GCW_CNT2-PT1 / Doc 1.2.1  (25.07.2014)     _______   ITEM:  1.2 Original:  ENGLISH

 

 

PROVISIONAL AGENDA

(Second draft)

 

The emphasis for this meeting is to have the CryoNet questionnaire available via the portal/website of GCW and to address several aspects of data management. A case study of one CryoNet station (or a few stations) will be performed during the meeting. This requires both the CryoNet and the Portal teams to work together. Compared to earlier GCW meetings, this would be a more technical meeting.
