| | 13 | We reviewed the contraints and priorities for the programme going forward. We discussed options for the definition of teh resources for the bridging funding, consiering a variety of unpleasant options in which significant parts of the programme were significantly delayed. |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | The refresh of the discussion came when it was observed that interpretting the constraint as being the definition of a "bridging period" with resource at the level of £1M/year over three years would bring the required funding in line with the possible budget. |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | We therefore agreed to prepare a revised programme to meet the following criterial: |
| | 18 | - 3-year bridging activity at £1M/year to deliver "pre-TDR"; |
| | 19 | - Prioritise proof-of-principle experiment and Stage 1 risk management; |
| | 20 | - Programme would preserve investment in Gabor Lens and FFA development with a profile to be determined; |
| | 21 | - 3-year programme would include studentships justified on the basis of training the scientists required to take the programme forward. |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | We agreed to ask for PB to develop further options and return to the discussion at teh next EB in 2 weeks. |
