Minutes of the Second Workshop of the Thematic Network for Ultraviolet Measurements Time and place: Braunschweig, Germany, November 9-11, 1998 Attendants: List of attendants is enclosed in Annex 1 1. GeneralThe Thematic Network for Ultraviolet Measurements arranged its second workshop in Braunschweig, Germany, on November 9-11, 1998. The first two days were dedicated for working group meetings and scientific presentations. On the third day, excursions to various laboratories of PTB were arranged. The number of participants of the workshop was 88. 2. Presentations13 oral presentations were given in the workshop. The topics were selected so that each of the four working groups selected three presentations. Neil Harrison was invited to present the new EU project "Improving the accuracy of ultraviolet radiation measurement." In addition, 13 posters were presented. The titles and author of the presentations are listed in Annex 2. 3. Working group meetingsThe four working groups had their first meetings on November 9. Later the same day, the leaders of the working groups presented the progress of their groups. Annual reports of the working groups may be found in the Annual Report of the Network. 4. Consortium board meetingA draft of a consortium agreement was sent to the participants before the workshop. This draft agreement included a consortium board meeting to be arranged during each workshop The first tentative consortium board meeting was arranged on November 9, 1998, from 13:45 to 14:03. (Several participants expressed that they cannot sign the consortium agreement without having their lawyers read it first, which would result in significant expenses. The co-ordinator therefore decided that the consortium agreement will not be signed, which was announced to all participants immediately after the workshop) 4.1 Minutes of the 1. workshopMinutes of the 1. workshop were accepted. 4.2 PublicationsIt was agreed that HUT may present operations of the Network at the NEWRAD'99 conference. 4.3 Any other businessRules for accepting new participants were discussed. Generally, new participants will be selected from countries where there are few or no participants at all. LNE (France) was accepted as a participant. Savings in the budget may be used to cover occasionally the participation costs of other invited guests. It was agreed that the national contact persons will get extra copies of UVNEWS to be distributed in their countries. Participants of the 2nd workshop will automatically receive UVNEWS in the future. 5. Training courses and the next workshopThe dates for the next workshop and the training course at NPL were fixed as follows: |

The reason for combining the training course with the workshop is financial savings, because most of the lecturers of the training course also participate in the workshop. It was discussed that the other training course should be arranged in the continental Europe, maybe in Germany or Austria, to attract participants from central Europe.
