Key challenges. The AAT field is considered to be very competitive and there is a significant risk awareness that own essential know-how could be stolen. Another fear is the risk of innovative knowledge migrating to China. In general, the engineering research sector presents itself as a conservative and restrictive milieu, in which the protection of one's own IP is central. This can be deduced from the strong industry proximity in research xxxxxxxx0. This theme is also indicated by the current low level of open access publication (only about 20%), although the open access topic has been massively promoted politically since 2003. Furthermore, there seems to be still a need for clarification of the distinction between open access and open science. There is also a need to promote other facets of open science that are most likely of genuine interest to the AAT sector, such as open data, open source, open methodology. Yet, according to the surveys carried out, open science for the AAT sector is viewed very critically by the community. As outlined in D2.1, open science is evolving constantly and dynamically. On the one hand, this dynamic evolution increases the likelihood of tools and paradigms being created that are of potential use for the AAT community. On the other hand, this dynamic evolution of open science poses the challenge of maintaining an overview and making well-founded decisions. For those in the AAT community who want to connect with the open science community this could be a major obstacle. As has already been mentioned several times, the perception that open science contradict conventional IPR is common. This is, however, a misconception and has to be discussed in the community in order to counteract a general rejection of open science, based on misconceptions. The surveys of the OSCAR project reflected well that the interviewees are already interested in open science, especially in unhindered access to information and data, but on the other hand that they themselves are not prepared to act according to the open science mentality. There is still a great need to develop the culture and mindset of open science within the European AAT research landscape. Apart from the unjustified perception that open science is associated to uncontrolled disclosure of all knowledge or IP, participants of the OSCAR surveys believe that in order to implement open science, more time and thus resources must be planned into the project’s budget when doing open science. This could very...

Key challenges. Management information is key to supporting senior leaders to drive a successful portfolio. The table below identifies those challenges that the programme is likely to face and how our approach can help address these. Challenge How our approach can help to address this Ensuring the dashboard supports governance of the portfolio: BDUK has a wealth of information across 4 programmes interacting with a range of stakeholders at national and local levels. The challenge is providing the right information to the right people at the right time to support decision making An effective dashboard should form part of a “golden thread” of management information reporting from activity level through to project, programme and strategic / portfolio decision-making levels. A clear decision hierarchy is needed, identifying what information will enable decisions to be taken at that level. In this tight timeframe, we will develop the portfolio dashboard to generate the “pull” for the right information at the levels below. Our next steps document will outline how the dashboard can be embedded into portfolio governance. Making the dashboard clear and objective: Given the volume of information, there is a risk of providing the wrong information, or presenting it in a format that is not readily digestible. Further, it is easy for objectivity to be lost in narrative or “spin” which reduces decision effectiveness We will use our design expertise and engagement with the users of the dashboard to ensure it “works for them”, making sure the presentational and usability elements are incorporated. We will also seek to provide numerical data where possible, and minimise prose, except as callouts to describe escalations or changes. Where subjectivity is unavoidable, we will work with you to define relevant parameters and terms to guide those creating the dashboards. We will define terms and data fields clearly to support a common understanding with stakeholders and suppliers about what information is required. Making the dashboard easy to implement: There is a balance to be struck in providing sufficient information on business impact and delivery status, without creating a “cottage industry” or “analysis paralysis” resulting from unrealistic data demands The dashboard must be useful from day one but should also evolve with the programme. Our design and recommendations will both use the information you currently have to best effect and identify where further data is needed to enable even m...

Key challenges. Jordan’s economy and society have faced significant shocks in the past few years due to the regional conflicts in Syria and Iraq, the country’s main trading partners which disrupted Jordan’s trade routes and capital inflows. The Syrian refugee crisis put considerable pressure on the country’s economic, physical and social infrastructure. As a result, the country’s macro-economic indicators weakened, the fiscal deficit rose, and financing many key priorities became very difficult. The latest crisis and lockdown due to the carona pandemic in the country since March, 2020 is likely to be a major setback which will put considerable pressure on the limited resources of the country and impact its revenue sources. iii.
