Goal 1 acquire a mutual and better understanding of the Funding systems of nuclear physics infrastructures and associated equipments in Europe that is needed for future collaborations

The communication between administrators in Europe needs to be intensified in order to effectively develop infrastructures of a fully European scope

Goal 2 Propose a set of joint trans-national activitiesa set of joint trans-national activities (based on the science priorities set in the Long range Plan of NuPECC)that can be launched by Funding Agencies thanks to the NuPNET coordination

Goal 3 Launch one or more of those proposed joint trans-national activities in the field of nuclear physics Infrastructures

Goal 4 Provide Europe with a sustainable scheme beyond the project duration

On the Agenda

Discussion on the preparation of the web-page Communication and electronic tools (by Ioan Ursu IFIN-HH)

Discussion on the preparation of the questonnaire necessary for the exchange of information

To be noted Definition and launching of joint transnational activities depends on the results of exchange of information

The Work plan of NuPNET follows the general ERANET scheme and applies a three step approach

It involves a grant of euro 13 millionDorotheacutee Peitzmann is the co-ordination manager of NuPNET



WP1 Management and transfer activity (+ communication and support tools)

QuestionnaireQuestionnaire

bull It will take into account the workquestionnaires done by other ERA-NETs such as Astronet and Aspera to elaborate a proper one for NuPNET Some members of NuPNET also adhere to or are in touch with these ERA-NETs which will prove helpful

bull CC members + IFIN-HH + GSRT to test it in June 2008

The assembly (Governing Council) decided that the NuPNET management should propose a draft Consortium Agreement in April 2008

The EC confirmed to send a draft Grant Agreement to CNRSIN2P3

June 2008 - Signature of the Grant Agreement by CNRSIN2P3

- Signature of the Grant Agreement by CNRSIN2P3- Transmission of the signed originals to the EC and a copy to the beneficiaries- Signature of the Grant Agreement by the EC- Transmission of the Form A by CNRSIN2P3 to the 17 beneficiaries- Form A signed by each NuPNET beneficiary to be received by CNRSIN2P3 JulyAugust 2008 The pre-financing is expected to be perceived at CNRSIN2P3

August 2008 Planned distribution of the pre-financing amount by CNRSIN2P3 to those NuPNET beneficiaries who have signed and returned the Form A

DATES of Next meetings

The next meeting of the CC will take place in Germany on October 31st 2008

Kick-Off Meeting (Paris) march 27-2008

Maria Douka (MD) highlighted the role of the EC as a facilitator to develop a European vision of research infrastructure rather than being the main stakeholder

ERA-NETs is a political wish of funding agenciesof the countries involved to coordinate their actions and policies on specific topics

Research Infrastructures are part of the Capacities programme under the FP7 They have a budget of euro 1715 million whereas the total FP7 budget is about euro 50521 million The budget for RI is decided by the Council of Ministers
