CARESG, 13 Sep 2006V. Palladino Report on BENE Activities nice words …. but, Єuros from labs, agencies and EC? creation of a continental collaboration with a leading CERN kernel with regular and adequate participation & funding from each national lab and national agency richness of options makes consensus more laborious NB legitimate different scientific interests do exist need an unprecedented level of coherence & good will otherwise ….. LHC upgrade, ILC, CLIC ….
