The Management Committee (MC) is responsible for the planning, implementation and coordination of the work to be carried out during the lifetime of the COST Action within its budget allocations. It is composed of up to 2 experts nominated by each signatory country through the COST National Committee. The scientific work of the Actions is organised through the Working Groups (WGs). The Management Committee meets regularly (at least once a year). Detailed information about the rules governing the work of the management Committee can be in the COST Rules and Procedures, which can be downloaded here as .pdf file.
