  1. AIDA Advisory Committee Present in Frascati: Alan Bross FNAL Geoff Hall Imperial College John Harvey CERN Peter Jenni CERN 12 April 2013

  2. Mandate • Our mandate – now defined • Monitoring scientific and technical activities and advising the AIDA management on deliverables & milestones. • Recommendations to AIDA management about scientific or technical choices • or actions to be taken with partners and Work Packages. • On request of AIDA management, participating in AIDA internal review • Providing a short document after each SAC meeting • reporting at the AIDA plenary meeting • Participate in strategy discussion about the continuation of AIDA within the European framework Horizon 2020.

  3. Overall status • Management • Large, complex project - which is a challenge • funding and resources rely significantly on other support • Second annual report delivered • Financial reports are being submitted in timely manner • not a small achievement! • Milestones and deliverables • generally on schedule • it would be surprising if some were not delayed • PM team has identified a few places to concentrate • ensure to react constructively • Present meeting informative and interesting • a lot of excellent progress has been reported

  4. Provisional feedback from AC • Many deliverables come in final year • be careful to anticipate them • Recording progress - (deliverables and milestones) • modest level of documentation is really important • not just evidence, but ensuring project outcomes are valuable to wider community • suggest short reports with standard template • Clearly some aspirations are affected by CERN test beam availability • reformulate some final objectives, taking this into account • record the impact of decisions outside project control • draw attention to the importance for AIDA

  5. Future • Projects like this need long term commitments • but in an environment where resources are available for limited term • try to maximise opportunities for follow-on project • therefore important to develop strategy for this • recognise the need to meet EU objectives, which are not just scientific or technical • networking, enhancements to existing infrastructure and capabilities, impact on European industry,… • visible record of achievements is vital • short summary reports - and links to publications - essential • with acknowledgements to AIDA
