5. ENSARNuPECC Meeting 7-8 March 2008, Madrid SSC – Scientific Steering Committee Select activities suitable for the next European nuclear structure Integrating Activity proposal in FP7 Shape structure and scope of the class of activities Follow NuPECC recommendation: SSC should use as their criteria for selecting JRAs the following: (1) clear focus on improving performance or adding new capabilities to the TNA facilities (2) benefit a number of the facilities (3) have fairly wide support, capitalising on the expertise of a number of groups. Start: as soon as possible End

8. ENSARNuPECC Meeting 7-8 March 2008, Madrid Meeting in Brussels on 3 rd October: Call on 30 November 2007; submission on 29 February 2008 Call on 30 November 2007; submission on 29 February 2008 Tough competition; budget 3- 10 M; large community 15 M No recommendation on budget sharing TNA, JRA, NA DAF difficult as TNA. Try JRA or NA DAF difficult as TNA. Try JRA or NA Interdisciplinary activities work positively ICT facilities as TNA in ENSA I3 are not advantageous

9. ENSARNuPECC Meeting 7-8 March 2008, Madrid Meeting at Schiphol on 11 th October 2007: Project is 4 years; budget must most probably be less than that of LoIs that emerged on 11 October. Tough competition; budget 3- 10 M; large community 15 M TNA 6-6.5 M 6.27 M JRA ~ 7 M JRA ~ 7 M 5.93 M NA ~ 1-2 M 1.78 M After many meetings (On site or via telephone) 7 TNAs, 9 JRAs, 7 NAs (Total Budget = 13,968 M) # of participants = 40
