COST action FA0906

The SenPEP is a partner in this action code-named “UV4Growth”. The action started officially functioning at the kick-off meeting at the COST office in Brussels. The meeting took place on 7 and 8 April 2010, so the action will end on 6 April 2014. The meeting in Brussels was a management committee (MC) meeting. There are two MC members for Finland, Minna Turunen and myself. I am also coordinating Finnish participation in this action. I am coordinator for WG3 and member of TG UV technology. I am also managing most of the e-mail lists. There will be small scientific meetings of WGs and TGs and also funds for visiting other laboratories within the action (mainly for PhD students and postdocs). There will be a larger meeting for the whole action in February 2011. The chair of the action is Marcel Jansen and the vice-chair Åke Strid. They were elected at the kick-off meeting.
