Working Groups provide recurring, standing opportunities to participate in the VIVO community among people with common interests. Working groups operate under the oversight and direction of the VIVO Steering Group, and are advised by the VIVO Community at large. The working group chairs meeting monthly with the VIVO Steering Group to discuss activities, issues, opportunities, plans, and needs. Anyone, even if you are not a VIVO Member, is invited and encouraged to participate in the VIVO Working Groups.
The VIVO Working Groups:
