**Achievements in reporting period:**

  *** List of activities organised during reporting period**
  - 1st EVN TOG Meeting 17. April.2009 Torun/Poland; 27 participants, 9 countries (DE, FI, IT, NL, PL, SE, SP, UK, USA); 
  - 1st Engineering Forum Workshop, 23-24.June.2009 Göteborg/Sweden; 54 participants, 10 countries (DE, FI, FR, IT, NL, SE, SP, UK, USA, ZA);
 
  ***Meetings attended – both meetings for NA organisation or meetings on behalf of RadioNet**
  - see meetings above

  ***Activities for the Engineering Database**
  - a preliminary version of a questionnaire to be distributed among the partners has been issued
  - all the partners have been asked to provide the contact person for data collection


**Problems / Issues**
  * **Issues - organisational, administrative or other problems foreseen**
  - The meeting in Göteborg was more expensive as assumed, due to the big participants number. However there is no need to worry for the total financial envelope of the WP3-budget.
  - Local Organisation Costs (LOC) could be smaller if there will be more outreach materials from RadioNet-FP7: e.g. folders, pens, notebooks
  - Very few answers have been collected in response to the request for a contact person to the database. A different approach will be applied, consisting in a direct visit involving, to a first round, the larger institutes. Then, a final version of the questionnaire will be distributed among the remaining institutes for compilation.


  * **Red flags - major problems**
  - It should be clear to all RadioNet-F7 participants that there is an own effort in organisation of a workshop/meeting. Not everything could be paid from the NA budget and not everything can be paid, due to the limited budget. Some financial support from the local organisers could be expected.
  - The VAT is still an unclear issue to the RadioNet-FP7 partners. I think the decision of the board from 31. March.2009 should be make more clear not only to the board members but also to all partners.
  - Only two (2) answers have been given in response to the request, sent to all institutes part of Radionet, for a contact person to the database. More participation is therefore hihly desirable. A different approach will be applied as a countermeasure to the actual situation, consisting in a direct visit involving, to a first round, the larger institutes. Then, a final version of the questionnaire will be distributed among the remaining institutes for compilation (presumibly during the second engineering workshop).
  - There is a problem to view and/or download the PDF files from the wiki page of the Engineering Workshop. That issue was forwarded to the RadioNet-FP7 Management Team and we are waiting for the solution.




**Forward Look**

  * **Plan for next year – 12 months outlook, more detail in first 6 month (including budget for each planned meeting/workshop)**

The meetings are orgnised on plan. I can't give any details on the budget of the past and future meetings, since I don't have any end-numbers

  * **Expenditures - equipment, material and services**

* Some equipment was bought for the smooth and professional organising and running of the TOG and Engineering Forum meetings: a laptop, adapters (VGA, etc), remote control device, back-up disk drive, computer bag. These equipment is available for the speakers during the meeting, is used for the setting the meetings/workshops organisational issues and additionally serve as a storage of all management issues of that work package.
