ecent progress in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) has been mainly driven by specific needs in the research areas of biological and materials science. Since the first funding period, the priority program has been bringing together German research groups from these two different fields in a coordinated effort to expand the frontiers of EPR spectroscopy in biology, chemistry, materials science and physics. The creation of a scientific network has been crucial to provide a platform of scientific exchange and collaboration, in which new ideas have been emerging through cross-fertilization of expertise in different areas. The objectives of the coordinator, the applicant of this proposal, have been consisting mainly of three different tasks, which are first summarized here and will be outlined in more details in the following sections:· organizing a yearly meeting of the network· creating synergy at an international level with other initiatives· advising the participants and encouraging suitable networking, avoiding possible conflicts of interestand supporting young researchers and female scientists.To meet these objectives, the coordinator has been assisted by the other members of the initiator team of the program, who together constituted a formal executive board and provided an internal panel, through which important decisions could be discussed and voted. The board met at every annual meeting of the network in a closed session.The coordinator established a second platform for strategic planning, i.e. the general assembly of all members of the priority program (PIs and their scientific co-workers). The assembly has been taking place at each annual meeting and was open to all participants, including members of the reviewer panel and DFG representatives, to encourage exchange of opinions and get advice. It served to report on network activities such as the Young Investigator Workshops (organized and attended only by students and postdocs) to discuss exchange with other initiatives (for instance the US initiative), to announce upcoming conferencesand schools as well as to vote for the location of subsequent meetings.Finally, the administration-related duties of the coordinator have been substantially alleviated by the employment of a non-scientific member of the program, who has been taking care of the logistical and financial planning of all workshops and has also designed a web portal (www.spp1601.de) containing most information of the scientific activities of the network.For the upcoming funding period, the coordinator plans to continue the on-going activities, however as an important new feature, substantial efforts will be devoted in establishing a synergy with the new US network, SHARED EPR, which emerged from a common initiative of DFG and NSF representatives, strongly supported by the coordinator and the executive board.

电子顺磁共振（EPR）最近的进展主要是由生物和材料科学研究领域的特定需求驱动的。自第一个资助期以来，该优先计划一直将这两个不同领域的德国研究小组聚集在一起，共同努力扩大EPR光谱学在生物学，化学，材料科学和物理学中的前沿。科学网络的建立对于提供科学交流与合作的平台至关重要，在这个平台上，通过不同领域的专门知识相互交流，不断出现新的想法。协调员是本建议的申请人，其目标主要包括三项不同的任务，在此首先概述，并将在以下各节中更详细地概述：·组织该网络的年度会议·在国际一级与其他倡议建立协同作用·为参与者提供咨询意见并鼓励适当的联网，避免可能的利益冲突并支持年轻研究人员和女科学家。他们共同组成了一个正式的执行委员会，并提供了一个内部小组，通过该小组可以讨论和表决重要的决定。协调员建立了战略规划的第二个平台，即优先计划所有成员（PI及其科学合作者）的大会。大会一直在每届年会上举行，并向所有与会者开放，包括审查小组成员和DFG代表，以鼓励交换意见和征求意见。该网站还报告了青年调查员讲习班等网络活动（仅由学生和博士后组织和参加）讨论与其他倡议的交流（例如美国的倡议），宣布即将举行的会议和学校，以及投票决定随后会议的地点。最后，由于雇用了一名非科学人员，协调员的行政职责大大减轻，他负责所有研讨会的后勤和财务规划，还设计了一个门户网站（www.spp1601.de），其中包含该网络科学活动的大部分信息。将投入大量的努力与新的美国网络SHARED EPR建立协同作用，SHARED EPR是DFG和NSF代表的共同倡议，得到协调员和执行委员会的大力支持。
