• I presented the development of the ECT* in recent years and its present status in some detail.

• Renewal of the MoU: The present MoU, endorsed by the Scientific Board of ECT* and the former

ECT* Director Jean-Paul Blaizot, and inherited by the present ECT* Director, was signed in October

2008 for five years and thus will expire in October 2013. This means that the MoU has to be renewed

soon.

Final remark

• Professor Wolfram Weise / TU Munich has signed with the Fondazione Bruno

Kessler a contract and will be ECT*’s new Director from November 01, 2012 on.

I’m already involving him in all matters concerning future developments of the

ECT*. He has e.g. acted as external member of a Research Personnel Assessment

Committee for the Staff Stabilization Program of the ECT*, and has been and will

be present, respectively, at Scientific Board Meetings on June 04 and September

29, 2012.
