11. Scientific planning. It is hoped that memberships of the Working Groups can be established and strategies to achieve their aims can be defined. As this is the only MC meeting in the current grant period, it is very important that we end this session with a reasonably clear idea of our work plan and budget plan for the next grant period. This can be refined if necessary at the CG meeting in January.
