Documentation

Here you can find all of our current user documentation and training materials. The FCL Platform is developed as part of our "Engagement Platform" effort to create a digital space to facilitate, communicate, and collaborate scientific research.

Important: Please note that the Engagement Platform documentation is a work in progress and may contain incomplete or outdated information. Feel free to contact us anytime on Slack if you need help or additional information.

Welcome to the FCL Global Engagement Platform

The Engagement Platform (EP) of the research programme Future Cities Laboratory (FCL) Global is an open-source, digital collaboration space. It is a fundamental tool for FCL Global, enabling collaboration and communication between projects and stakeholders and allowing researchers to present the results and outcomes of their investigations, share knowledge, data and ideas.

The EP connects different areas of research and functionalities with custom designed tools that provide full flexibility in the use and design of content published on the platform.

This documentation has been written for EP users internal to the research programme FCL Global. An extension of this document for external stakeholders will be developed in upcoming months.

This is a work in progress and subject to frequent changes, it may contain incomplete, missing or outdated information.
