Ile-de-France Planets is on both Mastodon and Bluesky! We post about planetary science events occurring in Ile-de-France, scientific discoveries made by researchers in our laboratories, and funding opportunities in the greater Paris area.

Mattermost

If you are part of a community that is using Slack, Discord or Teams, please consider migrating your team to the SolarSystem.forum Mattermost server. Mattermost is a free and open source collaboration platform that is nearly identical to Slack. It doesn’t suffer from any of the restrictions in the free Slack plan, and it is hosted on servers run by the Planetary Research Cooperative. They will create teams for any early-career planetary science groups, any planetary science community-led projects, and any planetary science international projects. If this interests you, please contact the Planetary Research Cooperative tech team by email.
