AGEG held its 5th TIGs meetings on the 20th and 21st of November 2008.
The meetings brought together industry, research and government professionals and provided the opportunity for TIG leaders to present updates on their TIG activities and plans for future work. TIG reports presented for each group can be found in their respective TIG pages.
Discussions were held on both days on the topic of how to prioritise the TIG activities with the creation of a technical advisory committee being an outcome of the meetings. The technical advisory committee will review topics covered by the Technical Interest Groups and ensure the right TIGs are in place.
The Agenda of the meetings is available for download.
Attendance lists are available for Day 1 and Day 2.
There were a number of informative presentations on both days which have been made available.
