Working  group  responsibili0es  The  Working  Groups  will  be  responsible  for:      •  Organizing  training  schools,  STSM’s  and  any  more  focused  workshops  that  

might  be  require  during  the  course  of  the  Ac>on.      

•  Popula>ng  the  proposed  research  database,  which  will  include  ongoing  projects  and  project  proposals  plus  current  PhD  students  working  in  the  field  of  the  Ac>on.  

 •  Popula>ng  a  research  funding  opportuni>es  database.      •  Popula>ng  a  Wikipedia  site  with  technical  details  on  the  Ac>on  for  sharing  with  

Ac>on  par>cipants  and  the  broader  community.  

•  Development  of  research  proposals  including  na>onal,  EU,  transna>onal  etc.  

•  Development  of  proposals  for  Marie  Curie  fellowships  and  PhD  studies.  

•  Refer  to  strategy  document  for  detailed  informa>on  on  milestones  and  deliverables  for  each  working  group.
