The Secretary reviewed the task list for the research program. He then presented the project plan developed on the basis of the offers by the research institutes and the decision taken at the 5th meeting that all three institutes should be involved in the research program. The proposal is as follows:

● TU Vienna will cover tasks 1 and 2; budget by OICA
● TU Graz will cover tasks 4 and 5; budget by EU COM
● Chalmers will cover task 3 and contribute to tasks 1, 4 and 5; budget shared between OICA, Sweden and Swedish Hybrid Center (SHC)
● TRL will coordinate the program

After discussion of the institutes’ presentations in section 5.3, the group approved the proposed project plan and research program.

Currently, the work program is slightly behind schedule w/o jeopardizing the approved roadmap. It was therefore agreed to not change the roadmap.
