Working Groups

EABA has created dedicated Working Groups dealing with important topics for the algae stakeholders at very different levels.  The coordination is performed by EABA members that can be contacted to help and to take part in the implementation of information and position papers. Non-EABA members can be invited and participate and their contributions recognized in any documents produced by the Working Group.
