Items

Point 1: Visit for inspection of the P1 laboratory

(Rachel, 1 min)
After almost a year with an 'official' P1 lab, and a date set for a 4 september inspection by those mandated for this by officials in Bern, all this new problematic of the association Inartis has put everything in question... We will have to see, what we see...

to note: J brought up the ventilation of the fume hood question, again, now !! what a screw up (itho of RA)...

Point 2: Update on the relationship with Inartis

(Rachel and others, 20min)

We have received only one proposition from Juliette, for Inartis.
No extended space with others like Octanis was proposed, and indeed the same basic 'contract' was offered as the week before.
In concrete terms, a rent of 2300chf per month for the '60m2' of Hackuarium is proposed.
This comes to about 460chf/m2 (or more!) for the space.
One has to wonder what they really want with this proposition.
Certainly the idea that they want to 'support the development' of our association is placed in doubt.
The acknowledgement of the benefit from our presence in the 'atelier ecosystem' is clear, however. To discuss new propositions, and see if negotiations are possible.

Point 3: Flights to Shenzhen, China for GOSH2018 are booked and funded!

RA and SS will be away between 4oct-14oct to participate in this great transdisciplinary meeting about open science hardware.
