[Pixeurope-mct] D3.2 – Operations, Interoperability and Training (M12) – Structure and Next Steps

[Elisabeth Wintersteller]

Hi Padraic,

Thanks for sending the outline for D3.2 and detailing next steps. The proposed deliverable structure works well for me.
For the training component, I can coordinate partner input and will also align with D2.1 PIXEurope Training Courses & Future Planning (which is led by us) to ensure the contribution in D3.2 is complementary to the other deliverable.

Could you please let me know by when you would like the input collected for your final review?

I’m happy to clarify any details over email, and I’m equally available for a short meeting if preferred.

Kind regards,
Liz

[EXTERNAL] This email was sent from outside of UCC.
Dear all,

Following our discussion at the last MCT meeting, I said I would follow up by email regarding the next steps for Deliverable D3.2, which is due in M12. The deliverable is titled “Operations, Interoperability and Training” and is intended to provide a progress update on how PIXEurope will operate in practice, including the centralised Gateway, Open Access and operational procedures, KPI monitoring, interoperability between partners, and training and knowledge transfer to ensure that all partners are working to common procedures.

Operations is quite a broad topic, so my suggestion is that we structure the deliverable into three main sections:


  1.  Operations (with sub-sections on Gateway, Open Access, and Data Management)
  2.  Interoperability
  3.  Training

I believe we can pull quite a bit of material for this deliverable from the intermediate reports and other existing documents, but we will probably need some new content, particularly around the plans for the Gateway, as I don’t think this has been described in detail anywhere yet.

In terms of gathering the content, I was thinking we could divide responsibility roughly as follows, with one lead partner per section and specific partners supporting and contributing to those sections:


  *   Gateway: ICFO to lead, with support and input from Tyndall, TU/e and AMIRES
  *   Open Access: TU/e to lead, with support and input from ICFO, Tyndall and AMIRES
  *   Data Management: AMIRES to lead (this was my understanding from the Steering Committee discussion in Barcelona, but please correct me if I have that wrong), with support and input from ICFO, Tyndall and TU/e
  *   Interoperability: Tyndall to lead, with support and input from ICFO, TU/e and AMIRES
  *   Training: Tyndall to lead, with support and input from ICFO, TU/e and AMIRES

Tyndall would then take responsibility for pulling the full deliverable together and submitting it, based on the inputs from each section lead and supporting partners.

Could you let me know if you are happy with:


  1.  The overall structure
  2.  The proposed leads for each section, and whether specific inputs are needed from any other partners
  3.  Whether you think anything important is missing at this stage

If it would be helpful, I am happy to set up a short meeting to align on the content and responsibilities. I know everyone is busy, so it may be easier to handle this over email, but I am very happy to arrange a call if that would be useful.

Once we are aligned on this, I will draft an outline of the report from one of the recent templates and will contact the relevant section leads so that we can start gathering the material.

Thanks all.

Kind regards,
Padraic
