Membership Meetings
The aim of the biannual membership meetings is to involve the members actively in the euroCRIS actions and projects. The core of the work is done in the euroCRIS Task Groups. In separate parallel sessions, which are open for all euroCRIS members, the Task Groups discuss their workplans and progress: these are an ideal platform for interaction and exchange of ideas. In plenary sessions the Board and the Task Groups report from their meetings. In this way all participants get a full survey of all ongoing activities and of the action plan for the next six months. The membership meetings are organised each time in another country and have also mutual promotional value, both from euroCRIS and the national and regional CRIS Communities. Mostly half a day is devoted to presentations and discussions of national/regional developments. On the request of the organising euroCRIS member courses will be organised.
The next 2008 membership meeting will be held from 8-11 October in Moscow.
This meeting will be organized and hosted by the Central Economics and Mathematics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (CEMI RAS); co-organizers are the Russian Higher Attestation Commission and Park-Media company. The meeting is funded by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research. Our host will be Prof. Sergey Parinov of CEMI RAS. An interesting social programme is included
