In case you need to work remotely, there are several tools and services that you can use to
stay connected and continue your work:
An important reference is the [list of important links](https://howto.lcsb.uni.lu/?general:links).
## Communication: Instant messaging
One of the recommended tools to communicate is Slack. Each resarch group can sign up for free and
create their own Slack instance: www.slack.com.
The BioCore team uses the following: https://lcsbbioinfocore.slack.com
## Communication: Video conferencing and virtual meetings
If you want to hold online (virtual) meetings, you can do so by logging in to
Cisco Webex Meetings using your university credentials: https://unilu.webex.com
From there, you can schedule your own meetings and/or join existing sessions.
If you need help setting up and using Cisco Webex, you can follow [these instructions](https://using-webex.uni.lu/).
## Connecting to the university network
If you want to access the university infrastructure, such as the servers or storage, you can do so by connecting
via VPN: http://vpn.uni.lu. All details are given [here](https://howto.lcsb.uni.lu/?access:vpn-cerbere-access).
## Sharing files
When on-the-go or working remotely, ownCloud is the best way to share and work collaboratively on files: https://owncloud.lcsb.uni.lu
More details on how to set up ownCloud are provided [here](https://howto.lcsb.uni.lu/?exchange-channels:owncloud). You can share your files and folders
directly with your collaborators by following [these instructions](https://howto.lcsb.uni.lu/?exchange-channels:owncloud:share-files).
