2. FCC CDR AND EUROPEAN STRATEGY FOR PARTICLE PHYSICS
STATUS
The four FCC Conceptual Design Report volumes are ready and will be published in the coming weeks.
For the ESPP process, short summary documents have been produced (10 pages + annex each document)
outlining a) science, b) strategic goals, c) technology, d) impact, e) cost, f) implementation schedule, g)

computing matters. Documents will be submitted to the ESPP process on December 18 about 1) physics, 2)
FCC-ee, 3) FCC-hh, 4) HE-LHC, 5) Combined FCC program.
Press release by the CERN press office on 15 January 2018.
The volume will be submitted to the high impact journals Eur. Phys. J. C and ST.
3. FCC WEEK 2019
The next FCC week will take place in Brussels (Belgium) from 24 to 28 June 2019. Although this is the
EuroCirCol final event, the EC has been asked to grant an unpaid project extension until 31 December 2019.
The goal is to submit a proposal for a detailed technical design study, still within H2020. The EASITrain project
is part (co-organiser) of the FCC week. Therefore, all ESRs are kindly requested to actively participate (present
research during the week).
This goal needs to be well prepared with the ESR supervisors.
We will ask the EC if it is thinkable to carry out the mid-term review in the scope of the FCC week, as was the
case for EuroCirCol.
It has been noted that there is no dedicated session for the EASITrain project. It has been suggested by Johannes
Gutleber that the ESRs contribute to the presentations of the project inside the common scientific programme.
It is mentioned that the SRF 19 conference will take place in Dresden, Germany, from 30th June to 05th July
2019. See: http://www.srf2019.org/?s=welcome. It will be composed by 3-day tutorials.
Then, the SRF sessions should take place on 25th and 26th June during the FCC Week.
4. EASISCHOOL 2
An update has been asked on the preparation status in order to start preparing (budget, invitations, planning,
block dates, invite external participates, create stationary).
The next EASISchool (2) will take place in France, organised by CEA. We have asked the EC to accept a
change of the Grant Agreement plan without amendment: a 1-week short school at a later point in
time (until early autumn).
This event is split between two different locations. A smooth transfer between CEA Paris-Saclay and
Grenoble (4 hours by train) is required.
EASISchool 2 focuses on more exposure to the industry with alternating lecturers from academic
institutes and industries, visits of Research centres and industries. A provisional agenda is available on
François Millet’s slides: https://indico.cern.ch/event/737120/. This event is open to external
participants.
A tentative date for is event is 30 September 2019 (one week after the week planned initially). It is
needed to inform Mr. François Millet for any potential overlapping event.
A budget for this event has to be set up and an Indico webpage is needed.
A creation of a dedicated webpage for this event is not needed.
For EASISchool2, relevant mailing lists should be identified that can be used to announce the event.
Johannes suggested to contact L. Tavian for cryogenics related lists and other people who are active
in the field.
ECTS points: to be clarified by the organisers (CEA) of the school.

For the reimbursement of travel costs, a letter of invitation has to be done by the CEA as the host
institution. The EASITrain office will send a template to François Millet and Bertrand Baudouy for
review and use if convenient.
Regarding the public activities during the EASISchool 2, Jakub and Andrea are in charge to develop
proposals.
5. EUROCIRCOL INDUSTRIAL CO-INNOVATION WORKSHOP
(LIVERPOOL, 22 MARCH)
University of Liverpool (C. Welsh) is organising in the scope of EuroCirCol an industry co-innovation
workshop in Liverpool (UK) on March 22. The program is at http://indico.cern.ch/event/747618 . EASITrain is
co-organiser.
The goal is to brainstorm and draft concrete potential follow-up R&D projects for which participating institutes
can prepare EU funded R&D proposals. The FCC CDR has defined a list of key technology R&D priorities.
The EASITrain R&D topics are fully part of this priority list and therefore a strong participation of EASITrain
is suggested during this workshop.
This is an academy/industry event with keynote speakers such as former CERN accelerator director Steve
Myers. This event has an Indico webpage: https://indico.cern.ch/event/747618/ The idea is to explore possible
R&D projects/topics and potential funding instruments.
EASITrain logo has to be added on the Indico site.
Email invitations and list of topics must be sent to the organisers at UNILIV.
6. PLANNING OF WP MEETINGS IN 2019
The preparation of the progress check has revealed that WPs do not regularly hold WP coordination and
planning meetings. The EC is very keen that the project is progressing in a well-organised manner. It is also for
us, the project members helpful to plan well the work and to ensure that all resources and work to be carried out
is well defined.
Therefore, each WP should plan for a monthly "jour fixe" at which the key persons should interact (telephone,
video conference, in person) in order to plan and track the work progress.
Each meeting should at least have a) an agenda, b) an item tracking on Indico and c) a participation list, so we
can easily compile a list of meetings for the several upcoming reports.
EC participants share their opinions:
6.1. WP2 – MATERIALS
J. Gutleber informs that A. Ballarino confirms the need for regular meetings with Vidyo support. M.
Eisterer proposed short monthly Vidyo meetings and also supported the concept of joint WP2-WP3
meetings (i.e. summarize his slide)
Simon Hopkins to discuss with the colleagues on how to organise.
6.2. WP3 – MANUFACTURING
Cristian Pira to agree with WP2 on continuation of joint meetings or separate monthly meetings with
Vidyo support.

