3. ESP Working Groups, National Networks & Regional Chapters
Several changes in the division and lead teams of the WGs, NNs and RCs are currently being discussed. Requirements for the members of these units may undergo some adjustments, due to additional benefits that are in development. The updated benefits and requirements for being a WG/NN/RC member will be implemented together with the launching of the new ESP website.
In the meantime it would be good if Team Leads make use of the Regional Conferences to get together, strengthen networks, write joint publications and proposals and any other activity beneficial to them, and ESP at large.
Get involved!
Feel free to join any of these working groups and/or National Networks by sending an email to the current Lead Team and/or to the ESP Secretariat.
