4. CERN 1st October 2009www.cern.ch/aceole/meetings Organisation of meetings, training courses, conferences and workshops At the 17th International Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics (CHEP), ACEOLE sponsored the Online Track (80 xITN) and funded 13 bursaries for promising young researchers. Number of Researchers from outside the network = 80 (MS 50) Number of Researcher days from outside the network 40*1 +13*5 = 105 (MS 50) At the Topical Conference on Electronics in Particle Physics (TWEPP 2009). 230 (xITN) scientists attended the workshop. During the Plenary three speakers, invited by ACEOLE, gave talks for 45 minutes. ACEOLE also supported a 3 hour tutorial attended by 37 people and funded 5 bursaries for promising young researchers outside the network. Number of Researchers from outside the network = 230 (MS 50) Number of Researcher days from outside the network = ((230*3*3/4)+(3*37)+(5*40))/8 = 104 (MS 50) Results: Conferences and workshops

7. CERN 1st October 2009www.cern.ch/aceole/meetings Two training courses were held by Visiting Scientists. In addition to the Researchers, each course bought in over 50 people outside the network.  ACEOLE Training event: The Where, Why and How of Optical Access by Dr. John Mitchell (University College London). (2 hours)  ACEOLE Training event: High speed design in a chassis environment, by Joel Goergen (2 hours) So we have 4 out of 86 “Training Hours”... But the EC paid for and expects 15 “Visit Months” and so far we have 0! New rules (which may help): Visiting Scientists may come from anywhere but must cover the topics in Annex I.  We have to get more “Visit Months” !! Results: Visiting Scientists
