SCAR EXCOM 2017 Paper 5: Report of Life Sciences Group Activities and Plans

Life Sciences Group, 2016-2017 Report

Report Author(s): Y. Ropert-Coudert (CO), M. Shepanek (Deputy-CO), I. McDonald (Secretary)

Summary of activities from 2016-17 and any other important issues or factors:

The major highlight of Life Science activities is yet to come for 2017 as the SCAR Biology Symposium will be held the week following the deadline for submitting this report, i.e. the 10-14 July 2017 in Leuven, Belgium. Life Sciences has helped in preparing this major event. In addition to this, Life Sciences, and its related AGs and EGs, has been active in producing reports to SCATS, attending meetings such as the Monaco Assessment phase II or in disseminating information to its community and beyond, as the LS and related AGs and EGs’ reports will demonstrate.
