Organisation

The work of the COST Action TU1403 is headed by a Management Committee (MC), constituted by up to two representatives of the participating countries, which are nominated by the COST National Coordinators.

Currently the Action consists of 44 MC members representing 26 participating COST member countries.

COST Action TU1403 is headed by the Chair and Vice Chair, which were elected by the Management Committee of the Action. The Action Chairs are responsible for the coordination and implementation of the Action.

The Action Chairs, the grant holder, and the Chairs and Vice Chairs of the four Working Groups form the Core Group (CG), which directly reports to the MC. The main task is to monitor the activities of the Action and review the progress of the Working Groups. The CG is responsible for the coordination of the work programme, the coordination of events such as Short Term Scientific Missions (STSM), Training Schools and Conferences.

The Action activities are carried out in four Working Groups. WG 1 through WG3 3 are scientific Working Groups focussing on the coordination of research in the three areas. WG4 is responsible for the organization of all dissemination activities of the Action and the identification and initiation of future research projects.
