2. Completion of the experimental report
An experimental report is mandatory for a funded experiment and must be provided by the latest at the end of the calendar year of the funded experiment or in case of a continuation proposal together with the new proposal.
Experimental reports should solely be submitted via ‘DUO’ in the following way:
1) Login to DUO: https://duo.psi.ch
2) Within the box 'proposals' please follow the link: 'Experimental reports'
3) You receive a list of your proposals with an indication, which proposals have received EU funding
4) Select the funded proposal(s) and please fill in the report(s) for those. Save your action by one of the 'save' buttons at the bottom of the webpage. For SINQ and SµS pdf- files must be uploaded. Templates can be downloaded during the submission procedure.
Please note: for the NMI3 annual reports the “abstract” of the uploaded experimental reports will be used as description for the experimental achievements. The full report will be stored in DUO and can be made available on the SINQ/SµS webpages and is also transmitted to the proposal review committees for the evaluation of future proposals.
3. User group questionnaire
After the experiment, you are required to complete an EU NMI3 satisfaction report. This can be found online at: http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/capacities/questionnaire_en.html. Please use ‘NMI3 226507’ as EC contract number and the following syntax for the user project acronym:
SINQ/SµS_proposal number, e.g. SINQ/SµS_20060453.
