At the LifeWatch General Assembly held on April 28 in Aarhus (Demark), a number of important decisions for the future of the project were taken:

• The General Assembly agrees with the outline of the LifeWatch construction plan, the cost structure and the target time line.
• The General Assembly confirms the choice for the Community legal framework for a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) as the basis for the planned legal establishment of the research infrastructure.
• The General Assembly proposes the countries willing to be involved in the process towards entering the construction and subsequent operations of the LifeWatch research infrastructure to sign a Memorandum of Intent with the objective to establish a Stakeholders Board to guide the transition from the Preparatory Project to the Construction Phase.
