The First COROT/MONS/MOST Ground-based Support Workshop aims at initiating contacts between the ground-support teams of three current astereismology space projects, viz. COnvection, ROtation and planetary Transits (COROT), Measuring Oscillations in Nearby Stars (MONS) and Microvariability and Oscillations of STars (MOST). In the context of a small workshop, approximately two dozen participants from several contributing aspects of ground-based support convened and exchanged their views on how and when to organise the most important elements of ground support for the space experiments. The workshop format consisted of a series of invited papers on different aspects of the COROT and MONS/MOST ground-support actions, supplemented by a number of contributed papers and by ample time for discussion. Topics included status reports on the MONS and COROT missions and their respective ground-support programmes, as well as diverse presentations of potential ground-support stations with automatic or semi-automatic telescopes. The development of procedures for automatic extraction of accurate atmospheric parameters from spectral data was discussed, and broad attention was assigned to critical evaluations of stellar-atmosphere models and to libraries of reference spectra (observed or synthetic). The ground support is a commitment over several years with participations that change in time and with members of the COROT/MONS/MOST ground support that are geographically widely spread. Therefore, ground-support workshops will be organised on a regular basis, and these workshops will log their activities in proceedings that will serve as archives for the space-asteroseismology community at large.
