Dear Boud,
this network is for the moment rather formal, not much money in it. However, this is an element of a broader EU science politics. As I understand, the standard programs EU do not support efficiently the basic science, so people from basic science are now trying to create alternative bodies which in the feature will allow for an independent cash flow for basic research in physics and astronomy. So in a year or two, it may be important. There are already formulated frames for such activity, and they are supposed to consist of country networks, joined into a single ogranization at the global EU level.
Thanks for the explanation. It sounds reasonable to me. :)
