==Goals== The following objectives were listed on the memorandum for the implementation of the network: '''Research Coordination'''<ref name="COST-CA15111-MOU" /> * Develop strategies to collect population-based data on the prevalence of ME/CFS, including standardized procedures with pilot studies in selected locations; develop a geographical mapping of ME/CFS epidemiology involving correlations with other mapped information * Promote co-operation and involvement of research groups with an objective to assess potential biomarkers for ME/CFS capable to evaluation of various infections and immunological disorders as causal factors or comorbidities * Define a standardized clinical diagnosis for ME/CFS for clinicians and researchers that allows the identification of relatively homogenous sets of patients, who can be studied to identify pathogenesis mechanisms, biomarkers and disease process in a stratified way, as well as to be compared with other researched populations * Coordinate efforts to determine the social impact of ME/CFS and to appraise the economic damage from the disease * Establish communication links with industrial organisations, especially small/medium-sized enterprise (SMEs), in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and ICT industries in each participating country to develop collaborative research and innovation proposals '''Capacity Building'''<ref name="COST-CA15111-MOU" /> * Integrate Early Career Investigators (ECI) into network activities, providing optimal diffusion of knowledge and special translational research skills; Demonstrate ME/CFS as a promising field for carrier development in science * Foster knowledge exchange on use of synchronised diagnostic criteria and management of research in ME/CFS, -omics and bioinformatics, translational research in ME/CFS by involving relevant stakeholders, interested researchers, ECIs and clinicians, and organizing working groups, seminars, training schools, and Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) * Provide update in novel ME/CFS knowledge via short training events with an efficient participant involvement
