    4444=== Establishment of Science Board (TG, YP) ===
    4545As foreseen in the MoU, Science Board, led by two Project Scientists, will steer LhARA's science programme. E.g. it will be the body responsible for issuing calls for proposals for the use of the LhARA facility and setting up peer review to determine how LhARA time is apportioned.

     72Amato Giacca reminded us to thick about year 3 of the LhARA programme and beyond and the next funding round. Questions of interest include:
    7373Where should the LhARA prototype be developed? Would people's institutions be interested in hosting LhARA and what support could they provide?
    7474What associated facilities are needed (e.g. an animal house, laser Lab.)?
