<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">We have been hiring the PL managers, only two are missing. We will circulate soon a document to present the Pilot Line Management and Coordination Team (PL-MCT) that should help implement
the strategy and decisions made by the Steering Committee and General Assembly.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">The call for tender to subcontract part of the management via ICFO’s budget is now closed. It will be awarded soon. Please note the subcontractor will assist the PL-MCT but will not
be ultimately responsible for the Management and Coordination. ICFO is and will execute through PL-MCT, also involving other RTOs where some PL Managers are located (TNI, TU/e, CSIC).<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">We are having periodic meetings with other Pilot Lines to share common challenges. So far, not significant things to report. I will update you in due course when I have more to say.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">We are organising PIXEurope presence at Semicon Europe in Munich. PL-MCT will meet in person, also with PO, a booth between Pilot Lines is being organised, a Chips JU event introducing
the Pilots, Kevin and Peter giving talks.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">CSIC and ICFO have met and are building a proposal for recording of equipment procurement, installation, acceptance and operation.

<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">TU/e and ICFO are preparing a few examples of end-user entry form for collaborative projects (the way we start Open Access), as partners have received quite a few number of requests.
We will then need to approve template and information. Once this is done, we will share with Chips JU (I have already informed the PO we are doing this and likes the idea).
<b>Kevin</b> can explain more here.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">WP7<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">APECS and PIXEurope are defining potential areas of collaboration. Likely we will start with Interposer and CPO. We still need to define activities and how to fund them.
<b>Peter </b>can complement here.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

<p class="MsoNormal">Chips Act 2<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">CEA-LETI have proposed some ideas and, as you have probably heard, Chips JU has opened a survey. We will need to coordinate to make sure we provide coherent inputs. This is important for the sustainability phase of our Pilot Line (2020
and beyond).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">That is all for now.<o:p></o:p></p>
