Updates
The Science Plan and Implementation Strategy forms the basis on which SOLAS is being built. However it cannot remain current for the 10 years envisaged for SOLAS, in view of the fast moving nature of this area of research. To insure that SOLAS moves with the times, detailed Implementation Plans will be produced for each Focus. These will be regularly updated by the Focus Implementation Groups and are intended to complement the SP&IS.
