7th EURATOM Framework Programme (2007 to 2011)
Activities in the area of fusion energy within
the FP7 are carried out through several
different contracts/agreements, among them
Contracts of Association Bilateral contracts
between research organizations or bodies in all
the Member States and the Community.
European Fusion Development Agreement between
all the Associates (signatories of a contract of
association) to fully exploit the JET Facilities
and possibly other fusion devices and coordinate
the research activities.
Other multi-lateral agreements, such as the
Mobility Agreement, that promote the
collaboration and mobility of researchers between
the different research organization and
facilities.

and full scientific exploitation of new systems
and issues that could impact on the design of
ITER components 2. Qualification of integrated
operating scenarios for ITER and 3. Physics

Task Force Structure for 2011 (Romanelli)
JET TF structure in 2011 will need to be
revised EFDA SC has approved the formation of
two Task Forces for exploiting JET during Restart
with plasma, High Level Commissioning and
Experimental Campaigns in 2011 Task Force E1
will be responsible for expanding operational
domain it will have a Task Force Leader and two
Deputies with specific responsibilities. Task
Force E2 will be responsible for exploring
operational domain it will have a Task Force
Leader and two Deputies with specific
responsibilities. It may be appropriate to
establish additional Task Forces to address
specific scientific issues at a later stage.
36
JET Beyond EP2 (Romanelli)

• Early 2008 the EFDA SC recognises the scientific
  need for full exploitation of the EP2
  enhancements and tritium operation and requests
  the EFDA Associate Leader for JET to prepare, and
  present to the EFDA Steering Committee a plan for
  the full exploitation of the EP2 enhancements and
  tritium operation. It requests the Commission to
  investigate the possibility of making adequate
  resources available within the fusion programme
  budget.
• Facility Review Panel
• JET needs to operate until 2015/15 at least and
  would benefit from an early installation of an
  ECRH system. Depending on the JT60-SA schedule
  JET operation for a few further years should be
  foreseen.
• Launch of 2 feasibility studies approved by the
  EFDA SC
• ECRH
• Resonant Magnetic Perturbation coils
• New divertor, LH PAM, 2nd ICRH antenna and beam
  reorientation will be evaluated internally.

Some questions
Is there a need for a common repository of all
the information (Contracts, Agreements, ISAFs and
so on) for the VR Association ?
who can access to what ?
set up a web page ? On which server ? Resources ?
who should be responsible for this ?
How to report the scientific output of the
participation to JET Campaigns ?
JET Pinboard only ?
List of presentation given at the different TF
Meetings ?
Number of sessions as SC/SL/DC ?
