BESTPRAC-EARMA virtual meeting | January 2022

BESTPRAC-EARMA Virtual Meeting

January 24-25, 2022 | Zoom platform

The third joint BESTPRAC-EARMA meeting was held from January 24-25, 2022 on the Zoom platform.

Many thanks to all our speakers, moderators and meeting coordinators for making this unique event a success!

Background

Although the COST targeted network officially ended in October 2019, the former BESTPRAC Core Group has remained active and working hard to find solutions to keep the network activities alive beyond COST’s financial support.

As one of BESTPRAC’s sustainability initiatives, we have been working on exploring the possibilities of a joint future with EARMA and this event was organised as part of a mutually agreed pilot of one year.

Programme

The event programme was tailored according to the needs of BESTPRAC members and comprised of a combination of plenary sessions and Working group parallel sessions, as we followed the format of former BESTPRAC meetings. The meeting included a variety of speakers, from our valuable BESTPRAC community, external speakers like the European Commission and Sean McCarthy from Hyperion, to researchers and RMAs who we are just starting to collaborate with and who can complement our knowledge base.

Recording

The recordings of the sessions are available on BESTPRAC’s YouTube channel.
