  1. COST_TUD Annual Progress Conference Instructions for the event Vienna, Austria 5-6 July 2011 Dr. Thierry Goger Science Officer

  2. Introduction

  3. Monitoring platform for the implementation of the COST Actions ensuring: the accomplishment of the objectives as set out in their Memoranda of Understanding; a good coordination and exchange of information among the Actions within the Domain TUD or with other COST Domains Stimulating of further cooperation among the COST Actions (e.g. joint activities) Sharing Action management experience among Action Chairs and with the COST Office (e.g. budget issue, participation of experts, STSM management…) Uncovering and Advertising of COST Actions outputs and impacts Presenting specific research initiatives relevant to the Domain (“Info-day”) Workshop – Aim and Objectives

  4. Participants • Chair of the Management Committee of all 20 running Actions in the Domain • Members of the Domain Committee “Transport and Urban Development” (TUD) • Liaison members from other COST Domain Committees • COST Office representatives • European Commission representatives • Invited speaker(s) on selected research initiative(s) • Invited participants (e.g.local administration representatives…)
