hope that many will use Geosupen to have some social interaction between students and colleagues at GFI. Challenge someone to an online/mobile game (there’s a list of suggestions in the team), ask someone for a virtual coffee, and stay updated on activities that are still on-going.  Please come with suggestions if you have good ideas for activities and happenings that should be included. We will create more channels as we go along.  Join Geosupen on Teams and stay tuned for more activities in the coming time!
