   • UK, EU and international funding for research on and in the region;
2. Make recommendations to the Academy for any changes to the structure and pattern of agreements and memoranda of understanding;
3. Consider the purpose, cost and benefits of the Academy’s membership of pan-European organizations such as the European Science Foundation and ALLEA (All European Academies) and make recommendations to the Academy on future involvement;
