[Pixeurope-sc] PIXEurope - SC monthly meeting

[CARLOS DOMINGUEZ HORNA]

Dear colleagues,
As Valerio mentioned, I will briefly comment on the progress of WP3-HE  
since our last meeting.

WP3-HE:
On 10 September, we held our monthly meeting, during which we reported  
on the latest actions taken. We reviewed the status of the agreements  
with the JP and briefly discussed the WP's tasks. The main topic of  
discussion was how to develop the equipment database and what data to  
include in it. A draft was sent to the members for their assessment  
and further discussion.

Jos van den Broek, from TNO, who has been deputy head of WP3-HE until  
now, will be replaced by Wouter Rensen, who has been hired as head of  
PIXEurope activities at TNO. I would like to thank Jos for his  
kindness and help during these early complex times for PIXEurope, to  
which he has contributed with his excellent work. I would also like to  
take this opportunity to welcome Wouter to both WP3-HE and this  
committee.

Best regards,
Carlos
