The Steering Committee

The Steering Committee (SC) consists of the Chair of the EAPCRI (Peter Donnelly), the secretary (Jurgen Loeffler) who is also chair of the laboratory Working Party (LAB WP) and the Treasurer (Rosemary Barnes) who is also Chair of the Clinical Working Party (CLIN WP). In addition we have initiated a Statistical Working Party (STATS WP) which is Chaired by Peter Donnelly and includes the SC and Mario Cruciani (Verona) and Carlo Mengoli (Padua). Its task is to manage the statistical analyses as required by the LAB WP.

The Steering Committee is charged with managing the business of the EAPCRI including funding. It meets 2-3 a year to review the progress of the EAPCRI, plan and coordinate its activities and ensure the minutes and accounts are in order. In addition the SC communicates directly with other academic groups as well as with commercial companies who has similar interests as the EAPCRI. The SC also identifies opportunities for the EAPCRI to present its work at national and international forums.
