TIARA management (cont’d) Description of work The coordinator will be the single point of contact to the EC. The coordinator will provide the annual reports on the activities of the consortium and take care of the financial statements. The Coordinator will provide the Consortium Agreement and obtain the signatures of all participants before the beginning of the project. The coordinator reports to the bodies of the Consortium, in particular to the Governing Council, the representation of the participants. The coordinator maintains direct contact with the national authorities and funding agencies whenever needed to ensure a proper communication and their awareness of the development of the work. The coordinators will establish link with others majors partners in the field of accelerator science in the other regions of the world. The coordinator will be in charge of organizing general events and ensuring that the objectives, the status and achievements of TIARA, and its importance within the European and the world of science and research, is widely disseminated to the relevant communities and as well as the general public in the European Union, and their governments, in as many languages of the EU as is practicable. The work in this WP will be structured in 2 tasks as detailed below Task breakdown Task Num Short Name Description 1.11_CoCCoordination of the Consortium 1.21_DaODissemination and Outreach

Conclusions Accelerator science could be a powerful mean toward scientific, technical and industrial breakthroughs… i.e toward building a society and economy of knowledge With TIARA TIARA is on the way to develop an ambitious structure, which is aiming at strengthening accelerator R&D is a sustainable and comprehensive way The challenge is huge!!! We have now a lot of work ahead of us to make a strong proposal for FP7 Preparatory Phase It will require strong commitment from all of us
