2 Outline ILIAS-Next Draft THNet outline Example draft for a physics based network : dark matter, Neil Spooner Important points: Limit number of contractors to very few (<10); other entities can be more. Justify any postdoc requests with infrastructure needs, rather than training as in an RTN; avoid overlap with RTNs. Which part of theory goes into physics based networks, which part goes into theory umbrella network? Deliverables more concrete than minutes of the meetings. Not too many new meetings, rather support young people to go to existing meetings? Coordinate with the multi-messenger network (talks going on

10 Rough Financial Estimates: (2 x 60 keuro + 1 x 30 keuro)/ year x 5 years (say) = 750 keuro 1 postdoc / year >~ 50 keuros 5 postdocs for 2 years >~ 500 keuros Gives about 1.25 Meuro.
