This COST Action has three WGs coordinated by two leaders, who keep track of the WG’s mission, projects, plans of action, and outcomes. WGs are comprised of several teams gathering researchers from different countries (minimum of four) and backgrounds. Teams implement specific projects aligned with the WGs scientific, technological, and societal objectives.

The Action has also a transversal team, the Societal Team, which is comprised by one of the WGs leaders, one representative from each WG, the Editorial Coordinator, the Communication Manager, the Stakeholders Manager, and the ESR Manager. This team is particularly concerned with expressing the societal implications and policy recommendations of the works conducted in the WGs.
