Program:
Program
of Day 1
1. Introduction
Welcome by P.
Ruckenbauer; Introduction of the participants of this meeting and presentation
of the scientific/commercial activities of the participating groups.
2.
Financial aspects
Overview
of cost reimbursement rules of the EC by H. Buerstmayr. Accuracy in finances
absolutely required.
3. Detailed discussion of WP3
All scientific activities as well as deliverables and milestones of Workpackage 3 to be achieved within the first project year have been discussed in detail. The deliverables and milestones can be achieved.
4.
Consortium Agreement
Discussion of legal aspects which should be taken up in the Consortium Agreement.
The most important points are:
Regulation
of the use of the wheat lines made available by the partners in the
consortium for the screening nursery.
Confidentiality of the results; time laps in which results and plant material will be made available to third parties.
Further
intellectual property options (e.g. patents) and user rights of new
information and new materials will be discussed whenever necessary during the project meetings. If required the Consortium
Agreement will be adapted.
Publishing
scientific information: For agreement publications are distributed among all
partners one month before publishing.
Proposal
of the Consortium Agreement will be constructed by P1 and discussed during
the next meeting in Ireland in March 21 to March 22, 2002
Consortium agreement of the project “Genome mapping and genetic
studies of the resistance and pathogenicity in the wheat-Fusarium
scab system” could be used
and modified based on the general conditions specified in the model contract

Program
of Day 2
5.
Detailed discussion of WP1
All
scientific activities as well as deliverables and milestones of Workpackage 1 to
be achieved within the first project year have been discussed in detail.
Wherever necessary statistical layout of
the experiments was standardized. Exchange of material
(e.g. wheat lines, Fusarium strains…) was arranged. The deliverables
and milestones can be achieved.
6.
Detailed discussion of WP2
All
scientific activities as well as deliverables and milestones of Workpackage 2 to
be achieved within the first project year have been discussed in detail. The
deliverables and milestones can be achieved.
7.
General remarks
The
next meeting in Ireland in March 21 and 22, 2002.
8.
Networking with other EU-Projects (Mycotoxin cluster, cost projects)
Paul
Nicholson will participate in the meeting of the ”EU-Project Prevention of
Fusarium mycotoxins entering
human and animal food chain” in Bari, Italy in February 2002
9.
Miscellaneous
Public
awareness ==> Poster, leaflets and website prepared by P I until end of
February
Project
partner and project cluster interaction ==> primarily by e-mail, newsgroups,
webpage and conferences
Problems
==> Deadlines for reports will fall in field seasons end, which limits the
presentation of complete field data for the previous research segment
