Last year: “…..or the art of [talking] for half an hour about nothing!” cut backs at CERN due to LHC largely not replaced by other labs general lack of funding This year: some signs of improvement: funding from EC FP6 + ISTC uplift in (at least) one country more positive noises from CERN management future proposals to FP6/7 work still being done……….. European Commission 6th Framework Programme: EC has defined various actions to fund many only for specific thematic priorities made substantial funds available – 17.5B€! some actions possible for PP ? ESGARD Coordinated a proposal against Integrating Activities ? Coordinated Accelerator Research in Europe Exploited two activities: - Networking Activities ? BENE - Joint Research Activities ?
