Team activity : following a suggestion that had been made in advance by Erwin Mosselmans that
 DTOs should ‘do something useful’ at the TEC meeting, the DTOs were split into 2 groups and
asked to discuss The role of the DTO.

DTO Group 1 : TB, AD, RM, MT :

o        DTO Mission :

Contribution to the personal development of staff to ensure development to do the job
and developing personal competencies in view of career

o        Role :

      -  Administrative work : Training plan for individual – manage budget (different
          policies*)

                  -  Signatures in EDH, approval

* Discussion on payment – either group budget or central training budget :

- For TS dept. budget includes Training, PCs, travel, etc. Therefore impossible to know exactly the
amount of money spent only on training

- IT : central budget for CERN organised training, Group budgets for external training

- AB : internal courses paid by central budget, external courses paid by group budget

- SC : difficult to separate training as trips and training are mixed up

General conclusion : difficult to know how much is really spent on training
