The SPP 1230 needs a central budget to coordinate the scientific activities of all participants and stimulate their interactions by organizing structured platforms, to link the SPP with related national and international scientific activities and programme projects, to sustain communication with the regulatory community and for exchange with the public. The coordinator of the SPP will establish a secretariat with the following tasks: ¿ Create and update a website with public and internal domains ¿ Coordinate and document regular telephone conferences of the coordination team (consisting of 6 scientists and the coordinator) ¿ Coordinate activities of SPP platforms (vectorology, insertional genomics, modelling) ¿ Administration of central SPP activities and the associated central budget ¿ Communication and correspondence with associated groups that do not receive research support by the SPP ¿ Interact with the DFG and prepare of the second call for proposals ¿ Coordinate and invite guest scientists, depending on nominations of SPP participants ¿ Prepare workshops and courses together with local teams ¿ Prepare an SPP symposium (once per funding period) ¿ Reporting of scientific activities, including preparation of press releases.
