Working group participation

Rules of engagement

1. The WG's activities focus on voluntary tasks proposed and executed by WG members as the task leaders.
2. Participation in tasks is voluntary and not automatic by virtue of WG membership.
3. Tasks can be supported through meetings, workshops, and publications costs, as well as task-related STSMs; the Core Team (including WG leaders) makes the funding allocation decision.
4. WG-level meetings will be held occasionally and will invite both WG members and other interested researchers. We encourage the formation of new task groups during these meetings rather than via direct emails to WG leaders.

Types of Activities supported by COST

1. Meetings, workshops, conferences
2. Training Schools
3. Short Term Scientific Missions (STSMs)
4. Scientific publication in Open Access
