The I3 project EURONS Goals of an I3

• Improvement of existing infrastructures(Joint
  research activities, JRA)
• Increase access to existing infrastructures(Tran
  snational access, TNA)
• Foster networking and integrating
  activities(Networks)

Large-scale facilities, laboratories with
unique instrumentation, collections and
museums, data bases, communication networks, etc.

The Activities The successful concept of EURONS

• rather focussed scientific programme
• continuity with respect to the involved senior
  
• scientists
• 2005 2007 mostly young researchers have
  worked
• about 636 person months ( 53 person years)
  the
• EURONS JRAs
• the TNAs have been a great success of EURONS
• (see also talks of Karin Füssel and
  Christoph
• Scheidenberger)
• very successful scientific programme ?

The I3 project EURONS Final Report

• we have run EURONS very well up to now
• any future activities will be measured by the
• successful finishing of EURONS

• please don't give up the excellent work!!!
• please hang in there in order for the final
  report to be as convincing as the four years work
  has been!

The I3 project EURONS Final Report - Summary

• based on this Town Meeting hand in the final
• scientific reports by December!
• prepare the financial report in time with your
  
• administration
• remember 10 of the EC funding depends
• on the final report
• any future activity will profit from the
• EURONS success
