WORKING GROUPS

The regular research work of ISRRA is conducted via Working Groups organized by topics, or Focus Areas of Activity and Collaboration. Each working group has (at least) a Lead and a co-Lead and holds regular working group calls with their members throughout the year. All leadership roles have limited terms, elected by agreement of working group members. Working groups are not permanent, with ISRRA favouring a ‘task and finish’ approach. This means that as long as working groups are progressing an idea, process, or science, the group should remain active. Once the task is complete, the working group is disbanded.
