The COROT/SWG  is in charge of  preparing and running the optimal scientific interpretation of the COROT observations in terms of the COROT Seismology Core Program.
 

This Core Program (defined in the document DR1:COR-SP-0-83-PROJ, (17/12/97) also made available at http://www.obspm.fr/corot ) is strongly focussed on convection, rotation, core overshooting, or, more generally, transport mecanisms, including transport of chemical species, for stars around the main sequence phase.
 

The COROT/SWG is intended to supply the required expertise and promote the investigation of relevant 'hard points'.  This work is of course at the base of the mission profile determination and of the target selection.
