EuroCRIS Action Plan –Putting One Step Forward EuroCRIS Work Group (EWG) will serve
as the “executive” arm of the group. A Planning Group will investigate issues of
“identity” and “structure”. Task Groups might be charged, in the
future, with service-oriented responsibilities.
Our ranks should be bolstered.
