The following gives the research plans and collaborators of the Working Groups which are at the centre of the Proposal. The six pages of the outline Proposal and the fifttheen pages of the final Proposal are also available, which includes as Annex C a full list of participants according to country. The final Proposal is also available as a pdf file.
All the research plans represent up-to-the-minute research which could not have been done even a few years ago, such is the speed of innovation in our subject.
The list of participating members at the end of the research statements of the Working Groups are very uneven. Some conform to the original plan of having just a few people to form a committee to gather more participants together, but then other Working Groups spontaneously expanded because people wanted to join or/and could not be omitted. In any case they have two roles. Firstly they will themselves collaborate in first class research. Secondly through workshops and personal availability they will form a core to help others do first class research and form new collaborations, including new entrants to their field of research and those in isolated situations.
