Outcomes of ICHVSU meeting of 2002
• HVS consortium formally became HVSIA and a simple constitution was adoptedand E. Sadzik (Gautrans) was elected as the first chair of the HVSIA.

Key outcomes• HVSIA formally established• HVSIA web site initiated• Activity Co-ordination Task Group (ACTG) established to finalize and maintain the
HVSIA activity matrix which provides an overview of HVSIA member research activities (past and present) by focus and competency area
