3.5 Post-meeting progress
Considerable progress has occurred since the inaugural June, 2018
meeting, and many follow up conversations have already happened,
including the formation of sub-groups to pursue the roadmaps established
in the Design for Wiser Action session. Additionally, a volunteer
working group with diverse interests was formed and has been meeting
weekly to continue to drive the CMMC agenda forward. Researchers within
the CMMC network have also applied for the 2019 GFI Competitive Research
Grant program, and CMMC representatives attended cultivated meat
conferences in the Netherlands and the US. New collaborations have also
formed as a result of the CMMC June meeting, notably, one between Andrew
Stout (Tufts University) and Patrick Suthers (Pennsylvania State
University).
