Additionally the Task Force will help guide the development and testing towards optimal usability and sustainability of ADDIS as a platform for analysis and results communication at key decision points along the medicine lifecyle. Opportunities to include RWE at these decision points will also be discussed by the Task Force. Potential experts will be identified from workshops conducted as part of the original GetReal project and contacted to explain the project, the expected outputs and invite them to participate in the Task Force. Once established, each working group will develop a charter which documents the agreed ways of working, roles and responsibilities, clearly defined scope for the Guidelines/Best Practice Recommendations to be developed and a detailed project plan to facilitate delivery (D1.11)

Deliverable due date: M2, M10 Task 3.2 Organize project meetings (M1-M24) (UMCU, GSK) WP3 will schedule, prepare (draft agendas, arrange logistical details), execute and report (minutes/action lists) general consortium meetings (kick-off/annual meeting) and key governance meetings (D3.5/D3.6). These meetings will be included in the communication and dissemination plan and will be aligned with external communication activities. WP3 will also support organizing the key meetings planned in WP1 and advise on how activities can be optimized to achieve stakeholder communication and engagement objectives (see also T3.3). WP3 will organize additional events as (and if) needed. This could include a closing event modelled on the successful closing event of IMI GetReal in Brussels in November 2016. Such events will involve all members of the GetReal Community, Think Tank and Task Forces as much as possible. WP3 will also look for synergies with other activities.
