Register in IREX’s system to join our collaborative workspace

IREX’s partners, consultants, and program participants can register in IREX’s system to collaborate with employees in Microsoft SharePoint and Groups.

IREX’s IT team can create guest accounts for people who are not IREX employees. Each guest account is tied to a personal e-mail address.

To register for an account

  1. If you have asked for a guest account or an IREX employee has requested one for you, you will receive an e-mail from invites@microsoft.com with the subject line International Research and Exchanges Board invited you to access applications within their organization.

  3. In the e-mail, click Accept Invitation.
     
  4. If this is the first time that you have registered for a Microsoft service, you might be asked to create a password. Otherwise, proceed to step 5.
