GRANT AGREEMENT CHANGES

STORM FINANCIAL

FINANCIAL EXECUTION Financial Execution of the project: examples of some data from some beneficiaries

IASB (83.000 EUR – first nine months 2013, 110.000 EUR - estimated 2013, ~30% of total EU budget for IASB, within the safe side, perhaps some rearrangements necessary)

Some beneficiaries received from national resources the complementary funding (25%) for the RTD activities (Poland, Hungary, Romania)

please check at the end of 2013 how much money did you spent, how much is left, how the expenses fit in the Grant Agreement plan; if correction measures are necessary (e.g. reallocation between budget chapters) please contact the Coordinator such that we can start negotiations with EU and REA as soon as possible

9 conferences and presentations

PUBLICATIONS AND DISSEMINATION

STORM DISSEMINATION

A new Amendment of the Ga is necessary in order to adopt the electronic-only submission of financial reports; it will be effective for the last reporting period

We need confirmation that all the partners agree on this change, see last message from Michael Mitternacht

A third amendment of STORM GA is probably needed to include modification of the deliverable dates for D6.1 to June 2015.

The STORM webpage is launched at http://storm-fp7.eu; the webpage has a private zone where we can upload files, share documents, store publications

Deliverables D2.1 and D3.1 should be prepared until the end of the year

Perhaps we need better coherence between teams in order to share the efforts necessary to achieve the objectives and realize the deliverables; the Beneficiary formally responsible for a deliverable is not supposed to do the entire work

UOULU proposes a list of topics relevant for D2.1 but also for other deliverables

The experience of teleconferences is rather positive although the technical conditions could be improved; webex offers adequate possiblities, skype may be an alternative

I suggest to have one teleconference each two months to evaluate the project advances

We may have a STORM splinter during the EGU in April 2014 (to summarize the session , etc.)

The STORM workshop is scheduled for the summer of 2015; a visit of possible venues in Romania by STORM representatives could be useful/necessary,

Possible idea: to couple the STORM workshop with a regional school on turbulence and nonlinear processes in geophysics (EGU may provide some support)
