3.1. Contacts with ISE, EMF	ISE – Initiative for Science in Europe An independent and informal platform for organizations committed to the scientific and technological development of Europe. ISE provides a common forum to advocate independent scientific advice in European policy making and to stimulate the involvement of European Scientist in the design and implementation of European science and technology policy. ENSA is considering the participation in this initiative. EUROPEAN MATERIAL FORUM - EFM A coalition of independent organisations representative of communities in Europe dealing with Materials Science Technology and Innovation. ENSA will joint this initiative as observer.

7. ESS-I, status and news P. Tindemans	ESS- Initiative 8 partners funding the ESS-I Constitutive organizations: • Neutron laboratories (ISIS and PSI decided not to participate) LLB, Jülich and ILL • Science (ENSA) • Sites (Yorkshire, Scandinavia, East Germany) Functions: • Lobby • Science case • Best solution for Europe. Hosted by ILL – office, secretary support, one or two scientific directors. Next meeting 15th March. Sites Status: UK - Summer: UK decision. Facility in the UK or participating in a European facility. Scandinavia – Mr. Larson is being very active talking to people. Support in Sweden among science organizations.Report in July to asses the possibility to establish the ESS in Sweden. “ESS innovation Forum” interest to use or to construct the facility. Industria point fo view. Inviting ENSA to participate in this Forum. Hungary – ministry of industry is taking over the investigation. Facilities= focal points for socio-economic development. European level: FP7: 7 years. Money for European Research Council. EC:Increase financing for new large facilities. ESFRI developing Roadmaps in three areas of science. Schedule: similar to the sites. There will not be a decision before 2008. ENSA Middle of this year: 1. Science case should be clear. Find out the way to produce the case science for specific areas of Science. Energy and neutrons for the future Workshop- Washington 2004, Neutrons at the Frontier of Earth Sciences and Environment - NESE, the next on Biology?. 2. The optimal design of ESS. 3. How to maintain the leadership of Europe for neutrons. ENSA set up a group to follow the development of Roadmaps at ESFRI; Laszlo Czser, Sweden and UK representative)
8. Brief reports from national user organisations and committees	ENSA representatives Austria (Helmut Rauch) 4th European NESY Winterschool on Neutron and Synchrotron Radiation - Sportheim Planneralm, Styria, Austria Winter school 7th March. Belgium (Jean Pierre Gaspar) Neutron research in Belgium is currently improving for three reasons: 1. the emergence of new research groups in the fields of inelastic neutron scattering, SANS and USANS (polymer science and biohysics). 2. the EU Access program to the neighbouring Jülich reactor. 3. the ILL New Partners' action The latter has been positively received by the Belgian scientific community and by the Federal Science Agency (SSTC) as well. The case is now completed and is ready to be sent to the federal Minister in charge of the Scientific Research. Surfing on the wave, we plan to initiate in a near future a national contact group in neutron and synchrotron X-Ray scattering. Czechoslovakia (Paul Mikula) Paying for neutrons. Access programme has developed very successfully. Neutron community is part of the Crystallographic association. 31 March neutron diffraction. September Symposium.
