8. CARPE DIEM 5 th meeting Review of external expert reports Technical Steering commettee Daniel Sempere Torres

9. CARPE DIEM 5 th meeting Possible follow-on project Result from the ACTIF meeting RainClouds Depending on the call, there is the possibility to present a STREP (new name for RTD project like CARPE DIEM)

10. CARPE DIEM 5 th meeting Final workshop At the Colchester meeting was agreed to try to put the final workshop within the ERAD 2004 conference (Sept. 6-10 2004) As a second possibility we can insert the final workshop with the EGS Plinius – topical conference on Mediterranean storms. This conference aims to collect in the same place different communities (meteorologists, hydrologists, geologists) to discuss about risk management. Possible dates mid-oct 2004 (17-24). It could be possible that this conference will be organized on a ship within a one week trip (over the Mediterranean Sea). There is a possibility to organize together with the final workshop a “radar school” where the different CARPE DIEM area could present their results (this is also encouraged by the TSC) As a third possibility the final workshop could by organized in Bologna (again there is the possibility to co-organized a radar school), possible period November. No other idea.

11. CARPE DIEM 5 th meeting To be send to the Commission within two months of the end of the 2 nd year. Proposed time schedule each area coordinator should send a short report (1-2 pages), to be inserted in the executive summary, before the end of January. each partner should send the text section and the “cost statement” to the coordinator before the end of January. I will collect all contributions and send a draft of the report by the 10th feb. Time for comments/modifications up to 20th Feb. Send report to the Commission 2 nd Annual Report

12. CARPE DIEM 5 th meeting The Periodic Report provides information on the progress made in the project. SECTION 1, corresponding to the Management Report. SECTION 2 contains an executive summary describing the main results achieved in the project during the reporting project. SECTION 3 is dedicated to the progress made, organised per work package. The individual contributions of each partner should be described. This will give an opportunity to closely follow the progress made in each work package and to inform all the partners of the overall progress of the project. One important aim of FP5 is to put more attention to the exploitation of the results. Therefore, the requirement to prepare annually a draft T.I.P (SECTION 4) will help the project consortium to be oriented to the dissemination and exploitation of the results since the beginning of the project.
