Practical project coordination

The assembly adopted a new practical coordination management structure. A group of coordinators for Scientific and Strategic issues was established :

1. To dynamically supervise the priorities of the scientific plan and of other related actions.
   
2. To precise and supervise cooperation with HIRLAM, UM (Unified Model) and COSMO groups, underlining a percentage of transversality of the different actions of the above mentionned plan.
   
3. To foster candidacies, select coordinators and organise their network for a better efficiency of specific transversal actions at a time of diminishing mobility financing around the ALADIN project.
   
4. To follow the first steps of the AROME project and to help harmonizing whenever necessary the ALADIN and AROME plans during the period of AROME feasibility studies.
   
5. To report to the assembly on the progress of the scientific plan, in particular on changes of priorities arising from the above specific items.
   

The working group has a permanent core of six (6) Partners : Belgium (Luc Gérard), Czech Republic (Radmila Brozkova), France (Dominique Giard), Hungary (Andras Horanyi), Morocco (Abdallah Mokssit), Romania (Doina Banciu). But all other Partners are free to join the meeting on a case to case basis.
