Joint ENSA/ISMS-E/NMI3 General Assembly meeting
14:00-14:05 Welcome click on the picture to enlarge it.		Peter Allenspach/ Robert McGreevy
14.05-14.15	ISMS- EUROPE Bob Cywinski The International Society of µSR Spectroscopy (ISMS)-Europe is now the representative organization for European muon users. Representatives from nine European countries met on 7th October, 2004 to approve the status of the new body, with Robert Cywinski (University of Leeds, UK) as the ISMS-E chair.	Visit the ISMS-Europe pages on the European Neutron - Muon portal.
14.15-14.25	ENSA Fabrizio Barocchi Announcement of new chairman for ENSA. At the ENSA meeting hold on 7th October ENSA members resolved to appoint Hannu Mutka as new Chariman. Peter Allenspach (Swiss delegate - SNG) has been named Vice chairman and Kell Mortensen (Danish delegate - DANSSK) secretary.	More information on the ENSA Pages: Summary of the ENSA meeting Who is Hannu Mutka? Who is Peter Allenspach? Who is Kell Mortensen?
14:25-14:40	FP6 Robert McGreevy (PDF, 2.3MB) Construction and Design Study proposals There are no approved design studies relevant to neutrons and muons (however, there were three proposals, NEXT, UCONSAR, ADVICES). One major construction project has been approved: ISIS TS2. This will receive 11M€ and involves partners from UK, Italy, Spain.	Design Studies should continue into FP7 on a similar basis to FP6, but with an increased overall budget.
14:40-15:00	FP7 Elena Righi-Steele (PDF, 7MB) Timetable The Commission is planning a seven-year FP instead of the usual five years. Presentation of FP7 - beginning 2005 Possible EC Communication on a European Policy on RIs - end 2005 Presentation of Specific Programmes - beginning 2006	EU perspective There has been a very strong increase of budget dedicated to RIs throughout the different FPs and growing interrelations Research infrastructures - e-infrastructures. Support for RIs in FP7: - to pursue, improve and reinforce the existing schemes. - development of future research infrastructures of European interest.
15:00-16:00	FP7 Robert McGreevy I3 perspective The market for I3s is now saturated with most applicable scientific disciplines represented. A European Road Map will be used for guidance by the EC to decide future funding and this will also help guide the construction of new infrastructures within the ERA. ESFRI may be responsible for developing the Road Map.

	LLB Announcement (PDF, 1MB) A meeting of an extraordinary steering committee of the Laboratoire Léon Brillouin (LLB) has been held on Monday 4 October 2004. This committee has asked the LLB and ORPHEE reactor management to make the necessary arrangements to resume normal operation conditions for the ORPHEE-LLB reactor – a minimum of two cycles of 90 days per year – as soon as possible in early 2006.
