4. Status MEXT evaluation
MEXT committee final report expected end March 2016
Science case WG evaluation: done
TDR WG evaluation: not yet finished
New “Human resources” WG to be formed; possibly also Noumura (external company) to visit labs worldwide to find out about situation and commitment
First Noumura report on economical impact of HEP and accelerators delivered to MEXT: prel. conclusions positive
MEXT evaluation serious job, slow but moving forward
MEXT probably not decisive; final decision to prime minister
