5. ELiTES – ET-LCGT Interferometric Telescope Exchange of Scientists WP2: mirror thermal noise and cryogenics Groups /members involved (from proposal) U Tokyo: T. Suzuki, N. Kimura, K. Yamamoto, Y. Sakakibara, C. Dan U Roma: P. Puppo, F. Ricci U Jena: P. Seidel, R. Nawrodt, G. Hofmann, J. Komma U Glasgow: S. Rowan, P. Murray, (S. Reid), NN PhD student U Sannio: I. Pinto, V. Galdi, V. Pierro, R. de Salvo, M. Principe UWS: S. Reid

6. ELiTES – ET-LCGT Interferometric Telescope Exchange of Scientists WP2: mirror thermal noise and cryogenics Proposed exchange within the first year U Jena:1 month ER U Sannio:1 month ER U Roma: several short visits (I assume WP1 – check with Ettore) U Tokyo:6 months ESR to U Glasgow -> discussion at GWADW 2012 as nearly all ppl involved are present, defining content of work (samples, measurements, document, inner-European travel if needed)

7. ELiTES – ET-LCGT Interferometric Telescope Exchange of Scientists WP2: mirror thermal noise and cryogenics Upcoming events / tools aim: monthly telecon to give update from each group (proposal to find 1 common date for all WPs and rotate?) We should use the GWADW 2012 for f2f meeting(s) as mentioned in proposal! General Meeting in October. (Michele) tools for exchange: mailing lists (PLEASE REGISTER!, keep traffic to important content!) codified documents at ET page work area at ET page
