* KPI targets unmet due to impact of the global pandemic: conferences, meetings and public events cancelled, travel bans, social distancing requirements, lock-downs and laboratory shut-downs and Centre reduced requirement of member outreach hour contributions as a mitigation strategy to look after members’ mental health and wellbeing.

# KPI target unmet due to the resignation of two international AIs, whose research programs no longer align with FLEET.
