Structure

Neutrinet is structured in a series of different hubs each one being focused on different part of our activities. The idea is to makes what is happening in Neutrinet more obvious rather than creating rigid entities.

For now, we have 4 hubs but some additional ones might be added in the future (like one for communication).

Coordinator

Each hub have a coordinator, someone responsible for communication between the hub and everything else, introducing new volunteers and making sure that everything is moving smoothly.

The coordinator isn't especially an expert on the subject.

How to participate

If you want to give a hand or get involve into a hub, simply contact its coordinator. You don't have to be 100% sure about what you want to do, the coordinator is here to help and guide you even if you don't know what you can do.

If you are not sure about what you can do or simply what were are doing every hub has a link to its own page with more informations (details activities, todo list, who is involve).

You can also ask on the mailing list, on contact@neutrinet.be, talk with a coordinator of a hub or come at a meeting.
