The project [[K-Regio MitoFit |MitoFit]] aims at developing novel laboratory standards and diagnostic monitoring of a mitochondrial fitness score. With an international team of outstanding mitochondrial experts, the '''MitoFit Science Camp''' will provide a unique opportunity to receive first-hand introductions to state-of-the-art diagnostic monitoring of mitochondrial respiratory function combined with hands-on training on HRR (IOC112). Diverse areas are covered such as protective medicine, exercise physiology, mitochondrial pharmacology, aging, and comparative mitochondrial physiology (cell types, tissues, species). The common focus is on methodology, experimental details and quality control. The MitoFit Science Camp is a student- and research-oriented even, and may be considered as a sequence of workshops rather than a conference or school, addressing key topics of the COST Action [[MITOEAGLE]] project. This will provide a key opportunity to prepare the [[COST Action MITOEAGLE |1<sup>st</sup> Management Committee Meeting]].

:::: MITOEAGLE aims at providing the first standardized measures to link mitochondrial and physiome performance (heart rate, BMI, blood pressure, blood chemistry, ''V''<sub>O2max</sub>) to understand the myriad of factors that play a role in mitochondrial physiology. The ambitious objective to optimally harmonize protocols across research groups cannot be achieved through projects with limited numbers of partners. Therefore, the COST framework represents an ideal instrument which allows bringing together many groups and experts in the diverse field of mitochondrial physiology. The aim of this Action is to form a unique well-coordinated network of senior researchers and young investigators, to include well established stakeholders, and to establish a spirit of mentorship and collaboration in contrast to fierce competition which characterized early decades of bioenergetics. The COST Action MITOEAGLE aims at developing a quality management system (QMS), defining common standards for measurements in the field of mitochondrial function.- MITOEAGLE may be seen as too ambitious in the short term, but indispensable at large.

Abstract: 2016 Jul 07-13, Kuehtai, AT. The project MitoFit aims at developing novel laboratory standards and diagnostic monitoring of a mitochondrial fitness score. With an international team of outstanding mitochondrial experts, the MitoFit Science Camp will provide a unique opportunity to receive first-hand introductions to state-of-the-art diagnostic monitoring of mitochondrial respiratory function combined with hands-on training on HRR (IOC112). Diverse areas are covered such as protective medicine, exercise physiology, mitochondrial pharmacology, aging, and comparative mitochondrial physiology (cell types, tissues, species). The common focus is on methodology, experimental details and quality control. The MitoFit Science Camp is a student- and research-oriented even, and may be considered as a sequence of workshops rather than a conference or school, addressing key topics of the COST Action MitoEAGLE project. This will provide a key opportunity to prepare the 1st Management Committee Meeting.

  • Topics are scheduled as a sequence of workshops to merge introductory lectures, panels, and poster flashes.
  • High-resolution respirometry (HRR) will be demonstrated at various levels, integrating an IOC (O2k-Workshop on HRR) into the MitoFit Science Camp, with an emphasis on instrumental quality control - towards MitoFit Proficiency Testing. DatLab 7 will be released and introduced as the software for quality control in HRR.
  • The programme is designed as a global introduction to the perspectives of the COST Action MitoEAGLE.

MitoEAGLE theme
MitoEAGLE aims at providing the first standardized measures to link mitochondrial and physiome performance (heart rate, BMI, blood pressure, blood chemistry, VO2max) to understand the myriad of factors that play a role in mitochondrial physiology. The ambitious objective to optimally harmonize protocols across research groups cannot be achieved through projects with limited numbers of partners. Therefore, the COST framework represents an ideal instrument which allows bringing together many groups and experts in the diverse field of mitochondrial physiology. The aim of this Action is to form a unique well-coordinated network of senior researchers and young investigators, to include well established stakeholders, and to establish a spirit of mentorship and collaboration in contrast to fierce competition which characterized early decades of bioenergetics. The COST Action MitoEAGLE aims at developing a quality management system (QMS), defining common standards for measurements in the field of mitochondrial function.- MitoEAGLE may be seen as too ambitious in the short term, but indispensable at large.
Increase the value and reduce the noise
Enthusiastic and authentic opinion leaders can bring about a change to increase the value and reduce the noise in mitochondrial research specifically, biomedicine at large, and in our society in general. Millions of Euros are wasted on research that is lacking coherent standards. Prespecified and time-stamped protocols are needed, and researchers need to be introduced into adhering to publicly deposited protocols in practice (Begley, Ioannidis 2015). MitoEAGLE recommendations will provide practical guidelines for students, scientists and stakeholders.

MitoEAGLE: towards the 1st MC Meeting

The sessions on the COST Action MitoEAGLE at the MitoFit Science Camp provided an excellent opportunity to discuss some key topics in preparation of the 1st Management Committee (MC) Meeting, including several Management Committee Members who participated in the full MitoFit SC or joined specifically for this discussion.
The Working Groups (WG) were divided into Task Groups. This was particularly important for the large WG1 (Standard operating procedures and user requirement document: Protocols, terminology, documentation). The tentative WG5 (Dissemination and training) could thereby be incorporated into WG1.


Chair, Vicechair and Steering Committee
All suggestions may be turned over at the 1st Management Committee Meeting.
Among the participants, assuming that the Main Proposer (Erich Gnaiger) will be nominated as Chair of the COST Action MitoEAGLE, Elisa Calabria was suggested as the Vicechair to be nominated at the 1st MC Meeting.
Steering Committee
A Steering Committee should be nominated, consisting of the Chair, Vicechair, WG leaders, regional representatives (not MC members) beyond the limits of COST countries, a Financial Officer (Jaap Keijer should be consulted for suggestions), and a General Secretary (Christina Plattner).
The following criteria should be kept in mind for nominations: (1) Expertise; (2) Regions - add non-MC members as links to other continents; (3) Gender balance; (4) participation of Early Career Investigators (researchers in the time span of up to 8 years after the date of obtaining the PhD/doctorate). Among the participants, the following WG leaders were suggested, and a co-leader should be additionally nominated for the 1st MC Meeting:
WG leaders
  • 2016-09-06: Erich is attending the COST Preparatory Workshop for Main Proposers at the COST Office in Brussels. Here are some relevent suggestions from COST:
  • WG leaders have to be MC members, exceptionally MC substitute.
  • Colleagues from Inclusiveness Target Countries (ITC) and Early Career Investigator (ECI) should be well represented as WG leaders, and rotation of some MC members for ECI should be considered by some COST National Coordinators.
  • A rotational system can be implemented and is even encouraged. WG co-leaders may be elected at the MC meeting with the intention to rotate at a given time point between WG leader and WG co-leader. Both should be MC members.
  • Define in advance Short Term Scientific Missions with ITC and ECI in mind, decide on assessment criteria.
