The talk will include several topics some of which I will present on behalf of colleagues 1) Jakub Vinklárek - INDEX simulaitons of SPI into W accummulation/hollow Te profile 2) WEST multispectral camera SOFT simulations (collaboration with E. Gauthier) 3) Activities in magnetic dignostics disruption analysis on COMPASS (collaboration with N. Isernia) and maybe also some other topics (sorry for this fortmat, TFLs are interested in progress-reporting on these)
