Aims

The working group should work for the developments within the EAACI with special interest for JMAs, and with emphasis on getting JMAs involved in as many aspects as possible in the EAACI. It will provide information to JMAs regarding activities and developments mainly through our JMA Website and e-mails.

The JMA Working group should function as a link between the EAACI -JMAs and the EAACI Executive Committee by bringing to the committee's attention ideas and requests coming from JMAs, as well as informing the JMAs of important decisions taken in the Executive Committee.

The main forum for meeting and discussing among JMAs is the yearly JMA Business Meeting held at the occasion of the EAACI Congress, where the JMA Working group should give a full report of activities.

The JMA Working group is responsible for the organisation of JMA activities at the EAACI yearly congresses, such as the JMA Poster Session and the JMA Scientific Symposium.

The JMA Working group is also responsible for developing contacts with similar groups in other organisations, such as the FIT in the AAAAI.
