Core group meeting
- Coordinators: Erich Gnaiger, Chair, Elisa Calabria, Vice chair
- Prepare agenda for MC Meeting Barcelona
- Goals for Grant Period 2017-05-01 to 2018-04-30 to be identified, as outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding
- Key tasks per Working Group
- Networking activities
- Next Management Committee Meeting in a Inclusiveness Target Country
- Implementation strategy: plan towards inclusiveness (geographical coverage, early career investigator involvement and gender balance) that is revised and updated at every MC meeting and develop a strategy to attract researchers and stakeholders. COST provides the following examples:
- Leadership roles
- Organising and locating MITOEAGLE meetings and events in Inclusiveness Target Countries
- Benefiting from COST networking tools
- Promoting STSMs
- Action Think Tank for Early Career Investigators
- Aiming to support the involvement of researchers from Near Neighbour (NNC) and International Partner Countries (IPC) in MITOEAGLE on the basis of mutual benefit. COST provides the following examples:
- Approved IPC and NNC Institutions can host Short-Term Scientific Missions (STMS).
- Researchers from approved NNC institutions can apply for STSMs and and be supported when attending Training Schools.
- Researchers from approved IPC and NNC institutions can be supported as trainers in Training Schools.
- SME and industry participation. COST provides the following examples:
- Sessions and round table discussions dedicated to industrial participation at MITOEAGLE events
- STSMs with industry acting as home/host institution
- Dissemination plan

- Gnaiger E (AT) Towards a database - why terminology is important.
- Discussion: MitoPedia: Respiratory control ratios - a basis for discussion, concept for joint publication.
- Collect and discuss procedures and experimental protocols for the evaluation of mitochondrial capacities and create a library of protocols: reference subsrate-uncoupler-inhibitor titration protocols (SUIT), standard experimental media, and detailed instructions for OXPHOS analysis - TG1.2 SUIT protocols: nomenclature consistent with concept of database
- Discussion: MitoPedia: SUIT - a basis for discussion.
- TG1.5 Knowledge management system
- Drinnan M (AT, UK) Data management: direction of travel.

- Coordinator: Elisa Calabria
- Develop a working plan for the establishment of consensus protocols, reporting schemes, and the assignment of specific study tasks for mitochondrial respiratory studies in blood cells.
- Calabria E (IT) Introduction.
- Sumbalova Z (AT, SK) Isolation of blood cells for high-resolution respirometry: PBMCs and platelets.
