Mid-term evaluation report for project AC-TSVV.XX.XXXX (TEMPLATE).docx

Following comments were made by the Board.

Regarding the Mid-Term Review:

• Introduce corrections to the evaluation form (Colin Roach)
• Separate scientific part of PI's presentation (which can be done at EUROfusion seminar) from the formal organisational/managerial (which need to be presented to the SB in a separate meeting)
• feedback from WPs (Thrusts) is important to monitor the use of TSVV developed tools

Regarding annual planning of ACH support:

• the process of ACH resources allocation seems to be fine in general
• two-step evaluation shall remain
• the first step (call/evaluation of new requests) shall be postponed to June
• remind code coordinators on their responsibility on careful and clever planning of ACH resources for their codes (TSVV limits shall be remembered) (Action on PMU)

Regarding the synergies between TSVVs:

• 'horizontal' interactions between different TSVVs and exchange of tools and ideas is important and shall be encouraged (Action on the SB)

Decisions:

• The ACH work plan 2023 is finalised and accepted by the board
