Subject: [Pixeurope-mct] PIXEurope: Amendment to JPA updates
Message-ID: <DB9PR10MB4700993F63799905542E0967EC312@DB9PR10MB4700.EURPRD10.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM>

Dear all,
As some partners have recently initiated an amendment process for the JPA, the Project Officer has shared the following template related to Annex III. Whenever you wish to initiate an amendment, please complete this document and submit it to the PO.
Below you will find the link to the Excel file, available on our SharePoint, as well as the presentation with guidelines for this process:

I am also including below a set of considerations provided by the PO, which should be taken into account:

  *
Please use the attached equipment list, which amends Annex III of the JPA. The initial equipment costs (from the original JPA) are retained to preserve the basis for classifying items as crucial or non-crucial. While price changes may affect thresholds, the original classification (crucial/non crucial) must remain unchanged. In addition, please update the sheet with the most recent information (either estimated or actual costs, depending on the procurement status). This table will become Annex I of the amendment request you will send by email once I approve the sheet.



  *   A key requirement in this sheet is to ensure a balanced distribution of EU and national funding, not only in the overall totals but also within the categories of crucial and non-crucial equipment. In particular, the total funding for non-crucial and for crucial equipment separately must be exactly 50% EU and 50% national. Please refer to the original funding shares: some items are funded entirely by the EU or by national sources to simplify the involvement of Chips JU in procurement procedures, while others are adjusted to a different rate to achieve the overall 50/50 balance.

Best regards,
Ana

Dear MCT,

I wanted to follow up on the discussion during the last meeting regarding the agenda for the in-person meeting on 19 May.

Following internal discussions with Valerio, we propose structuring the meeting around two main areas:


  1.
Alignment ahead of the GA and PIXeurope Connect (e.g. Open Access Services, Gateway, Collaboration Agreement, IP and cost models...)

  2.
Critical points affecting Pilot Line operations moving forward

As mentioned before, I would like us shape the agenda collaboratively to make the meeting as productive as possible. For this reason, rather than circulating a draft agenda at this stage, I would appreciate everyone's inputs on the points below:


  *
Main challenges in your area of management or affecting the Pilot Line as a whole so far
  *
Critical points affecting operations, or which may affect them in the future
  *
Information you would like to share with the wider team (and how long you will need)
  *
Information you would like to obtain from other managers
  *
Any additional issues you believe we should discuss as a team

There is no need to respond to every point, but I would appreciate some input from everyone. Once we gather these contributions, Ana and I will structure the agenda accordingly and circulate it.

On a different - but critical - note, we have booked a restaurant for dinner after the meeting (L?Olivera<https://barolivera.com/> restaurant, Calle de los Escultores Claper?s 39, 08018, Barcelona<https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=cf33b23b3bae459661a105ae00756f4d5eaa9a81809d4250cc6bfe2c72aff82cJmltdHM9MTc3ODAyNTYwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=27054b74-c5c0-6ce5-3a64-5ee5c4b76dbb&u=a1L21hcHM_Jm1lcGk9NTZ-fkVtYmVkZGVkfkFkZHJlc3NfTGluayZ0eT0xOCZxPUwlMjdPbGl2ZXJhJnNzPXlwaWQuWU44RjA3MUU0NDNBM0VFODk2JnBwb2lzPTQxLjQwNTgwMzY4MDQxOTkyXzIuMTg5MzQ4MjIwODI1MTk1M19MJTI3T2xpdmVyYV9ZTjhGMDcxRTQ0M0EzRUU4OTZ-JmNwPTQxLjQwNTgwNH4yLjE4OTM0OCZ2PTImc1Y9MSZGT1JNPU1QU1JQTA&ntb=1>, 8pm) and need you to pick your main course and dessert:  MCT Social dinner - 19 May, 2026 ?

Dera Marina, all,

I believe the PIXEurope operational flow behind OA services will be a critical point in the upcoming months.

Specifically, OA committee, assignment of Account Manager(s), ToR, evaluation criteria - do we need them and what they should be, eg for Collaborative R&D but potentially also Training, Prototyping.
Additionally, a point raised by Callum at PSC: Training of Account Managers - I have informed Alona, but possibly it is worth discussing the format of such trainings, so we can support her.

Kind regards,
Marika

Hi all,

I was thinking a bit more about the D3.2 timeline and wondering whether it might make more sense to pause work on the deliverable until after the GA and Ecosystem event.

Given how busy everyone is with preparations at the moment, it may be difficult to coordinate inputs and reviews in parallel, and we would probably benefit from incorporating discussions from the GA into the deliverable anyway.

