# TOP 1: Contract negotiations
H.-Jürgen Kluge (HJK) informed the EUROTRAPS members on his visit to Brussels on 15 July 1997. Since the contract negotiations with Brussels are not finished, it is not yet clear when the financial support of the networkwill start. Most probably it will start in the beginning of January, February or March 1998. The contract period will be three years. P.S.: Dr. Morsi (TMR network coordinator) promised a starting date of 1.1.98 in a recentcommunication with HJK.
# TOP 2: Financial issues
a) Travel expenses should only be used for networking within the EUROTRAPS network. If there is need to use travel money for other purposes (e.g. conferences) request should be sent to HJK prior to firm commitments.
b) Every EUROTRAPS team is asked for careful bookkeeping, since Brussels will check how the money was spent and how the expenditure is documented (keep bills and tickets etc.). To facilitate the accounting, HJK will send an Excel file to every team coordinator which should be used as a form and for monthly reporting. Everybody agreed that he/she could do so.
c) The use of overhead money is completely free.The teams should try to get back as much as possible from their administration.
d) Every team should try to use the privilege to be awarded with a TMR grantfor getting additional funds from national grant agencies. The TMR grant is meant for networking not for usual operation.
# TOP 3: Issues of personnel
a) Every team of the network is free to choose - within the rules of the employing institution - the salary of the student or postdoc to be employed. The same is true for the way of employment (fellowship or employment with social security). However, the teams must not fall short of the numbers of man months as given in our network proposal. If any team will not be able to supply their number of man months, the other teams have to jump in and increase their numbers in such a way that the total number of the network (sum = 360 man months) is not below what we promised in our contract. In that case a redistribution of the money should take place.
b) The following students and postdocs showed interest in joining one of the EUROTRAPS teams: Diedrich Beck (CERN), Jens Dilling (GSI), Stefan Schwarz (CERN), Stefan Stahl (Mainz), Gerrit Marx (Mainz), Hartmut Häffner (Mainz), Peter Seelig (GSI), Christoph Heimann (Univ. Bonn), one person from Leuven, two persons from London, two persons from Aarhus, one person from Lisbon. Since one of the key issues of the network is the exchange of personnel and know-how, every group is asked to look for more students and postdocs who would like to go abroad to one of the network teams. Positions which cannot be filled by people already working in one of the teams will be advertised in journals like Europhysics News, Physics World, La Recherche, Physikalische Blätter. In addition, free positions will be advertised in the World Wide Web.
c) Every team will inform the network coordinator, HJK, before anybody is employed or finisheshis/her work. In this way the coordinator will get an overview of whether the network will provide the promised total number of man months and can have a veto if the person to be employed does not fullfil the rules of the EC.

# TOP 5: Associated teams
The participants agreed on accepting the following research teams as "Associated Teams", which implies full information on the EUROTRAPS activities and participation in the EUROTRAPS meetings but no financial support.
1. Juväsculä, Finland: J. Äysö, Plan for a trap after IGISOL
2. GANIL, France: D. Lunney, Ch. Le Brun, Technical Proposal for a trap at SPIRAL/GANIL
3. ESRF, Grenoble, France: A. Simionovici, Plan for a trap at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility
4. Univ. Bonn, Germany: H. Kalinowsky, Antihydrogen Project at CERN
5. McGill, Canada: R. Moore, RF quadrupole traps
6. GSI, Germany, SHIP: H.-J. Kluge, Plan for a trap after SHIP (SHIPTRAP)
7. Instituto Tecnologico e Nuclear, Sacavem, Portugal: Joaquim Marcalo,Trap for FTICR
8. RIKEN, Japan: Katayama, Plan for a trap at RIKEN
9. Argonne, USA: G. Savard, CPT (Canadian Penning Trap) after a recoil ion separator
# TOP 6: World Wide Web
The central EUROTRAPS homepage was made by Wolfgang Quint and has the address http://www.gsi.de/~eurotrap/index.html. Suggestions for modifications of the EUROTRAPS homepage are welcome. The homepages of the different EUROTRAPS teams should look rather similar (at least on the first or second upper level). Wolfgang will send a html-file to the teams which will serve as a template forthe local EUROTRAPS homepages of each group. The following persons were nominated as local responsibles for the homepagesof the EUROTRAPS teams:
1. Tomas Johansson, SMILETRAP, Stockholm
2. Eva Lindroth, Atomic Theory, Stockholm
3. Ann-Marie Martensson-Pendrill, Atomic Theory, Gothenborg
4. Paul Indelicato, Atomic Theory, Paris
5. Diedrich Beck, ISOLTRAP, CERN
6. Nathal Severijns, Beta Decay Trap, Leuven
7. Jose Marques, Atomic Theory, Lisbon, Portugal
8. Marcel Immel, g-Factor Experiment, Mainz
9. Wolfgang Quint, HITRAP, GSI
10. Jonathan Merrison, Positron Trap, Aarhus/Mainz
11. Mike Charlton, Positron Trap, London
12. Lutz Schweikhard, Cluster Trap, Mainz
13. Bob Moore (associated member), McGill, Canada
# TOP 7: Next collaboration meeting and conferences
# 7.1: The coordinators of the EUROTRAPS teams will meet in spring 1998.
# 7.2: The EUROTRAPS collaboration meeting 1998 is planned to be held in October 1998 in Lisbon, Portugal. It was agreed to have a half-day meeting at the University of Lisbon with review talks addressing physicists from the University of Lisbon as well as new members of the EUROTRAPS network. Fernando Parente will advertise this series of lectures in the faculty. After that presentation, the collaboration meeting should be continued at a location preferably outside Lisbon.There should be the possibility to discuss also in small groups specialised technical items. Fernando Parente will take action.
# 7.3: The next Euroconferences will probably take place in Mainz (1999), in Cargese (2000) and in Aarhus (2001).
