Staff from the administration and science management departments of the FCMH universities form cross-university task forces to work together on solutions to current challenges and issues and to actively shape the future of the association. The task forces are self-organised.
Do you have any suggestions for topics or a subject area for which you would like to form a new inter-university task force? Then please contact the staff at the FCMH Management Office.
