Let´s Inspire People
The plenary meeting of December 21st 2020 was open to all LIP members.
Slides presented at the meeting (containing in particular information on the following topics: results of recent funding calls; the new organization of LIP’s indico; informations from ECFA; Student publications and theses on Advanced Training webpage; research line strategy definition; researchers’ evaluation procedure revision; and more…)
A new WordPress infrastructure is being prepared for the LIP webpages, which is able to host group/project public pages fully autonomously managed by the owners. For the groups that already had such pages, the information will be migrated to the new system. If you are interested please contact webapps@lip.pt.
All LIP groups have an institutional wepage with the same format and contents within the “Research” menu. Additionally, some groups have a custom-made webpage, which can be accessed from the institutional page clicking the “Group webpage at LIP” button (check for example ATLAS or CMS in the LHC experiments and phenomenology research line; Auger in the Cosmic Rays research line or Space Rad in the Space Applications research line).
It has been a long-standing request of the groups owning such pages that they could take full control of them, being able to autonomously perform any kind of changes and updates. This issue is finally solved.
Again, If you are interested please contact webapps@lip.pt.
It’s time to prepare LIP’s detailed and public 2020 report and plan for 2021. During January the information must be put into the LIP DB by the Group PIs. Here you can find further details on the timeline, procedure, and what are the main changes this year.
The subject was presented at the December 2020 plenary meeting of the Scientific Council (SC). The slides linked below include this year’s timeline, organization and procedures (both a summary for newcomers and highlights of the main changes) and a set of recommendations from LIP’s Advisory Board.
The conclusion of the process is expected (very) early in 2021. By January 9th LIP must submit the written replies to the few clarification requests received from the panel after the public presentation of December 10th. For the approved LAs, there will still be a funding negotiation with FCT. Here you can find details on LIP’s application and on the timeline of the call:
