FPA Funding
• Only Direct/Operational cost funding is considered (equipment, travelling, personnel)• Complementary Actions: MoUs, conferences, strategic actions • 5th contributor to the CERN budget (8,5% ~60M€, 2009).
About 59% funding approved w.r.t. requested, 2006-2008 (contributions to experiments M&O are 21% more expensive
- The overhead !!! -)

Scientific Publications
(CERN SCOAP3 Study Group)
N(authors)<10 (mainly theory): Spain 3,2% N(authors)>10 (mainly experiments): Spain 0,9% N(authors)>10 with at least One Spanish author (mainly experiments): Spain 27%
Spain 9th in ranking
Spain needs to:
Increase the Experimental comunity ? and/orConcentrate Experimental activity ?
(period with no HEP runningExperiments at CERN)

European ERANETs (Funding Agencies Networks):
– ASPERA (Astroparticle Physics)– NUPNET (Nuclear Physics)
National NETs (promote discussion, coordination, produce reports..):
– LHC, Experiment & Theory– R&D for future colliders (Detector+Accelerators)– Nuclear Physics– RENATA, Astroparticle Physics– RETENU, Neutrino Physics– Coordination of the Community: workshops, meetings, etc..
(Spanish Winter Meeting, TAE, etc..) organized at Benasque Center Professor Pere Pascual
Spain has recently joined SCOAP3 CERN initiative for an Open Access publication system for HEP
Organizational and Coordination Issues FPA
13 February 2009 J. Fuster 10
Only Conferences with parallel sessions, call for papers, etc.. are funded by Ministery Calls (no schools, no workshopd, etc..)
However some of these events are crucial for our community and have a long tradition and high cientific level, ie, Winter Meeting, TAE, some schools, etc.
The solution is:
– Coordination of the Community: workshops, meetings, etc.. (Spanish Winter Meeting, TAE, etc..) organized at Benasque Center Professor Pere Pascual, Coordiantes by Pr. Manuel Asorey (Univ. Zaragoza)
– Will need a panel for organizational matters and decide the allocation of resources to the events on year basis
– Winter Meeting/TAE being managed by Benasque does not mean that has to necessarily always happen at Benasque (preserving the original objective of moving along Spain)
Winter Meeting, TAE, Workshops, Schools…

The recently created directorate of International Cooperation takes care of the International Agreements.
All our collaboration will need to be known to them and a process to be accepted is being discussed
The payment of quotas (Common funds, operation & maintenance, etc..) wll be centralized in this Directorate.
