  - Eija moved to VTT, asked to step down. Otherwise old board continues. 

  - Erik Brücken was selected as new member

4. Activity of the division 2022-2023
 - researchers night, both in Helsinki and Jyväskylä
 - participation to physics days in Tampere (talks/posters)

7. RECFA and PECFA representative report
 - Kati Lassila-Perini gave rapport via Zoom
 - check who controls the PP-findiv list, use that for communication. Add ppday participants automatically. 
 - Kati’s term ended in RECFA, Panja Luukka elected next representative
 - Mikko Voutilainen gave few words from PECFA; discussions around FCC and muon collider; FCC plans coming more concrete
 - Mikko’s term in PECFA ends, Henning elected next representative

8. ECFA ECR representatives report: 
 - Henning brought news from early career researchers (ERC)
 - ERC September meeting was successful, large participation
 - Henning steps down, Mikael Myllymäki suggested as next representative  Confirm availability

9. AOB
 - the call for new PECFA, RECFA, ECFA ECR members should be advertised via email in advance
 - interested persons should contact any of the board members to express interest
 - board finds a candidate before the meeting
 - in future, pay attention to division meeting agenda; announce selections also there 
 - Next year a new representative for PECFA will be selected, as Tuomas Lappi’s term will end
 - Open position for beamline for schools CERN competition. Ask Kenneth Österberg for details.
