Working Groups combine online collaboration with in-person meetings. Most groups begin with one or more online meetings, followed by in-person sessions hosted at FISC.
The first in-person meeting is particularly important – it is where the group develops a more detailed operational research plan, defines tasks, and agrees on the overall direction of the work.
Between meetings, participants continue working collaboratively through regular communication and coordination.
