The Core Group of the COST Action BetterCare met on 3 November 2023 to review progress across Working Groups and revisit pending deliverables 📘. WG leaders were reminded of the objectives outlined in the MoU and the importance of keeping work plans aligned with the Action’s timeline to ensure meaningful outputs.
💶 The budget overview highlighted allocations for WG meetings, publications, virtual activities, and dissemination efforts. A dedicated budget was also confirmed for the International FORUM planned for early 2026, envisioned as a multi-stakeholder event that may be hosted in Helsinki 🌍. Thanks to lower-than-estimated actual costs per participant, more in-person interactions will likely be possible.
📢 The meeting concluded with an emphasis on transparency and internal communication. All WG leaders were reminded to upload minutes, plans, and outputs to the shared folders and to use the website section designed for disseminating updates. A two-week deadline was set to ensure all pending documents are made available. With these coordinated efforts, BetterCare continues advancing toward impactful, collaborative outcomes 💡🤝.
