1.3: 1st Agenda and minutes of yearly General Assembly
The first BrightnESS General Assembly (GA) meeting was held on 7th October 2016 in Lund, Sweden. As the Assembly is responsible for monitoring the project implementation and determining the strategy anddirection of the project, the meeting represented an important opportunity for taking stock of the technical progress made during the first year of BrightnESS, discussing risks and problems encountered, checking progress versus cost expenditure and aligning on the activities for the next 12 months.
In total, 16 partner institutes were represented at the meeting. The day before the official GA-meeting, the Representatives were invited to visit the ESS construction site visit outside Lund, followed by an informal networking dinner. At the GA meeting the participants were welcomed by Allen Weeks, the ESS Head of Communications, External Relations and IKC Management, who started the meeting with an overview of the ESS construction status. In the following session, Roy Pennings and Raquel Costa, the Project Coordinator and the Project Manager respectively, provided an overall update of the technical and financial project status of BrightnESS (WP1) as well as information on the upcoming reporting process to the European Commission.
