Question 2An open point:

How can we best work together?Are we meeting too often?When is the European partners’ attendance required (due to budget considerations)It should be primarily related to involvement within WG2+3 projects, no?

Future meeting content can be determined according to the projects’ progress and availability of projects’ participants

When should the Core meetings be planned for?When we meet in Israel? Europe?
