SCAR EXCOM 2013 IP02: Chief Officers and Cross-Linkages Meeting Report

20 July 2013

Purpose

For the first time the Chief Officers (COs) and Cross-Linkages meetings were held jointly – this is to improve efficiency (normally this involves two separate meetings, which have many identical agenda items) and to reduce cost and travel.

The meeting was jointly chaired by Graham Hosie (SSG-LS Chief Officer) and Mike Sparrow (SCAR Executive Director), and Renuka Badhe (SCAR Executive Officer) was Rapporteur. Other meeting attendees were Bruno Danis, Don Cowan, Steven Chown, Julian Gutt, Terry Wilson, John Storey, Berry Lyons and Maurizio Candidi. Francyne Piera and Rebeca Zapata were early career observers. Guido di Prisco was an observer. Carlota Escutia and Nancy Bertler sent apologies.

The cross-linkage is a forum to discuss ongoing and future interactions between the SSGs, new SRPs etc. The focus this year was on interactions between / with the new SRPs and on any new joint groups formed over the last year.
