Working Groups

Working Groups are advisory bodies of temporary duration concerned with specific issues and providing advice and guidance on matters to do with science, science management and science policy. Their services may vary from advising the Steering Committee to producing memoranda, reports or best practice tools published under the auspices of ALLEA.

The Steering Committee decides about the establishment of a Working Group. The chair of a Working Group is typically member of a Member Academy, nominated and approved by the Steering Committee. Members of a Working Group are preferably members of a Member Academy, and are appointed jointly by the chair and the President.
