Communication at national level
> So far just within immediate group
> Now we intend to embrace a larger audience
of research establishments
Directing national funding
> No specific actions initiated yet.
> This will be addressed at our next meeting in April
> Also to determine a detailed work programme after
identifying collaboration with other national mirror
groups
