Plan for using and disseminating knowledge. The network will be underpinned by a robust and well-established web-based e-community software platform, provided by Baigent Ltd, which will be a powerful tool both to support interactive working between the teams involved and in the spreading of excellence via dissemination, communication and networking activities both within the network, and to teams external to the network. Furthermore, this software enables members to connect with existing relevant pan-European food research and information networks. Overall EuroFIR will:
Plan for using and disseminating knowledge. The knowledge and information accumulated by the EGEE partners will be used to feed technical content to the Dissemination and Outreach activity. A major vehicle for the dissemination activity will be a lively and up- to-date EGEE central web site hosted at XXXXXX. This will be supplemented by focused email distribution lists and web based collaborative tools hosted at XXXXXX. The material will also be used as the source for the production of printed material that can be used to support conferences, workshops and training sessions. CERN will use the material in support of their contacts with the media. In order to give some exposure to the types of services that can be expected from EGEE, CERN and XXXXXX will develop a portal on the external web site giving demonstration access to a limited range of Grid applications. The full plans for using the knowledge and information acquired in the EGEE project will be defined in the "Project Information Dissemination Plan", scheduled for delivery in month 3 and updated in month 9 of the project.

Plan for using and disseminating knowledge. One of the four targeted euCognition activities is dedicated exclusively to outreach and, therefore, to the use and dissemination of knowledge. As set out in Section 7 – Detailed Implementation Plan – the Outreach activity includes nine tasks dedicated to using and disseminating knowledge. These are:
Plan for using and disseminating knowledge. The management and dissemination of knowledge will be addressed in the framework of the Workpackage 2 “Information and dissemination Systems”. The information system of the Co-ordination Action will play a major role in the exchange and dissemination of data, good practices and standards. The associate collaborative Web site will be improved by the members of the project (with different level of permissions) to make a reference knowledge base on the Internet. As publications will be the main deliverable, the publication system is indicated as a main item of the Co-ordination Action. A special attention will be given to dissemination in order to strengthen the position of the geothermal energy among the other renewable energies. The infrastructure of this information system, the definition of the publication policy and the management of knowledge and intellectual property will be proposed by the leader and associate partners of this workpackage, under the supervision of the Co-ordinator. The resulting document will be submitted for agreement to the Steering Committee and Executive Group. The leader and associate partners of this workpackage 2 will then ensure maintenance and support of the Web site and electronic monthly newsletter and the smooth and streamlined information flow within the Co-ordination Action. They will be attentive to all requests from the other workpackages concerning matters of communication, information transfer and publication policy. During the whole duration of the project, assistance and support will be provided to the participants of the Co-ordination Action for the publication of their results in varied information channels. A mid-term review (t0+14) will be common to all Workpackages and will be a milestone for the evaluation of the Web site and information and dissemination system.
Plan for using and disseminating knowledge. A number of activities within WP7 will enable the dissemination of knowledge beyond the consortium. Most of these activities are designed to outlast the network funding period. Spreading of excellence of the results and research findings will target academics and industry players. Activities such as WP7.1 “Web site and electronic newsletter”, WP7.2 “K-Space conference” and WP7.3 “Towards a Scientific Forum in Multimedia Knowledge Extraction and Analysis” are instrumental to achieve that goal. Activities WP7.5 “Exhibitions and demonstrations” and WP7.6 “Contribution to standards and technology transfer” are also extremely important for disseminating knowledge to industry players as well as to the ordinary citizen. Additionally, the network will carry out activities targeting students and young researchers by means of courses and training programs that could lead in the longer term to integrated doctoral programs. In fact, it is predicted that a major long term impact will come from the Masters programmes. We estimate that by 2010, such programmes, either coming from K-space or inspired by K-space’s success will produce up to 500 new Masters graduates a year. Most of these will be finding employment in Europe in research laboratories or R&D. Some will be employed by the media corporations. The concept of offering seminars by web-cast is already dramatically on the increase. We expect K-space partners to continue broadcasting their excellent activities in this way. We also expect our research under WPs 3,4,5 and 6 to lead to new techniques and products, together with patents, licences and spin-offs. The common tools and databases developed in K-space will be made available whenever possible after the funding duration of the network and will serve as means for continuing integrating research. Similarly, research and commercial exploitation of the component developed under K- space will ensure the continuation of the Network. Plan for Using and Exploiting Knowledge: All K-Space partners will support technology and support liaisons with industrial players seeking opportunities for exploitation of result emanating from the joint research activities. The Industrial Advisory Board will play a crucial role in K-Space using and dissemination of knowledge. The design and execution of a plan for technology transfer is one major task within Activity WP7.6, coordinated by CERTH. This plan aims at properly transferring technology to industry. Furthermore a plan for the ex...
