Working Group Opportunities
If you or one of your colleagues are interested in participating in any of the recent working groups listed below, please send your name, email address and a brief current CV to technical@cigre.org.uk indicating which topic that you are interested in. You will be then contacted to advise you if the opportunity is still available, what the commitment involves and how to proceed. We are normally looking for the involvement of one UK subject matter expert and a UK NGN member to serve on a Working Group. The terms of reference for each Working Group can be found by clicking on the TOR link.
