---++++++ Short summary and decisions

   * Discussion with Stefano Petrucci from CAEN about possible participation in !SciFiNet as beneficiary. There appears to be a general interest and also familiarity with EU Marie Curie projects. Possible project for a student recruited at CAEN: development and commercialisation of small scale (O(10 cm)) fibre modules, equipped with !SiPM and readout electronics for pedagogical and lab/cosmics test purposes. Will be discussed with CAEN management. 

   * Hamamatsu Switzerland was informed about the intention to integrate KETEK in the network. They showed understanding and a professional attitude. Option of Hamamatsu as associated partner was also mentioned and will be discussed by them internally. First reaction was however hesitant. 

   * It was agreed to include from now on the company KETEK in the !SciFiNet communication and meetings. The contact person on the KETEK side will be Tobias Eggert.

   * Associated partners:
      * Barcelona had expressed the wish to be ful l partner of !SciFiNet, however they understood the arguments, why this was very dificult. They would like to be considered as associated partner.
      * Kurchatov. Contact is being established to Vladimir Shevchenko.     
      * Rio de Janeiro: Antonio supports this option, but we have still to find a convincing case. What's the added value to the network?
      * Heidelberg also expressed interest. 
      * The option of having a company as associated partner was discussed. Possibilities would be FACC (Austria) and a German company, with which Aachen has good working relations. 

   * Reminder: proposal wrinting course on 5 and 6 Feb (1.5 days) at CERN. Antonio and Christian reigstered.

   * First drafts of the job descriptions (ch. 4.1) were discussed. It was agreed to send all drafts to Christian who will assemble them and circulate a summary document. At this stage it's important to have a rough idea of all jobs in order to avoid duplication and to ensure reasonable linking of activities.       

   * First drafts of Institute Capacities tables were discussed (ch. 5.).

   * The following sharing of the max. 15 positions was agreed. Per partner: industry = 1; CERN = 3;  all other = 2;  ==> Sum = 15.

   * Towards Draft 0 of the proposal: Editing team (Antonio, Christian, Guido and Pascal) will meet on Thu 6 Feb, 14:00 for a brainstorming and editing meeting. Continue on Friday 7 Feb, 9:00. 

   * Next meeting: Wed, 12 Feb, 9:00

   * HOMEWORK !!!
      * Send your job descriptions to Christian (asap)
      * Send institute capacities to Christian (less urgent) 
      * Following circulation of jobs summary (hopelfully still this week) refine your descriptions (avoid duplication, foresee linking and symergies with other jobs). Deadline 6 Feb., in order to include them in the Draft 0 proposal.