Plan for using and disseminating knowledge. A Project WEB site, Management Database, e-Mail, Mailing lists, Templates for Meetings Agendas, Meeting Minutes, Reports and Costs statements are the basic tools that will be put in place for information bookkeeping and flow. Besides, a project website will be settled with security levels, in order to interface persons with the basic tools. The project activities’ meetings are key tools for the running of the project. They will be held either in presence, by phone conference or by videoconference. A calendar with the dates of ordinary meetings will be agreed yearly at the kick-off meeting and at the last meeting of the first year. Specific actions will be undertaken to successfully disseminate project results. These include: - Establishing close relationship with European Infrastructure projects such as EGEE and EGEE-2 and with Projects involved in the development of Grid infrastructures outside Europe (EELA, EUCHINAGRID, EUMEDGRID, etc.) A CYCLOPS contribution to the EGEE-II project conference and user forum will be assured - Monitor and follow up European and worldwide standards as they emerge within international bodies like the Global Grid Forum (GGF). Organization of and participation in conferences, workshops and knowledge dissemination events, so as to disseminate the project results to the potentially interested communities. In particular the Cyclops partners plan the: - Organization of a project open conference (in Italy, Roma – DPC) to be organized during the first year, to meet Grid, Civil Protection and GMES experts broaden the opportunities for dialogue and discuss the EGEE platform for Civil Protection applications also towards other national and transnational organization. - Organization of a mid-term project workshop to present the CYCLOPS objectives and first results. - Organization of a project final conference to present the results to many different communities: scientific and technological, Civil Protection, GMES and Earth Observation. - Co-ordination of dissemination activities by project partners in the academic and research communities of the participating countries. The project will facilitate the spread and exchange of technical expertise between all participating countries. The Project will also facilitate the exchange of information between the participating countries and the rest of the world, via close interactions with worldwide Grid efforts and projects. This interaction between the associated participants of the project is ...
Plan for using and disseminating knowledge. Dissemination is considered a central element of this project. The goal is to improve co-ordination of research into cutting edge approaches for the control of plant pathogenic virus diseases, and their vectors, by developing stable and sustainable genetic resistance in host plants, and to make industry, consultants and growers better aware of the benefits. An entire work package (WP7) has been devoted to dissemination, technology transfer and staff exchange. Technologies and know-how will be transferred between research and industrial partners when particular convergent interests occur. This part of the project is felt to be of such paramount importance that all of the partners in the project will be involved to some extent. The primary mode of dissemination will be the project’s web site, which will be designed principally as a tool for communication between partners, but also to allow easy access to the project’s reports and documentation. Development of the web site will involve expansion of the public areas to host bulletin boards, files for downloading, and user-friendly information pages to provide an introduction to breakthroughs and new developments for scientists, industrialists and consultants. The web site will also display calls for meetings, calls for proposals, and links with other relevant resources at European and international levels. Educational materials, for growers and for undergraduate students, and information for consumers and the public will also be provided. It is intended that this project web site will continue after the end of the funded period, either independently as a “virtual institute”, or through further competitively-won research funding, e.g. as a network of excellence. The co- ordinators do not believe further funding will be necessary to maintain the web site as an important dissemination tool. It is hoped that it will become an invaluable means of continued networking amongst researchers and practitioners in Europe concerned with, or interested in, developments in controlling plant pathogenic viruses/vectors by using genetic resistance. QUADRATE is prepared to continue to host the project web site, in exchange for the right to advertise its services through the interface. The information collected through this project is likely to be of considerable interest to European researchers. Since the costs of the initial data collection will be subsidised by this project, further running costs for the database and web site ...
Plan for using and disseminating knowledge. SELFMAN will disseminate its results in three main directions.
Plan for using and disseminating knowledge. EXPReS activities will result in the generation of new knowledge. One of the aims of the consortium will be to disseminate such knowledge as widely as possible. EXPReS will have an Office for Public Outreach and a public website ran by the EXPReS Outreach Officer. The web-site will contain information on all of EXPReS’s activities; the public minutes of EXPReS meetings; the electronic proceedings of workshops arising from the networking activities; and lists of, and links to, preprints and publications arising from all EXPReS activities. All EXPReS partners will be actively encouraged to participate in international conferences and workshops (both in the astronomy and networking domains) and to give papers and posters at such meetings. The astronomers benefiting from the e-VLBI service will be encouraged to publish their scientific results in refereed astronomical journals (such as Astronomy & Astrophysics). Technical results arising from SA1, SA2 & JRA1 will also be published in appropriate engineering and/or scientific journals. The EXPReS Management Team (EMT) will develop and maintain an Intellectual Property (IP) register. This will be updated on a regular basis. IP will be a standing agenda item at the Board meetings. It will be a requirement that EXPReS and the EC-funding be acknowledged in all publications. All reasonable attempts will be made to ensure that a significant level of public outreach is maintained. This might be through public lectures at EXPReS facilities; the maintenance of the EXPReS website and interaction with amateur astronomical associations.
