The lists are published in the general Register of EC Expert Groups, and can be seen by looking at the "new groups established" link. The lists so far published are not exhaustive, and details of further Groups are expected to be published over the coming period. The mandate of the Groups is “to give consistent and consolidated advice to the EC services during the preparation of the Horizon 2020 work programmes, regarding the relevant challenge/objective of the Specific Programme”.

To avoid confusion when searching for individual groups, this register also contains the “Expert Groups” for Horizon 2020: the current ‘Shadow’ Programme Committees of national experts, for which no names of members are available online. Members of these groups are nominated by each EU Member State, while for the Advisory Groups a call for expressions of interest was published in January 2013 and was advertised in this newsletter.
