Planned scientific activities at ECT* in 2013
At the 60th Meeting of ECT*’s Board on Sep 29, 2012 12 new proposals for WS’s and CM’s have been approvedtotal # of approved events (WS’s + CM’s + DTP) is 20, i.e. at the limit of what ECT* is able to handle
ECT* Doctoral training programme and TALENT school in 2012

Conclusions on TALENT(see also the detailed report by Morten Hjorth-Jensen (MSU U of Oslo)
on the ECT* web page: www.ectstar.eu and more general information at www.nucleartalent.org)
• Great success of the first TALENT course
• In 2013 altogether 4 TALENT courses may be run:
1) “Nuclear forces” at the INT (approved): R. Furnstahl and A. Schwenk
2) “Nuclear astrophysics” at MSU: M. Hjorth-Jensen, S. Reddy and H. Schatz
3) ”Nuclear reactions” at GANIL: F. Nunes and J. Tostevin
4) “Density functional theory and self-consistent methods” at ECT* : P. Ring, P. Schuck, S.
Bogner, G. Orlandini, N. Schunck, D. Vretenar and Morten Hjorth-Jensen (Project coordinator).
The proposal has been discussed at the meeting of ECT*’s Scientific Board on Sep 29 but a
decision has been deferred.

Real Expenditure within ECT* BUDGET 2011
(and provisional costs for 2012)
The main expense chapters:
ECT* Budget and status of funding
How might 3rd party funding of ECT* be improved ?
• Presently 16 European funding agencies / institutions contribute to the operation of ECT* (MoU: 100 k€ 1 k€)
• The US is often contributing directly to workshops with organizer(s) from American Universities/Research Labs
• Countries with 50 users: Austria (51), Russia (52), Switzerland (91) ? Users (33) from Norway (11) + Sweden (22) ?• ANPhA countries: Japan (156) + India (16) + Australia (12) + China (10) + Taiwan (5) = 199 visitors
Implementation Plan 2013 of the ECT* requested
by the FBK
Dear Prof. Richter and Prof. Weise, the moment is quickly approaching when FBK ought to present the Implementation Plan 2013 for formal approval by the Board of Directors. In order to streamline the writing and editing process, a description template was set up for units and centers. We wish to remind you that - in compliance with rules set forth by the local government - the document must be written in Italian. However, a translation in English (tables excluded) of the Italian text may be added (as to make it more accessible to an international readership). Once compiled, the description of your center should be sent back to [email protected] strictly before OCT. 31, 2012. Best wishesAndrea Simoni

FP7/HP3 and FP7/ENSAR
• ECT* reconsidered together with the FBK administration a new (more durable) calculation of
the so called Unit Cost for Transnational Access to be discussed soon with HP3 Project
Coordinator Carlo Guaraldo.
• The 2nd Collaboration meeting of the JRA07 THEXO will be held at ECT* October 22-24,
2012.
• Functions of the outgoing ECT* Director (AR) in HP3 and ENSAR should be taken over by
the incoming ECT* Director (WW) as of November 01, 2012.
• The invaluable help of Administrative Assistant Serena Degli Avancini and Senior Research
Associate Dr. Daniele Binosi in managing both FP7 projects for ECT* is very much
appreciated.
