Standing Working Groups
Standing Working Groups (SWG) are small, thematically organized research groups within ISCHE, designed to coordinate research and discussion on a set topic, guided by specific research goals, for a set period of time. SWGs are automatically granted two parallel session slots on the programme of each ISCHE annual conference. Guidelines for the operations and establishment of Standing Working Groups are located in Section 7 of the ISCHE Byelaws.
