Preparing the mid-term review
-
Some concrete details : arrival in Brussels before Sunday 21, 13.00. Meeting
in the IRM on Sunday 21 at 14.00 to "repeat" the mid-term review presentations
with continuation on Monday morning. Of course, all centers will have to
homogenize their presentations "at home" and Brussels preparation should
be mainly dedicated to last "phasing" of all presentations. Powerpoint
will be the main tool and Jure will provide a commun frame with the ALADIN
and ALATNET "logo" used for the websites and the photo of the 2nd ALATNET
Seminar in background.
Important : while preparing your presentations (also for young researchers),
please do keep in mind that it is not a defense of PhD !...

Preparing the 2nd year report
Please consult the full report of the first year on the alatnet website
and do send your updated contribution for the 2nd year :
-
by young researchers (2 or 3 pages without equation but pictures are welcome)
-
by research topics : each topic has a responsible center who should report
for all actions concerning this topic even outside his center
-
list of visits important for ALATNET (not only those that benefit from
ALATNET fundings ... but at least these ones !...)
-
list of joint publications
-
schedule and milestones : a few changes in the work plan are decided with
good reasons (see the new work plan for details)
-
financial report : main figures are ok and will be signed by the official
representatives and bring directly in Brussels at the time of the mid-term
review; a rule for breakdown of the EC money once we will receive the next
payment has been approved taking into account what was planned, what has
been realised and the salaries of the young researchers for the next ALATNET
year.
All these documents should be sent to jean-francois.geleyn@meteo.fr with
copy to dominique.giard@meteo.fr before March 22nd.
Jean-Francois will send you remarks before March 29th and you will
prepare the final version.
Phone conference
A phone conference will be organised by Météo-France (Patricia
will call correspondent of Be, Cz (in Toulouse at that time), Hu, Si on
April 4 at 10.00 to finalize financial report, scientific assessment.
Visits of young researchers during the 3rd ALATNET year
All young researchers are supposed to attend the ALATNET Seminar (excepted
Raluca who will attend another meeting at the same dates). This travel
is payed by the ALATNET center or by home NMS of the young researcher.
It is also proposed that Gianpaolo, Goska, Ilian, Klaus, Cornel, Jozef,
Christopher and Margarida will attend the ALADIN workshop in Croatia, Steluta
and Martin will attend the next EWGLAM meeting and Andre and Raluca will
decide with their supervisors to attend EWGLAM meeting or ALADIN workshop
in Croatia. Young researchers will have to register by themselves to these
meetings.
Preparation of the 3rd ALATNET Seminar
The last details of the organization of the 3rd Seminar on Numerical Methods
are discussed (see pages of the Seminar).
