## Working Groups

Open Modeling Foundation Working Groups coordinate key activities, enabling a diverse spectrum of modeling scientists to participate directly in OMF activities and self-governance and ensuring that it can fulfill its vision, mission, and goals. Three Working Groups are initially established and described below; additional Working Groups may be established with approval of the Members Council.

Five Working Groups are established and described below; additional Working Groups may be established with approval of the Members Council.

Any modeling scientist can join a Working Group. Working Groups self organize, with support from the Executive Committee, and nominate a Working Group Chair for approval by the Members Council. Working Group Chairs serve for a three-year, renewable term.

Working Groups meet as needed at least once per year either virtually or in person.

CYWG staff assist the EOWG in developing online training modules and making them available on the OMF Science Gateway.

### Early Career Scholars Working Group

The Early Career Scholars Working Group (ECSWG) helps the Open Modeling Foundation to support student and early career development. The ECSWG is
open to any student enrolled in an institution of higher learning (e.g., college or university) or other early career scholar.
The ECSWG provides input to other Working Groups and the Executive Committee. The ECS can organize student-focused programs and
events, assisted by the Administrative Coordinator and EOWG.


### Additional Working Groups

Other Working Groups may be proposed by the Executive Committee to oversee and coordinate additional OMF activities. The establishment of any new working groups must be approved by the Members Council.
