BESTPRAC-EARMA virtual meeting | November 2020

BESTPRAC-EARMA Virtual Meeting

November 25-26, 2020 | Zoom platform

The first joint BESTPRAC-EARMA meeting was held from November 25-26, 2020 on the Zoom platform. The event was sponsored by Nature Research.

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 the first step in a mutually agreed pilot of one year.

Programme

The event programme was tailored according to the needs of BESTPRAC members, as indicated by the answers to the survey sent out in September. The meeting included a variety of speakers, from our valuable BESTPRAC community, external speakers like the European Commission and Sean McCarthy from Hyperion, to RMAs who we are just starting to collaborate with and who can complement our knowledge base.
