This post was made as a wiki so feel free to contribute and make any modifications necessary.
From January 2019, two Horizon2020 projects: POPREBEL and NGI Forward begin. The first team get-together was held on 7th of January – an informal, short check-in. These will be organized every second Monday at 17:00 CET to enable the attendees to share relevant updates or ask any clarifications on these H2020 research projects as @anique.yael explained at the beginning of the meeting.
The following was shared:
-
@alberto addressed the project proposal for DT-GOVERNANCE-13-2019: Digitisation, Digital Single Market and European culture: new challenges for creativity, intellectual property rights and copyright. The proposal is ongoing, the work packages need to be negotiated, but the outline is ready. The concept note was written by Alberto. It is necessary to work on the budget to attach the price to each of the tasks. This can be done by cloning the already existing work budget template. @anique.yael will coordinate with @alberto on this.
-
@noemi has been working with @john on the London training and on getting the people on the platform. There will be 10 participants, not only direct community managers but also people from all partners. Jan (the principal investigator from the UCL – the driver and scientific lead) is the key person involved and very engaged. Richard (the head of the school at UCL) is mentoring Jan through the process and acting as the key support. The question was brought up on the stage of building the platform and the issue of dealing with multiple languages. The people are usually encouraged to use their own language, so the way of using the platform should be very clear (it shouldn’t be expected to have one-language portal).
-
@anique.yael explained that in terms of the launch it is not possible to go live until the first deliverable is approved (related to the ethics and impact plan) – it was clear in the agreement that the platform will be going live in the month 3 of the project. On the technical side @matthias said it is fast to setup, good to go basically. There will be one major change that affects the log in (related to the wide level platforms) which should be tested before going live. Regarding languages – we have to care about the multilingual coding.
-
@john pointed out community managers should have a decent knowledge of English but nevertheless, the language should not be an obstacle for everyone to fully engage in discussions. It was agreed that the questions on multiple language fora need to be addressed in the separate discussion since it is the task of community managers, so @noemi will tackle this with @john.
-
@anique.yael prepared the contracts for all the team leaders to review. Should there be any questions feel free to communicate with her in the form you feel most comfortable with.
-
@alberto introduced @marina - new hire in the research network. She will spend the first few months to learn, get you know you and be exposed to what we do. She will be in London next week.
-
London meetings: informal dinner will be held on Monday evening, the trainings on Thursday and Friday, and @john and @anique.yael will atted the NGI kick off the following Monday.
-
It will be necessary to log in expenses in the Free Agent - @matthias confirmed that it is possible to log in the expense without it being on paying waitlist: the expense can be put in but the reimbursement has to be requested only once you have receipts and once the kick off is done. @anique.yael will make a post about the kick off and link to @matthias.
-
@alberto has done a post about the presentations and asked for reviews and inputs –PROPREBEL needs to be done soon – one two slides, for this week.
-
@alberto, @anique.yael and @marina will catch up on the campaign for 2019 and look at various proposals today (8/1).