J. Gutleber adds that tentative dates should be added in Indico. They can be changed later on. The
coordinator relies on the Indico entries for the periodic reporting to the EC.
6.3. WP4 – CRYOGENICS
François Millet: Suggests to make meetings with specific topics to set up this meeting and then it will
done.
Bertrand Baudouy: Once a month is convenient by video.
J. Gutleber asks who is the WP leader taking the lead for this item. C. Haberstroh said that as WP
leader he will discuss internally the approach.
6.4. WP5 – VALORISATION
WP 5: meeting is already set up on Fridays, once per month.
6.5. WP6 – TRAINING
Marina Putti will agree with J. Gutleber on regular dates for short alignments in a small group.
6.6. DISCUSSION AND INTERACTION
François Millet pointed out that no ESRs specific session was planned on 11 October 2018.
Dorothea Fonnesu suggests to have a dedicated ESR specific reporting meeting in addition to an ECC
meeting. The agenda would be shared with ECC participants and the ESRs.
Marina Putti suggests that the ESRs may prepare and organize the meeting by themselves.
J. Gutleber reminds that ECC participants can submit agenda items before the meeting and are
usually invited to do so.
7. WORK PACKAGE STATUS
7.1. WP2 STATUS
Intellectual property issues solved. An agreement has been signed between TU Wien and ASG, but this was
drafted to rely on the terms of the GA and CA, and may therefore be suitable for all participants. . Simon
Hopkins has provided a summary of the terms and a form that will be properly put in an editable format, put on
the EASITrain Sharepoint site and distributed to all participants.

Issues/risks: no issues
Planned Secondments: Linde Kryotechnik (to be settled for 2019);
University of Stuttgart (academic)
ESR 15 Maxime Podeur Model to predict the performance of radial compressors coupled to
an optimisation algorithm; first turbo-compressor design and its
improvement; test rig compressor chosen; feasibility study done and
validated by the supplier; first design of the large scale compressor
worked out
Issues/risks: a delay in the commissioning of the test rig is expected
because of the difficulty of finding a suitable compressor
manufacturer and motor provider
Correction actions: development of the test rig model is preponed;
this model will be helpful for further practical steps
Secondments: MAN (1st secondment done, 2nd planned)
Milestones of 1st March needs to be re-scoped since a new turbocompressor development will take
much longer than originally foreseen. Therefore the test stand goes in operation with an existing
compressor and part of the research is the development of a new compressor.
It is required to inform the EC: process diagram, bill of materials, components, photos, paragraph with
a description, before the deadline of 1st March. No more than 10 pages. D. Vogt and M. Podeur should
prepare the document based on the milestone template to be sent by C. Hunsicker as soon as possible.
Bertrand Baudouy pointed out that the Helium price is increasing and it is needed to anticipate the
risks. Mitigation actions have to be checked and discussed with the ESRs. Johannes suggested to first

document the issue and then speak to the experts in the relevant engineering domain. If needed, the
topic can be put on the agenda of the upcoming ECC meeting.
7.4. WP5 STATUS
ESR 5 Linn Kretzschmar
Has started her dissertation project which will be dealing with the
question how AI may be leveraged in the management of dispersed
R&D projects
Currently running a project to analyse the value chain of the
production of superconducting magnets; next semester, we will look
in detail into the most important use cases; will do similar studies for
thinfilm RF cavities in 2019
We have developed the “non-scientific” module (Technological
Competence Leveraging, Business Design) for the EASISchool 1; the
concept can directly go into the curriculum for the PhD program on
Applied Superconductivity
7.5. WP6 STATUS
Current work
Preparing the FCC Week 2019, which will take place from 24 to 28 June 2019 in Brussels, Belgium.
Organization of the EASISchool2
Next steps
Organise EASISchool 3
Organise transferrable skills trainings.
Dedicated workshop including diversity experts from CERN with extensive experience in international
research projects, how to promote concrete initiatives to further promote gender equality.
Assessment of a new, international and interdisciplinary PhD program on applied superconductivity.
PhD curriculum in "Applied Superconductivity" at the University of Genova has been drawn up. The
following issues were discovered:
o There is no possibility to establish new PhD-level course at the level of an individual initiative,
but it is possible to open new curricula within an already existing course.
o A new curriculum requires external supporters. We received positive feedbacks from
institutions (INFN and CNR) from local institutions (Liguria region) and from a national agency
(ASI). Project partner IEEE agreed to provide limited funding for distinguished lecturers and to
help facilitating engaging them via their university networks. A dedicated agreement between
IEEE and CERN needs to be established for this purpose, permitting the funding, travel
arrangements via CERN and the provisioning of lecturing infrastructures by CERN.
We need feedback from industry.

Training activities of the curriculum must be implemented and coordinated within the program of the
PhD course.
Showstoppers
To define carefully the topics of further training activities in order to avoid duplication of subjects, do
not overload with information.
Consider the results of ESR questionnaires.
Marina Putti suggested to make the students more active in the organisation of the EASISchool. They may
prepare a side programme, invite other students and organise tutorials. They may propose an agenda and topics.
F. Millet asked if ESRs qualitative feedbacks of EASISchool 1 are available.
The next ESRs feedback must have more open questions.
D. Fonnesu will gather additional feedback.
8. NEXT ECC MEETING
The next ECC meeting is merged with FCC Innovation workshop in Liverpool. It will be held on Thursday,
March 21 2019 in Liverpool, UK at the premises of the physics department. The meeting will take place around
15:00 in the afternoon.
The meeting is closed at 10:57 am.
