Join Our Organization

endCoronavirus.org is built and maintained by the New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI) and collaborators.

Our goal

  • Stop the spread of COVID-19

  • Consult governments, institutions and individuals

  • Provide useful data and guidelines

  • Crush the Curve

Our team consists of over 4,000 volunteers and includes scientists, engineers, medical doctors and countless motivated individuals ready to take action. Everyone can help.

Our work concentrates on five areas

Outreach

We make contact and communicate with individuals, communities, and governments, providing guidelines for action.

Communications

We provide information throughout the world through newsletters and various social media platforms.

Tech

We build websites and apps to help track and prevent the spread of COVID-19.

 

Response

We engage in medical response innovation and facilitate deliveries of medical equipment and PPE to those in need.

Scanning and Analytics

We discover, analyse, and present data related to COVID-19.

 

The way we work: Slack

We use Slack as a communication tool to help organize our projects.

Once you join our Slack workspace, you’ll be presented with introductory material which helps you get started by familiarizing you with our ongoing projects. Each project will have a specific channel which you can join, and each channel will have a pinned introductory document located near the top of the screen which will get you up to speed. If you have a specific project you would like to work on, see if there is already a group working on this project. If it is not already being done, you can start a channel and build a team to help! Having a collection of over 4,000 individuals which includes experts in many fields, the potential for impact is huge.

To help navigate the Slack workspace, our channels have been categorized using the prefixes listed below. In Slack, you can find these by searching “#prefix” with the prefix which you are interested in. To view all channels, you can click on “Channels” on the left-hand side of the screen.

If you see a particular channel that seems the best fit for you, please feel free to reach out and offer your support. The more you share in how you can contribute, the better we can get you on a task. Each team leader will look to point you in the right direction based on this.

This is a self-organizing team! Have a look around and get a feel for what skills you bring to the table and where people need help. If you are keen on starting your own project you can do that too!
