KI meeting 13th December

 

  • Draft document submitted to HVL for a read through
  • James will follow up with Heidi about CERN
  • Sveinug is reading it as well

 

Are’s slides

 

  • Agreement on the names representing each institution for the editing (Agder will follow up on who should do it from there)
  • Budget structure
    • Need to discuss about how long people can be hired for… how long can PD positions run for?
    • Need to account for ATLAS membership fees (post docs only)
  • Personnel numbers are higher than we can ask for, see scaled down proposal
    • Therese: are the in-kind numbers fixed with the institutions? 
      • Are: numbers are guaranteed for NTNU, two of the PhDs are already funded.
      • Matthias: for Bergen the numbers reflect roughly what is possible
      • UiO numbers are low but realistic since UiO isn’t hosting the centre
      • Are: fix the numbers for now, if there is a very good reason to change them then we can, but assume it’s fixed for purposes of discussing with institutes 
      • Are: now need to decide how to allocate resources
  • Other topics
    • Farid will look after the letter of support from WLCG
    • Short discussion on computing, need write something. Best if we settle on data, NIRD storage platform, since this gives us compute for free. Need to decide on a gradient, max integral of costs. Initial guess 500TB, not all needed at once? James will write some slides for next time
  • Are will upload slides
  • Meet on Wednesday @ 9am
  • Eirik: do your homework on the numbers and what each PhD/postdoc/in-kind/staff will do in each WP!
There are minutes attached to this event. Show them.
