Common use of JOINT WORK PLAN Clause in Contracts

JOINT WORK PLAN. To support the collaboration objectives defined in article Article 2 (“Purpose and scope”), a joint work plan is defined and will be regularly reviewed and updated at least annually. The Parties will jointly deliver e-infrastructure services and support the needs of global scientific communities. The cooperation is focused, but not limited to the following areas: Cloud resources integration; [Radio Astronomy] Applications deployment and shared datasets; Exchange information about the impact of e-infrastructure services and offerings on science and showcase these at relevant events. EGI will support IDIA in federating its Ilifu (cloud) resources within the EGI Federation, enabling it to be accessed by South Africa researchers and EGI users that had been added to appropriate Virtual Organizations (VOs), with the appropriate authorization roles. To achieve this goal, both parties will undertake to: provide Local and Global operational services as needed to support the international user community and the EGI operational needs; subscribe to a mandatory set of policies, procedures and OLAs; comply to the operations interfaces required by the EGI Operations Architecture, which are needed to ensure access to resources; IDIA aims to use the EGI federation to enhance collaboration with scientific partners in Europe and to make it easier to have new users access the IDIA Cloud resources. Timeline: 2-3 months IDIA has developed the toolset required to analyse the data being produced by the MeerKAT telescope. The toolset and workflow tools together are described at the IDIA Pipeline in keeping with the terminology used within the radio astronomy community. The aim of the partnership with EGI is to make the tool available and deployable on EGI cloud resources. IDIA further work focusing on data, improving the transparency with which datasets distributed between collaborations can be found and accessed. Timeline: 6-8 months
