CLARIS Consortium
Due to administrative reasons, University of Sao Paulo has been retrieved from the CLARIS project
A new version of the consortium agreement without USP has been sent to the partners
A new Description of Work (DoW) is now available on the CLARIS web site
Two institutes have asked to integrate the CLARIS project: INTA (Instituto Nacional de Tecnicas Agropecuarias, Argentina)-WP4.1-Unanimous agreement FUNCEME (Fundaçao Cearense de Meteorlogia e Recursos hidricos, Brazil)-WP4.2, WP3.2-Vote postponed to Saturday morning during the Consortium meeting
CLARIS Budget
EC funds sent to CNRS received at CNRS in December
CNRS transferred funds in March
Level of expenses at June, 30th = less than 50%
Financial reports must be sent to CNRS by 11th of July
Both the late transfer of funds and the organization of the meeting in July (2nd year)
explain the low rate of use of funds (50%), it is asked to the EC not to reduce the 2nd year
CLARIS budget. Such a reduction would compromise the ability of the project partners to
catch up with CLARIS initial calendar.
Georgios Amanatidis suggested that when we reach the 70% level, we inform the EC in
order to initiate the the transfer of 2nd funding. Such a level may be reached in late July (after
the present meeting).

Comments
Web site • I have not visited the web site
Newsletter • No Neswletter has been published yet • I think that the newsletter may be a little bit too long and
too "technical" to really increase CLARIS visibility. • It is too soon to really assess if it could be useful for my
own activities in the project, however, it might not be the prior objective of the newsletter
Data server • I did not have to use it yet • DODS is useful to my activities. I am working with IOCC
data
