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 (STMS).
• 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

• MITOEAGLE flyer
