Working & Study Groups
A Working Group (WG) is responsible for a precise programme and the evaluation of the results obtained. Its aim is to speed up the acquisition of results through co-ordinated international activities and to avoid duplication of research effort.
The Working Groups aim is to:
- Foster collaboration between scientists interested in problems common to several members of WPRS,
- Share experience and eventually facilities, with special emphasis on joint or complementary programmes of work,
- Increase the general knowledge in the area of interest of its members and offer this knowledge to the whole scientific community (the Bulletins serve as a vehicle).
Working Groups are led by a convenor and are supported through funds from the membership fees. Participation in a particular Working Group is open to anyone actively concerned with the Group’s specific topic.
Study Groups (SG) are Working Groups which are under construction.
