Participants

28 persons from 15 member organisations registered and attended the 5th work meeting.

Wondering if the timing of the work meeting, just after vacation, has impact on the number of attendees, we will investigate the possibility to schedule the coming work meetings in such a way that the summer holiday period is avoided.
