<p>Funding for IPPOG</p>

<p>Resuming discussion from last meeting.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Summary: so far, IPPOG fee has come from LHCK, but this will not be possible in 2021. Prioritizing this over money for delegates to IUPAP/ECFA (also because conferences are online this year)</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Points discussed and follow ups:</p>

<ul>
	<li>
	<p>Need to follow up on status of VR report (Matthias Hamberg) - could highlight return of investment in big facilities like CERN through education.</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>Waiting to contact Kristina Careborg for the possibility of opening up a new line of funding (in competition) for outreach activities that are not covered by universities or individual experiments&nbsp;</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>Caterina talked briefly with Teresa Montaruli (APPEC) about the possibility of ECFA/APPEC/(NuPECC) helping us with a statement supporting, but it should not be specific to Sweden.&nbsp;</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>David Marsh talked to Gianfranco Bertone, and there is support in signing something from EuCAPT too.</p>
	</li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Accessibility funding (e.g. captioning) for future conferences was also discussed given the discussions happening around LHCP 2020. The difficulty of organizing something for Swedish conferences was brought up since in Sweden it’s the employer’s responsibility to make arrangements in this sense (this means that delegates whose employers don’t have the same responsibility will not be covered).</p>

<p>Plans for Partikeldagarna</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Elin &amp; Erin as main organizers.</p>

<p>Room details may not be available until closer to the date, and it may be that we don’t have the same room for the whole day.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Started investigating invited speakers (they also cost money for travel + hotel), list of names being shared within the Board, will come back to this next month.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Spaatind 2022</p>

<p>No volunteers for being “main person responsible” → one of us will have to take this responsibility.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the next Board meeting, we will invite past organizers (Johan Rathsman and Richard Brenner)</p>

<p>Text for Overall SFS website</p>

<p>We are asked to write a short text (5-10 sentences) to be published on the SFS website.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Caterina will draft 5-10 sentences on our section’s “remote work habits” during quarantine, distributed computing and the CERN response to COVID (inspired by a Lund department seminar by David South, ATLAS). Elin will translate it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Opening up Zoom seminars</p>

<p>Will keep happening until the summer (4 newsletters sent so far).</p>
