Changeover in the Directorship of ECT
November 01, 2008
Jean-Paul Blaizot
A. R.
This gives me the opportunity to thank J-P for
his great effort in his four years of being
Director to bring ECT forward as a strong and
professionally operating institution within the
Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) and also as an
institution of an internationally recognized
scientific standing. Thereby he served the
community in a exemplary way.

Budget and Status of Funding
Proposal for the scientific activities of ECT
and the related financial budget for 2009 2013
submitted November 20, 2008 to the FBK
Preamble Upon the request of November 04, 2008
from the President Andrea Zanotti of the
Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) the following
document summarizes the proposed scientific
activities of the ECT and the related financial
budget for 2009 2013 under the Accordo di
Programma. This proposal contains projects which
are intended to be co-financed by the Autonomous
Province of Trento within the L.p August 2nd ,
2005, n.14 and outside sources specified below.
The budget of 2009 is presented in detail and a
projection for the years 2010 2013 is given.
After 15 years of existence of the ECT, the
present document illustrates both the scientific
benchmarks of the Centre and the related benefits
for the Province
17
Budget and Status of Funding

• PAT / FBK Accordo di Programma is expected to
  be put in effect soon until then we have to work
  within 80 of the budget of 2008
• EURONS Final report has been submitted to the EC
  in Brussels.
• (responsible for it is still Renzo
  Leonardi)
• FP7 The official fixed start date of the
  Hadron Physics 2 project has been 01/01/2009.
  ECT will be able to use
  450.000 for transnational access, i.e. any
  workshop, within the next two and a half
  years.

REGULATIONS - STATUTES EUROPEAN CENTRE FOR
THEORETICAL STUDIES IN NUCLEAR PHYSICS AND
RELATED AREAS - (ECT) FOUNDATION BRUNO
KESSLER PREAMBLE
The European Centre for Theoretical Studies in
Nuclear Physics and Related Areas (ECT) was
established by the Board of Directors of the
Foundation Bruno Kessler (FBK) on October 17th,
2008 as a natural continuation of the initiative
undertaken by ITC on December 17th, 1992 and
established on January 1st, 1993. This document
updates the statutes of ECT in order to make
them compatible with the rules of the FBK which
administer the Center. By appointment of the
European Science Foundation, ECT is an
institutional member of ESF-Expert Committee
NuPECC (Nuclear Physics European Collaboration
Committee). Its membership in, and representation
on, NuPECC is governed by the Terms of Reference
of NuPECC. The Centre carries out autonomously
the activities scheduled in the multi annual
programme enacted by the FBK Board of Directors
(CdA), making efforts to act coherently in the
framework of the general goals of the Foundation.

Final Remark
With the new Regulations Statutes the ECT is
now fully integrated and operational within the
FBK. At the same time, however, a 15 year period
of Renzo Leonardi as Scientific Secretary has
come to an end. We all know that ECT owes much
of its existence to Renzos early vision,
political skillfulness, persistence and
tremendous personal commitment. The ECT, the
Board and the whole community are thus very
grateful to him for what he has achieved during
his 15 years in office. We all wish him the
best and every possible success in his new effort
to get the first proton therapy facility in the
PAT built and into operation and at the same time
look forward to a good and lasting relation with
the ECT.
