Second MONET Management Board meeting 26th October 2006 Berlin 1. Workload distribution 2. Present status concerning and strategy for filling the vacancies in Aarhus, Berlin, and Lyon 3. Formalities: budget, payments, audit certification, reporting, CDPs, secondments, consortium agreement, acceptance of PhD-students, etc. 4. The first workshop: date and contents 5. Science: what research do we want to do? Presentation of PhD student projects and discussion 6. Other questions

Starting date around 1 Nov. Starts in mid November (don’t forget the declaration of conformity!)

Vacancies in Aarhus, Berlin, and Lyon Restrictions when filling: one more non-European can be accepted (if and only if all vacancies are filled) vacancies should be filled on January, 1st, at latest Vacancies are presently being announced on the following websites: Marie Curie Opportunities Search Tool ERAcareers (the positions were announced on tiptop.iop.org until 15th October) What is the present status?

Acceptance of PhD-students I do not have any ( ) copies of the agreement to accepting Georgios Fradelos from Nottingham, Madrid, and Reading. Career Development Plans Acceptance by the MB still postponed until we have hired all students.

Contract with the Commission and Consortium Agreement You will find the following in the envelopes: Copy of the contract amendment – please forward to the responsible persons Signature pages for the Consortium Agreement Signature pages for the Consortium Agreement addendum

Budget Distributed Pre-financing I still need an estimate for the audit certification costs from most of you... Please make sure you get the amounts right paid out to your fellows: A and C are country-dependent, B depends on the distance between the origin of the researcher and the location of the host, C depends on the family situation (married and/or children) -- Please refer to the EST handbook (you can find it on the networkweb)

Eligible costs Costs might be considered to be eligible by your auditor, but not by the Commission (for example computers) The Commission may carry out additional audits during the entire project period plus up to five years after the end of the project Costs considered ineligible will have to be paid back

Periodical reports Due in January You have to fill in by yourself, send in electronically, print out paper copy and get it signed and sent to Lund: Financial statement (Form C), Excel sheets You have to deliver information to Lund for: Periodical Activity Report, Periodical Management Report, Summary Financial Report, Funding Distribution Report

Reporting guidance Please read this document! Reporting package: contains the excel files to be filled in Practical reporting I

Practical reporting II Register Report Fill in questionnaires

Secondments In the contract we say that the fellows shall spent 25% elsewhere. Scientifically and educationwise to me this seems to much. It might also be a problem budgetwise.’ Already ideas about secondments? (see also scientific discussion later on)
