This paper enr-cipares that the R&D activities a:
Southampton wil- be
restructured suc? that all Group Fundamental
Reseazch (together wi= a
reduced technical support progra=e for RATCo) is
conducted at t~:is
location. Much of the explarator-y and applied
research will be
transferred out or terminated.
The proposed Group Fundamental Researc~-,
Prograrme covers the following
(topics i to vi are on-going aLnd were agreed at
the 1989 Ran conference
and tomics vii to x &re recommended as a result of
restr-acturing):

(x) To Investigate the science of stabilised foam
str.:ctures as a basis for
f-zzure extrusion technoloqy.
Scientists 1, Technic-;&ns 2 Cost: 0.2
Total (-undamenta-1): 56 - Scientists 26,
Tec'nnicians 30, Cost E3.98 mn.
Thus, the total cost including work on project
Greendot 11 and III is
estimated to be E3.98 mn. for ar. effort
equivalent to 56 man-years. If
the proposed restructuring is not implemented this
cost would reduce to
E3.11 mn. for a total effort of 41 man-yea-rs.
on the basis of allocation of costs to CAC
companies agreed previously
(and incorporating the previous contribution by
Amatil into the BATCz
element) the individual costs for CACs in 1990
would be (1989 f-'g=es
agreed at the March meeting of TSRT are shown in
brackets):
BATCz 32% x E3.98 - E1.27 (El.!!)
B &W 30% x = E1.19 (El.04)
19% x = E0.76 (E0.66)
BATC7 19% x = EO.76 (E0.66)

previously been agreed at this
meeting. The proposed SRG budce~ for 1990 is
E344,000 (cf E330,00C
1989). In tlh_~s case the ccs-,s are nozz=ally
shared on an equal
contributions basis by the CACs. In view of the
red-.:c-:-'on of contzi-lutors
~o fouz, the proposed SRG for eaz:,% CAC country
is EB6,00C (of
E66,000 in 1989).
