Most of our financial resources came from the National Research and Development Programs; contributions from international grants or institutions (EU, in the FP6 framework or ESA, in the PECS framework) contribute also to our research budget.
Our budget in the last few years:
● 2004 2.25 M RON (0.51 M Euro)● 2005 3.05 M RON (0.76 M Euro)● 2006 4.29 M RON (1.19 M Euro)
Another kind of history…
Before the early ’90’s: Some people left, no coming back intentions…
During the ’90’s: Many people left abroad, but most of them keeping the affiliation
Last few years: Nobody left (!!!), people started to came back!
We must expand, a new building is in project.
Basement: computing center, small workshopGround: clean rooms, officesFirst and second floors: offices (including for visitors)An auditorium (about 60 seats)
ROASTROPART
A newly created consortium made of:
● ISS
● IFIN-HH
● University of Bucharest
● Polytechnic University of Bucharest
In May 24 -25 we expected the visit of an ApPEC delegation…
What could we do for KM3NeT?
WP2: Astroparticle Physics
WP3: Physics analysis
● Exotica: magnetic monopoles, nuclearites, Q-balls
● Tests of relativity (“exotic” neutrino oscillations)
WP4: System and product engineering
WP5: Information technology
● Small scale tests, experimental models, etc.
