Three meetings were organised by the consortium:

The kick-off meeting was held at CropDesign, in Ghent November 2001

with the participation of L. Bogre (P1), C Koncz (P2a), K. Palme (P2b), V. Mironov (P3), C. Reuzeau (P3), A. Sanz (P3), W. van Camp (P3), J. Murray (P4), D. Inze (P5), Bemmster G. (P5), M Vuylsteke (P5), M. Rossignol (P6), P. Nacry (P6), P Doumas (P6).
All partners presented onrunning works within their labs and specific aims within the project.

A small progress meeting was organised during the International Arabidopsis meeting in Seville (June 28-July 2, 2002)

Participants: L. Bogre (P1) C Koncz (P2a), K. Palme (P2b), V. Mironov (P3), C. Reuzeau (P3), A. Sanz (P3), J. Murray (P4), Bemmster G. (P5) M. Rossignol (P6). Trebar (P2b), Papanov (P2b), Wolf (P2b). Meskiene (P1sub), Szabados (P2asub).

This meeting concentrated on the standardisation of Arabidopsis experimental conditions, collection of ecotypes and ploidy variants (which have been done mostly by P5) and we thoroughly discussed through the change in the microarray work.

The first year progress meeting was held at November 18 - 19, 2002 in Montpelier

Participants: L. Bogre (P1), R. Henriques (P1), I Meskiene (sub P1), C Koncz (P2a), K. Palme (P2b), V. Mironov (P5), C. Reuzeau (P3), J. Murray (P4), Dewitte (P4), S. Plansche (P4), Bemmster G. (P5), M Vuylsteke (P5), M. Rossignol (P6), P. Nacry (P6), P Doumas (P6), W. Schimdt (P8), Stelling, Dieter (P7), Joerg, Schondelmaier (P7).

Beside having an overview how the partners progress with the work, and how the individual WPs are coming together, we again thouroghly discussed the microarray WP in GVE and how to integrate proteomics and microarray data.
