Union meetings - Scientific working group meetings


Open to all delegates

The Union currently has 15 working groups that undertake specific projects within fixed time-frames.  Activities undertaken by current groups include developing official policy statements, publishing technical guides and other resources, carrying out research projects, raising global awareness of topical TB and lung health issues and providing a forum for discussion and development.  Self-funded, working groups rely on the support and dynamism of members in order to flourish and achieve their aims.  Non-Union members are welcome to attend the working group meetings and find out more about projects and plans for 2013, as well as how to become involved.