What do you think?

@Valerio/Ana, if we were to submit at the end of June, would that still be OK from a ChipJU perspective?

Thanks all and have a good weekend.

Kind regards,
Padraic

Hi Liz, all,

Thanks for the feedback.

I?m conscious that everyone?s schedules may be tight in the run-up to the PIXEurope GA and event, so coordinating this over the next few weeks could be challenging. With that in mind, it might be more practical to aim for a solid first draft by the end of the month, we keep May clear (where possible) then finalise and submit in early June.

Let me know if this approach works for everyone.

Proposed timeline:

  *   Inputs from each section lead by Thursday 30 April (section leads)
  *   First draft ready for review by Friday 8 May (compiled by Tyndall)
  *   Feedback on draft by Friday 29 May (all partners)
  *   Final draft for submission by Friday 5 June (compiled by Tyndall)

Hi Padraic,

Thanks for sending the outline for D3.2 and detailing next steps. The proposed deliverable structure works well for me.
For the training component, I can coordinate partner input and will also align with D2.1 PIXEurope Training Courses & Future Planning (which is led by us) to ensure the contribution in D3.2 is complementary to the other deliverable.

Could you please let me know by when you would like the input collected for your final review?

I?m happy to clarify any details over email, and I?m equally available for a short meeting if preferred.

Kind regards,
Liz

Subject: [Pixeurope-mct] D3.2 ? Operations, Interoperability and Training (M12) ? Structure and Next Steps

[EXTERNAL] This email was sent from outside of UCC.
Dear all,

Following our discussion at the last MCT meeting, I said I would follow up by email regarding the next steps for Deliverable D3.2, which is due in M12. The deliverable is titled ?Operations, Interoperability and Training? and is intended to provide a progress update on how PIXEurope will operate in practice, including the centralised Gateway, Open Access and operational procedures, KPI monitoring, interoperability between partners, and training and knowledge transfer to ensure that all partners are working to common procedures.

Operations is quite a broad topic, so my suggestion is that we structure the deliverable into three main sections:


  1.  Operations (with sub-sections on Gateway, Open Access, and Data Management)
  2.  Interoperability
  3.  Training

I believe we can pull quite a bit of material for this deliverable from the intermediate reports and other existing documents, but we will probably need some new content, particularly around the plans for the Gateway, as I don?t think this has been described in detail anywhere yet.

In terms of gathering the content, I was thinking we could divide responsibility roughly as follows, with one lead partner per section and specific partners supporting and contributing to those sections:


  *   Gateway: ICFO to lead, with support and input from Tyndall, TU/e and AMIRES
  *   Open Access: TU/e to lead, with support and input from ICFO, Tyndall and AMIRES
  *   Data Management: AMIRES to lead (this was my understanding from the Steering Committee discussion in Barcelona, but please correct me if I have that wrong), with support and input from ICFO, Tyndall and TU/e
  *   Interoperability: Tyndall to lead, with support and input from ICFO, TU/e and AMIRES
  *   Training: Tyndall to lead, with support and input from ICFO, TU/e and AMIRES

Tyndall would then take responsibility for pulling the full deliverable together and submitting it, based on the inputs from each section lead and supporting partners.

Could you let me know if you are happy with:


  1.  The overall structure
  2.  The proposed leads for each section, and whether specific inputs are needed from any other partners
  3.  Whether you think anything important is missing at this stage

If it would be helpful, I am happy to set up a short meeting to align on the content and responsibilities. I know everyone is busy, so it may be easier to handle this over email, but I am very happy to arrange a call if that would be useful.

Once we are aligned on this, I will draft an outline of the report from one of the recent templates and will contact the relevant section leads so that we can start gathering the material.

Thanks all.

Kind regards,
Padraic

Hi Padraic,



Thanks for sending the outline for D3.2 and detailing next steps. The proposed deliverable structure works well for me.

For the training component, I can coordinate partner input and will also align with D2.1 PIXEurope Training Courses & Future Planning (which is led by us) to ensure the contribution in D3.2 is complementary to the other deliverable.



Could you please let me know by when you would like the input collected for your final review?



I?m happy to clarify any details over email, and I?m equally available for a short meeting if preferred.



Kind regards,

Liz

Subject: [Pixeurope-mct] D3.2 ? Operations, Interoperability and Training (M12) ? Structure and Next Steps



[EXTERNAL] This email was sent from outside of UCC.

