Core Group

The Action has a Core Group which prepares MC decisions and, where not of strategic importance or legally requiring approval by the MC, may take decisions on behalf of the MC. This allows for rapid assessment of key aspects relating to the work of PESFOR-W; these include choice of meeting venues and dates as well as encouragement and administration of Short Term Scientific Missions.
