Achievements in reporting period:

• List of activities organised during reporting period

1) 30-50 GHz Science Workshop, Manchester (UK), 14-15 September 2009 - Allocated 3500 Euro

2) ALMA Workshop “From data cubes to science”, Koln (DE), October 5-7, 2009 - Allocated 7000 Euro

3) Tutorial on CASA, Bonn (DE), 5-7 October 2009 - Allocated 1500 Euro

4) EPTA Meeting, Besancon (FR), 19 October 2009 - Allocated 5000 Euro

Note that events 1) and 3) were not included in the initial implementation plan. Workshop (1) enhances the synergy within different activities in RadioNet, since it was organised in coordination with APRICOT. Event 3) has been added very recently, after careful inspection of the financial resources still available.

• Meetings attended – both meetings for NA organisation or meetings on behalf of RadioNet

None

Problems / Issues

• Issues - organisational, administrative or other problems foreseen

One issue which has recently raised is the continuous request of support for CASA tutorials. On one hand, I am aware of the fact that NA2 is expected to include ALMA Science and related events (i.e. CASA tutorials); on the other, it is definitely not possible to support all initiatives at a high level of contribution requested. I have contacted Martin Zwaan from ESO, to ask for collaboration on this. It has been agreed that NA2 provides a total of 10 kEuro/year for the CASA tutorials, and the sum is distributed among the various tutorials across Europe. Details on the CASA tutorial plan for 2010 should be ready soon.

• Red flags - major problems

Forward Look

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

The following list of activities is still preliminary, and additions are expected from ALMA and EPTA.

1) “Compact Binaries” Workshop, Barcelona (ES), January 2010 - Allocated 9000 Euro

2) CASA Tutorial, Bologna (IT), possibly March 2010 - Allocated 5000 Euro

3) “Magnetic Fields” Workshop, Riccione (IT), April or May 2010 - Allocated 7000 Euro
