[NCUC-EC] List of Travel Support Applications

Fri Oct 21 08:57:33 CEST 2016

Hi all

Well I guess since we have two applicants and two travel slots both can get
get the travel slots.

However we really need to give them concrete tasks.  I think we supported
James for Morocco so I wanna know what he has been doing since and also I
think Raoul should report on the progress of the groups he is involved
with.

Best

Farzaneh
