        WP organization & Project Execution Plan (PEP)
        Speaker: Sebastijan Brezinsek (WP PWIE Project Leader)

        Sebastijan Brezinsek presented the overview of WP PWIE activities

        The Project Board members asked to clarify following points:

        • UKAEA representative: high priority projects

        => reflected in grant deliverables / ADC high priority to get soon an answer

        • CEA representative: what is the status of LIBS in JET

        => criticial - no funding avaialble though ITER high priority. SP X2 address LIBS conditions as expected in ITER or JET (~0,95bar) and typical layer conditions

        • CEA representative: how is the link to FTD and other WPs established

        => joint meeting of PL FSD/FTD biweekly, joint meeting of all FSD PL biweekly, SPL in WP WPWIE and SCs in WP TE are linked where appropriate

        • FZJ representative: how is the link of WP PWIE and TSVV and how can the PB PWIE impact on TSVV work

        => Thrusts as link to communicate / no direct impact of this PB /example MAGNUM experiments to study detachment feed into TSVV 5 as benchmark experiment

        => Volker Naulin: No overlapp as TSVV shall develop - no day to day modelling

        • JSI representative: flexibility in the WP PWIE

        => WP PWIE for 2021 and 2022 almost fixed, other years resources indicativ. Changes according priority possible. Closure of TASKS e.g. KIT DIVGAS are foreseen

        Speaker: Denis Kalupin (FSD CO Theory & Modelling)

        Denis Kalupin has presented the overview of EnR projects in the area of Materials:

        • project selection;
        • organisation of activities; and
        • communication platforms.

        PB members asked for clarifying the role of the PB in approval of EnR activities. T. Donné and V. Naulin have clarified that the main responsibility of the PB will be to follow the progress of EnR projects, check and approve necessary revisions to the EnR programme (following the recommendations of SB.EnR-MAT)

        Since EnR projects have already been approved by the General Assembly, the PB agreed as an action to take a note on the project start.

        In order to improove the communication on the ENR progress, PB recommended to have presentations by EnR PIs in EUROfusion Science Meeting or at the FSD Science Meeting.
