Core group meeting
- Coordinators: Erich Gnaiger, Chair, Elisa Calabria, Vice chair
- Prepare agenda for MC Meeting Barcelona
- Goals for Grant Period 2017-05-01 to 2018-04-30 to be identified, as outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding
- Key tasks per Working Group
- Networking activities
- Next Management Committee Meeting in a Inclusiveness Target Country
- Implementation strategy: plan towards inclusiveness (geographical coverage, early career investigator involvement and gender balance) that is revised and updated at every MC meeting and develop a strategy to attract researchers and stakeholders. COST provides the following examples:
- Leadership roles
- Organising and locating MITOEAGLE meetings and events in Inclusiveness Target Countries
- Benefiting from COST networking tools
- Promoting STSMs
- Action Think Tank for Early Career Investigators
- Aiming to support the involvement of researchers from Near Neighbour (NNC) and International Partner Countries (IPC) in MITOEAGLE on the basis of mutual benefit. COST provides the following examples:
- Approved IPC and NNC Institutions can host Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSM).
- Researchers from approved NNC institutions can apply for STSMs and and be supported when attending Training Schools.
- Researchers from approved IPC and NNC institutions can be supported as trainers in Training Schools.
- SME and industry participation. COST provides the following examples:
- Sessions and round table discussions dedicated to industrial participation at MITOEAGLE events
- STSMs with industry acting as home/host institution
- Dissemination plan
