SWT BOARD closed session


Present: Angelos Vourlidas (NRL), Eugene Rozanov (PMOD), Shaun Bloomfield (TCD),

Anik De Groof (ESA), Joe Zender (ESA), Marie Dominique (ROB-LYRA), Udo Schuehle (LINMPI), Stefaan Poedts (KULeuven), David Berghmans (ROB-SWAP), Ludwig Klein (OBSPM)


The 16 received GI-proposals were discussed (see Appendix for full list). It was felt that all proposals were of sufficient quality and feasibility to be selectable. Their merits were estimated on the basis of the following criteria:


On the basis of this the proposals were grouped in two categories:

Category 1 (proposals to be funded within the foreseen 7 slots, arbitrary ordering):

Snow , Patsourakos, Srivastava, Cessateur, Raftery, Kienreich, Slemzin

Category 2 (proposals to be funded if funding available, arbitrary ordering)

Kariyappa, Banerjee, Shugay


In addition the board makes the following recommendations:


Following the above prioritization, the allocated budget and the required resources, the P2SC will look into how many of the above proposals can be funded.
