The World Heritage centre Assisi provided a most stimulating environment for scientific discussions and intense exchange between Action Chairs. The CM1104 Action Chair reported about a most successful first year of the Action with numerous scientific highlights, nine joint publications from Action members and six Short Term Scientific Missions providing the opportunity for young scientists to work in a partner lab for up to three months. Within the first year, the number of scientists involved in the Action climbed to over 160 and scientists from four new member countries joined the Action.
