The society shall encourage the formation of subspecialty and special interest Working groups that will, under auspices of the society, organise courses and meetings both at and between the congresses of the society, as well as collaborative inter-institutional projects as considered appropriate by the members.
They will provide programme proposals for the annual congresses. For certain subspecialties, existing societies can be affiliated to the society after approval of the Council, and may then serve as de facto Working groups.
Individual Working groups have discretion as to their own structure. Each member of the Working groups must be a member of the society.  The annual membership fee of the society includes participation in all Working groups.
