16:45 - 17:30 Questions & discussions 45' 

(1) Sakellariou (ER6) from PRIELE to Pisa on April-May. We are working 
hard to obtain the contract for April, but it could shift to May-June 
due to administration delay of the University of Pisa

(2) Voudouris (ER4) from AUTH to CAEN on May-June. Unfortunately 
Voudouris has left AUTH, so Sotiropoulou (ER19) will do his secondments. 
She will stay at CAEN 9 months instead of 5, from April to July of the 
first year (4 months) and from April to August in the second year. She 
will also go to PRIELE in December-January. There is a little difference 
in the budget, since Voudouris was not married, while Sotiropoulou is 
married, so 300x4=1200 additional euros are needed for CAEN contracts 
and 300x2=600 euros for Priele contracts.

(3) Konstantakos (ER3) left AUTH, so his secondments are taken by 
Gentsos that is ESR. Konstantakos should have gone to PRIELE in 
June-July, but given the fact that Sakellariou could still be in Pisa 
into those months, and not enough experience about the project would 
have reached PRIELE in May, we propose a later secondments to better 
exploit the transfer of knowledge of coming back PRIELE personnel and 
Pisa personnel that will be there in August-September. So Gentsos is 
proposed for a four month contigous secondement from middle of August to 
middle of December. He will also return to PRIELE in the second year 
(September-October 2014). Here the needed budget is substantial less 
since Gentsos is ESR type A, while Konstantakos was ER type A. We wonder 
if we can use the budget difference to add more ESR secondments Type B 
to PRIELE from UNIPI.  This would allow a young engineer from UNIPI to 
know the reality of the PRIELE company in the second year when the 
company will produce the boards for the system.

(4) Calderini from CNRS to CAEN needs to come one month earlier 
(August-September instead of September-October)

(5) CNRS has to activate the recruitment (doing the 
selection) of an ER of experience greater that 10 years for a one year 
fellow. What happens if nobody applies? Can CNRS open a new competition 
after the first one, requiring less experienced people, if the first one 
was empty? Is there the risk that CNRS will loose his money, if the 
application will have zero candidates? 

(6) can the secondment begin in a day different from the first of the month, provided that the length of the period is maintained?

(7) CAEN will close ~10 days in August. What should we do for secondments that are foreseen in August at CAEN?

(8) Contracts: what to do if the "corte dei conti" will reject the contract proposal for the secondments at UNIPI?

(9) Contracts: CAEN has the possibility to perform a contract of type A and B with the same formula (contratto a progetto) that has a low rate of taxes. Is it acceptable?

(10) INFN and University of Pisa are tied by agreements. Could INFN be a third party in this project and could his personnel be seconded like the  UNIPI personnel? Probably is not possible now in this project, but could we do it in a future application?

(11) What should be considered "Subcontracting"? Ordering the PCB construction of a board designed by the consortium is a Subcontract? 

(12) To be eligible, the newly recruited researcher must be an experienced researcher who at the time of recruitment was not a staff member researcher. What does mean "staff" in this case? Simply he should not have a 

(13) the agreement between the beneficiaries and researcher is the contract?

(14) Technical staff  secondments to be negotiated. Verify for Marco

(15) Z-card what is it?

(16) Declaration of Conformity. Can we have a template?

(17) Where we can charge the Outreach expenses?

(18) 2012 call Workprogram says the the seconded person has to be payed by the sending institution for 12 months after the last secondment. 2013 Workp. says that the seconded person has to be covered for a period as long as the last secondment.  Which one does apply?
