16. R.Zagórski, PWI Annual Meeting, Frascati, October, 2008 16 EFDA new Art. 5: Priority Support New Rules for Priority Support in FP7: cooperative activities (hardware and manpower) Activity eligible for priority support : Well identified actions, including: TF and SEWG leadership (0.5 ppy for TF leader and deputies, 0.25 ppy for SEWG leadership) joint activities: experimentation, modelling, support to the other Associations, etc. selected hardware or manpower costs involving irradiation, work on hot cells, work with tritium and/or beryllium + collaborative actions specific for the TA The proposals are top-down: priorities identified by the TF, approved in the EFDA work programme and then subject to a Call to the Associations Funding under Priority Support is limited and PS is used as a strong incentive for strengthening cooperation

17. R.Zagórski, PWI Annual Meeting, Frascati, October, 2008 17 Reports Baseline Support At the end of each calendar year, during the PWI TF annual meeting, the Task Coordinator shall present a report on all activities (baseline and priority support) under the Task Agreement to the EFDA Leader for his approval. These reports shall integrate the progress made by each Association on each activity, and they shall indicate the level of achievement of the objectives, the situation of the activities, the allocation of resources and recommendations for the next year when applicable. Templates defined Priority Support Achievement of Priority Support deliverables will be reported separately to the EFDA Leader. A final report shall be prepared by the Task Coordinator and submitted to the EFDA Leader. Each participation Association will have to report in one subsection on the degree to which the deliverables of their Task have been achieved, and shall include a breakdown of expenditure. The Task Coordinator will collect the individual subsections into the final report for Priority Support activities addressing the milestones. Written report EU Task Force on Plasma-Wall Interaction
