The purpose of this list is to avoid duplication of work and to help collaboration within SO&P. If other partners have listed an interest in the same area, it is desirable to work together and collaborate. Multi-institution papers would be proof of the benefits of working in a European project! Please contact the partners listed to initiate collaboration (participants' contact details here).
To add your planned area of model-data work to the list, email Tim Osborn.
