If landing in Paris, use train reservation : http://www.tgv-europe.com/en/

• landing in Paris: 2 airports =  CDG ( Charles De Gaulle) or ORY (Orly)

=> If you land in CDG, you might take a TGV ( Train) directly in the airport ( depending on your arrival schedule) to LORRAINE station (almots 1H20)
=>  If  you land in ORLY, you have to go to Paris East Station ( "Gare de l'Est) and the take the TGV to Metz
Prefer to land in CDG, because TGV train station is in the airport. When landing to ORLY, you still have to take local train to Paris "east station – gare de l'EST which means 1H30 more

• Landing in Luxembourg: Findel Airport is 60 km away from Metz

Then taking bus to Luxembourg center and then train to Metz

• Landing in Frankfurt Hahn

It is Ryan Air hub: cheap but 2,5 hours with the bus to Metz
François home is 40 km away from Luxembourg. So if you plan to land on 25th in the afternoon in Luxembourg Findel, he may pick 4 persons and take you to Metz Hotel.
 
 Where to sleep in METZ?

• Due to your asking, we have pre booked 8 single rooms in Metz CECIL HOTEL
• Fair price is 62€/night + 8€/breakfast.
• Remember that room booking is based on first mail to Francois/first served

Explanations on new budget sent by CREATOR comittee

here is the new budget given by CREATOR steering comittee.

2 mains modifications are:

• Häme and Asturias have to decrease original budget (4.000 € by region)
• A main part (48.000 €) of lead particpant external expenses have to be  shared between 6 regions  ==> which means 8.000 € for each region)

Here is the new budget

BIOLIFE formal approval and budget changes

Here is official mail coming from CREATOR lead partner. You may dowload it here

 

Our new budget is:

A- It means an increase of 8.000 € for each region ( = 6 X 8.000 € ) and a decrease for AGRIA (-48.000 €)

This is only a cost shared increase! It means that AGRIA will engage 48.000 € external expenses, will pay them, but they will not appear on its budget but will be divided between the other partners.
Each partner will not have to send money to AGRIA, thanks to the fact that AGRIA will take it when receiving global incoming money corresponding to  periodic expenses claim.

 

B- Then CREATOR has decided to decrease 8.000 € budget for 2 regions:

Asturias = - 4.000 € ( - 2.000€ for CEEI and - 2.000€ for PRODINTEC)
Hame =      -4.000 € for HAMK
here it means real budget decreasing. Just let us know, Paula, Cristina and Päivi  which cost do you wish to decrease

 

Florence and François will prepare new sheets

BIOLIFE wins

Here it is ! CREATOR steering comittee chose BIOLIFE at its november meeting in Vasterbotten. Our bid has been accepted.

It seems that our project has been very well quoted dur to the excellent job doine by each of us!
Congratulations to the whole team.........

I am very excited to see you again and soon at our kick off meeting which will be held in january in Lorraine.

François
