Pilar García –University of A Coruña- does not attend the Meeting, but Concha Bru informs about her work carried out to look for and localise international calls about which the partners have been informed. She also insists on the need of informing the University of A Coruña, when it is required, about the research projects in which every Programme takes part in, so that the web is in this sense updated.

The task of elaborating a document was assigned to the University of Lleida and the University Jaume I.

After incorporating the suggestions contributed there, they elaborated a second draft to be debated in the Meeting.
A turn of information and debate about some points is open.
Agreement: Presidency and Secretarat will incorporate the suggestions and will send the draft via e-mail to the partners, who, within the term of A WEEK, will send back suggestions and proposals. After their study, they will proceed to incorporate them, if applicable, and the Award Bases will be approved by the Permanent Commission.
6. XIII National Meeting of University Programmes for Older Adults. University of Valencia, June 2013.
Cristina Civera informs about the economic issues the Congress arrangement has been through. The Programme has turned out to be intense, and it has developed around three working axes, although the number of attendees and Communications presented has diminished in comparison to what was planned.
Despite everything, she manifests her satisfaction for having arranged the Meeting.
7.- Participation of the AEPUM representative in the V PUMA Meeting 2013, La Habana (Cuba)
Concha Bru informs about issues regarding the celebration of the Meeting, and about the fact that Isabel Miró –University Rovira i Virgili-, who will attend the previous meeting set in Mexico, will be also representing the AEPUM. Besides, Concha Bru names the other universities that intend to attend the Meeting in La Habana: Illes Baleares, Castilla La Mancha, Extremadura and Valladolid.
8. Management issues.
* Concha Bru reports the offer made by Matilde Pelegrí, General Manager of the Group ‘Communication Path’, about the Mapfre campaign ‘With Greater Care’ she is going to manage and that they would like to develop within the PUMs frame, applying thus for our collaboration. For that reason, they inform about the managements accomplished in relation to it, and about the proposals carried out from the AEPUM with that purpose, being now waiting for an answer on the part of Mapfre.
*Xavier Lorente informs about the proposal received from the UDP and financed by Vodafone to take part in the ‘Time Detectives’ Project. He states that other universities have received the same offer and have already accepted to participate.
Various options have been considered about the most adequate manner of acting when receiving this kind of offers, and the issue is analysed, leading to the following agreement.
Agreement: When each university receives an invitation to participate in any initiative or project of broad projection, and it may be of interest to other programmes, the AEPUM shall be informed.
In case of being the AEPUM the receiver, it will inform the universities, and a term will be open so that the programmes, universities or researchers interested in taking part in those promotion or training calls, initiatives or projects can contact the entity arranging the invitation or proposal. In any case, it will be given information about the condition and terms to participate through the AEPUM portal..
* Adoración Holgado informs that the Work Seminar will take place in Salamanca, in October, and she encourages the attendees to participate.
9. Motions and queries.
- Concha Bru requests
* That the persons incorporating the Meeting should introduce themselves.
* She asks for the partners’ collaboration in case they have a contact in the Ministry or in any other institution that could speed up the paperwork.
- Carmen Palmero, requests
