Modus operandi for participation in ECPGR-funded meetings
Each country is assigned a quota of funded participants to attend Working Group meetings organized by ECPGR during the entire Phase. When the country has exhausted its quota, it may send self-funded participants to the meetings of interest. The country quotas are based on the following considerations:
- the level of research and development activities in the area of genetic resources conservation and utilization in the countries;
- the past attendance and contribution of the countries in the Working Group meetings.
In addition to the quota assigned to each country, a quota is assigned to the Working Group Chairs to allow each Working Group to maximally benefit from the available expertise on that crop in the European region. The Working Group Chair quota is at Chair's discretion on the understanding that the Chair can invite one additional expert from one of the ECPGR member countries for each Working Group meeting.
Should it so wish, in consultation with the Secretariat, a country can transfer part of its quota for use by other countries or by other Working Groups.
