CERN Training! This is going to happen now in AUTH Very nice organization congratulation to AUTH! NEXT year at LPNHE! What do you Plan to offer? Training in the LAB with FPGA evaluation boards and VIVADO! Very nice workshop Participation with a talk also at the school on trigger!

Very nice session on FTK! Next Friday At AUTH

SLP1 task the good occasion with Thales did not work It looks like Thales is now very little interested We are looking for different contacts Cadence -- IMEC

Recruitments GA approved for the AUTH recruitment Having a a short list of the follwoing three: Dr. Naoki Kimura, Dr. Daniela Paredes and Dr. Antonio Branca Arranging interview with them, with the selection comittee: - Calliope-Louisa Sotiropoulou (gender officer) , Simone Donati (UNIPI), Kostas Kordas Who has to answer for the GA: Mauro Dell Orso UNIPI, Chair Kostas Kordas AUTH, Member Alessandro Iovene CAEN, Member Betty Magnin CERN, Member -- missing answer Giovanni Calderini CNRS, Member Petros Soukoulias PRIELE, Member Simone Donati UNIPI, Member

Recruitments Who has to answer for the EB: Dell Orso UNIPI, Project Coordinator, Kostas Kordas, AUTH, WP 7 Dimitrios Sampsonidis, AUTH, WP 8 Paola Garosi, CAEN, WP 2 Francesco Crescioli, CNRS, WP 6 Andreas Sakellariou, PRIELE, WP 1 Marco Piendibene UNIPI, WP 5 Coordinator, Member Chiara Roda UNIPI, WP 4 Betty Magnin CERN, WP 3

Mid Term Review Has to be done preferably on months 20-22 September-November I propose September Report should be delivered one month before: end of July

Management Meetings (1/2) 1. ANNEX 1: The GA will meet twice per year (M5 & M11 each year) to deal with administrative issues of the project. The EB will meet every 4 months (M3, M7, M11 each year) to assess the progress in research and training aspects. 2. CONSORTIUM AGREEMENT: General Assembly Executive Board At least once a year At least quarterly PROPOSAL June 2013: approve an amendment to CA by EB and GA. - Unless otherwise required by practice, EB will meet 4-monthly

NEXT EB, GA meetings proposal Today-tomorrow meeting is the first GA, EB of the year. Next EB can be in July The last GA, EB can be in September-October depending when we will have the Mid-term review

Summary 2013 The progress report has been submitted in time with a lot of work on my side. Little interaction from the collaboration Deliverables and reports sent in very preliminary form, needed my work to ne finalized. The web site is still almost empty Let s see what will be the EU analysis of the project I hope to have more collaboration in the future, also because the next step (Mid term review) is much more complex.

However the scientific work has advanced significantly We could declare that the milestones were reached We had a lot of contributions to conferences (see next slide) The AMBSLP2 was produced and seems ok The cooling tests seems promising We already have the CAEN PS The integration with the AUX card is ok on our side (much work has to be done on AUX side)
