Short review of their scope and activities
(as on January 2012, collected by Christian Eugène)
To remember:
- normally each TC organises at least one conference (possibly jointly with other TC’s) between each triennial World Congress
- At a World Congress, there is in principle at least one session for each TC, plus transversal special sessions.
- A TC can nominate one or several member(s) from and at the initiative of each NMO (National Members Organization).
N.B. : The “past events” rubric covers the period between the 2006 and the 2012 World Congresses thus including the 2009 World Congress (“number of contributions” at a conference = total number of oral papers and posters).