Dear all,



Following our discussion at the last MCT meeting, I said I would follow up by email regarding the next steps for Deliverable D3.2, which is due in M12. The deliverable is titled ?Operations, Interoperability and Training? and is intended to provide a progress update on how PIXEurope will operate in practice, including the centralised Gateway, Open Access and operational procedures, KPI monitoring, interoperability between partners, and training and knowledge transfer to ensure that all partners are working to common procedures.



Operations is quite a broad topic, so my suggestion is that we structure the deliverable into three main sections:



  1.  Operations (with sub-sections on Gateway, Open Access, and Data Management)
  2.  Interoperability
  3.  Training



I believe we can pull quite a bit of material for this deliverable from the intermediate reports and other existing documents, but we will probably need some new content, particularly around the plans for the Gateway, as I don?t think this has been described in detail anywhere yet.



In terms of gathering the content, I was thinking we could divide responsibility roughly as follows, with one lead partner per section and specific partners supporting and contributing to those sections:



  *   Gateway: ICFO to lead, with support and input from Tyndall, TU/e and AMIRES
  *   Open Access: TU/e to lead, with support and input from ICFO, Tyndall and AMIRES
  *   Data Management: AMIRES to lead (this was my understanding from the Steering Committee discussion in Barcelona, but please correct me if I have that wrong), with support and input from ICFO, Tyndall and TU/e
  *   Interoperability: Tyndall to lead, with support and input from ICFO, TU/e and AMIRES
  *   Training: Tyndall to lead, with support and input from ICFO, TU/e and AMIRES



Tyndall would then take responsibility for pulling the full deliverable together and submitting it, based on the inputs from each section lead and supporting partners.



Could you let me know if you are happy with:



  1.  The overall structure
  2.  The proposed leads for each section, and whether specific inputs are needed from any other partners
  3.  Whether you think anything important is missing at this stage



If it would be helpful, I am happy to set up a short meeting to align on the content and responsibilities. I know everyone is busy, so it may be easier to handle this over email, but I am very happy to arrange a call if that would be useful.



Once we are aligned on this, I will draft an outline of the report from one of the recent templates and will contact the relevant section leads so that we can start gathering the material.



Thanks all.



Kind regards,

Padraic

Hello Padraic, Valerio,

Yes, in general there is no problem if the deliverable is submitted a few weeks late. What I can confirm, however, is that it must be submitted before the end of the reporting period, i.e. before 31 July, as otherwise we will not be able to upload the report.

I will also discuss this situation with the PO so that he is aware of it.

Best regards,
Ana

Hi all,



I was thinking a bit more about the D3.2 timeline and wondering whether it might make more sense to pause work on the deliverable until after the GA and Ecosystem event.



Given how busy everyone is with preparations at the moment, it may be difficult to coordinate inputs and reviews in parallel, and we would probably benefit from incorporating discussions from the GA into the deliverable anyway.



What do you think?



@Valerio/Ana, if we were to submit at the end of June, would that still be OK from a ChipJU perspective?



Thanks all and have a good weekend.



Kind regards,

Padraic

Hi Liz, all,



Thanks for the feedback.



I?m conscious that everyone?s schedules may be tight in the run-up to the PIXEurope GA and event, so coordinating this over the next few weeks could be challenging. With that in mind, it might be more practical to aim for a solid first draft by the end of the month, we keep May clear (where possible) then finalise and submit in early June.



Let me know if this approach works for everyone.



Proposed timeline:

  *   Inputs from each section lead by Thursday 30 April (section leads)
  *   First draft ready for review by Friday 8 May (compiled by Tyndall)
  *   Feedback on draft by Friday 29 May (all partners)
  *   Final draft for submission by Friday 5 June (compiled by Tyndall)



Also, I have placed a template for the deliverable on the SharePoint.

  3.  Training



I believe we can pull quite a bit of material for this deliverable from the intermediate reports and other existing documents, but we will probably need some new content, particularly around the plans for the Gateway, as I don?t think this has been described in detail anywhere yet.



In terms of gathering the content, I was thinking we could divide responsibility roughly as follows, with one lead partner per section and specific partners supporting and contributing to those sections:



  *   Gateway: ICFO to lead, with support and input from Tyndall, TU/e and AMIRES
  *   Open Access: TU/e to lead, with support and input from ICFO, Tyndall and AMIRES
  *   Data Management: AMIRES to lead (this was my understanding from the Steering Committee discussion in Barcelona, but please correct me if I have that wrong), with support and input from ICFO, Tyndall and TU/e
  *   Interoperability: Tyndall to lead, with support and input from ICFO, TU/e and AMIRES
  *   Training: Tyndall to lead, with support and input from ICFO, TU/e and AMIRES



Tyndall would then take responsibility for pulling the full deliverable together and submitting it, based on the inputs from each section lead and supporting partners.



