Hi all,

it's incredible how much "momentum" for a weekend.
Count on me by 9th March.

I agree with Patrick that it is very important to have clear our goal and what is the network useful for (if I understood properly Patrick). If not, we can only have a very active mailing list.

About experiences with networks, I can suggest you HAROSA, that was creat at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC):
http://dpcs.uoc.edu/joomla/index.php/about-harosa-kc

They created it from scratch (like ours) but made several steps that I think that were key for its success:

1) First of all, they do an international workshop where every lab involved could present its works. It took three days and was useful to know what were everyone doing and interested in. At the end of this first workshop, they decided the next collaboration steps. The workshop is repeated every year.

2) PhD students visites the labs in the network and, some times, had co-advisors in several labs.

3) They created a peer-reviewed JCR special issue about the topic.

4) They applied for projects in Spain as well in Europe.

The money came from UOC in the first steps. If we have interest in this kind of network, I can ask if these kind of calls are still alive.

Hope this helps!

Toni
