The group was formed during the September 2017 IAUS symposium Unlocking The Mysteries OF The Universe

The aim of this group is to form a network of MASER monitoring telescopes with the following functions:

• Provide calibration and confirmation services to each telescope
• Create catalogues of interesting and monitored sources
• Develop triggering methodologies
• Operate as a 24 hour monitoring service when required
• Inform other facilities of interesting phenomena
• Provide fast follow-up observation services
• Provide multi-wavelength monitoring
