ERCIM Working Groups

The purpose of an ERCIM working group is to build and maintain a network of ERCIM researchers in a particular scientific field. The working groups are open to anybody affiliated with an ERCIM institute. Their main activities are the organisation of workshops and the preparation of common project proposals. The workshops organized by the working groups are open to any researcher in the specific scientific field. The working groups are also the focus of internal mobility within ERCIM and of the Fellowship Programme. At the moment, eleven ERCIM Working Groups are active and a number of working groups are currently being formed.