Could you let me know if you are happy with:



  1.  The overall structure
  2.  The proposed leads for each section, and whether specific inputs are needed from any other partners
  3.  Whether you think anything important is missing at this stage



If it would be helpful, I am happy to set up a short meeting to align on the content and responsibilities. I know everyone is busy, so it may be easier to handle this over email, but I am very happy to arrange a call if that would be useful.



Once we are aligned on this, I will draft an outline of the report from one of the recent templates and will contact the relevant section leads so that we can start gathering the material.



Thanks all.



Kind regards,

Padraic

Dear all,

Please find the agenda for the upcoming in-person meeting on 19 May in this folder ?[https://res.public.onecdn.static.microsoft/assets/fluentui-resources/1.1.0/app-min/assets/item-types/24_1.5x/folder.png]BARCELONA 12052026<https://icfo.sharepoint.com/:f:/r/sites/PIXEurope/Shared%20Documents/MCT/02.%20Meetings/BARCELONA%2012052026?csf=1&web=1&e=1TGhHN>?
Feel free to upload any materials for the meeting to this folder.

The agenda is a bit different than usual, as we are prioritising discussion and identification of crucial points that need to be addressed as a team. I would appreciate if you could read through it carefully and come prepared.

There's also some time to reflect on the first year of the PL and plan the months ahead.

If you have any questions or feedback on the agenda, I'm happy to have a chat whenever needed.

Please note that Torre Gl?ries has restricted access. Head to the main reception and we will be waiting for you downstairs. If you can't find us, just give your name and they will let you in to waint on the ground floor until someone from ICFO arrives.

Looking forward to seeing you all in Barcelona next week.

Best regards,
Marina

Subject: MCT in person meeting 19 May - Torre Gl?ries

Dear MCT,

I wanted to follow up on the discussion during the last meeting regarding the agenda for the in-person meeting on 19 May.

Following internal discussions with Valerio, we propose structuring the meeting around two main areas:


  1.
Alignment ahead of the GA and PIXeurope Connect (e.g. Open Access Services, Gateway, Collaboration Agreement, IP and cost models...)

  2.
Critical points affecting Pilot Line operations moving forward

As mentioned before, I would like us shape the agenda collaboratively to make the meeting as productive as possible. For this reason, rather than circulating a draft agenda at this stage, I would appreciate everyone's inputs on the points below:


  *
Main challenges in your area of management or affecting the Pilot Line as a whole so far
  *
Critical points affecting operations, or which may affect them in the future
  *
Information you would like to share with the wider team (and how long you will need)
  *
Information you would like to obtain from other managers
  *
Any additional issues you believe we should discuss as a team

There is no need to respond to every point, but I would appreciate some input from everyone. Once we gather these contributions, Ana and I will structure the agenda accordingly and circulate it.

On a different - but critical - note, we have booked a restaurant for dinner after the meeting (L?Olivera<https://barolivera.com/> restaurant, Calle de los Escultores Claper?s 39, 08018, Barcelona<https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=cf33b23b3bae459661a105ae00756f4d5eaa9a81809d4250cc6bfe2c72aff82cJmltdHM9MTc3ODAyNTYwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=27054b74-c5c0-6ce5-3a64-5ee5c4b76dbb&u=a1L21hcHM_Jm1lcGk9NTZ-fkVtYmVkZGVkfkFkZHJlc3NfTGluayZ0eT0xOCZxPUwlMjdPbGl2ZXJhJnNzPXlwaWQuWU44RjA3MUU0NDNBM0VFODk2JnBwb2lzPTQxLjQwNTgwMzY4MDQxOTkyXzIuMTg5MzQ4MjIwODI1MTk1M19MJTI3T2xpdmVyYV9ZTjhGMDcxRTQ0M0EzRUU4OTZ-JmNwPTQxLjQwNTgwNH4yLjE4OTM0OCZ2PTImc1Y9MSZGT1JNPU1QU1JQTA&ntb=1>, 8pm) and need you to pick your main course and dessert:  MCT Social dinner - 19 May, 2026 ? Fill out form<https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/Tm9A12vPSQ>
Apologies for the lengthy email.

We are looking forward to welcoming you again in Barcelona.

Best wishes,
Marina
