Organization
(DRUGS)- Research Networking Programme is designed as a network of excellent research groups. They collaborate in three different levels defined by a proper terminology:
- The Steering committee (see here)
- The local groups are research groups at their lab or university / inst., (see here)
- The working groups are limited in time and space. They organize and prepare a conference or workshop,
- The teams structure the themes shared by one or more local groups. A team leader will be designed for managing each team.
