  • discussion:
    • Carlo: support discussing grants
    • Hoang: take part in shifts to get to know parts of the code
    • Pico: requires willingness of seniors
    • Lorenzo: knowledge transfers from senior to junior, but also vice versa
    • Ben: not ECR and not senior, still no clue about some parts of Geant4
    • Lorenzo: should not be afraid to use the committee for the benefit of young members
    • Pico: what do ECR committees do in other collaborations?
    • Lorenzo: main idea is to have representative to make SB aware of topics (grants, imbalance of person power)
