Description

Reason and timing

Last September we have clearly entered a new phase of the ET project now that a group of research ministries has submitted an application for the status of ESFRI project (Roadmap 2021).

Outline of programme

  • Today we will update you on several developments.
  • We will discuss how our group can strengthen our position and ambitions in the “ ET arena “ and how we can better collaborate and coordinate our activities.
  • An important goal of the meeting is to identify topics where concrete collaboration between groups in our countries can be organized/stimulated [agenda item 5].
  • Also the possibility of a common position with respect to the ET governance can be explored [agenda item 3].

Zoom coordinates

The meeting room will be open from 13:45 to allow a timely start on 14:00.
