  38. Proposed participation in Extended T22 • Invite most of the Experts in T22 to continue, but some will be replaced/added. • 1-page updated project plans to be distributed to ExCo to be approved by participating Task countries (and will be distributed to the Experts after the approval). • During the first period of the extended Task new Experts are welcome when: • Respective ExCo member approved participation. • Their project approved by the Experts. • One Expert per institution, exceptions different fields, e.g. fundamental/applied. • New/updated national participation letters (NPL).

  39. T22 Mechanics • Meetings • Independent events, duration 3-4 days. • Proposed interval of 8-9 months (wish from the Experts). • Experts expected to participate. Exception: proxy from his/her institution. • Reports • Published on the web-page for T22 (operated by IFE). • Annual Reports • Require 1-2 page annual reports from each Expert. • Experts submit lists of publications, presentations and patents resulting from the work in T22. • Final Report • At the end of T22: a 5-6 page report from each project.

  40. Starting Date and Duration of extended T22 • Start: 1st December 2009. • Duration: 3 years.
