SWACCS is organized in a steering committee (SSC), where all university nodes are represented. SWACCS executive group (SWEG) has a coordinating role. Working groups (WG) are gathered around a task or question and is changing depending on the activities. We welcome anyone interested to participate in the WGs, from PhD students to retired researchers.
