Common use of Objectives for work package 4 – Management Clause in Contracts

Objectives for work package 4 – Management. The objectives for the management work package are to ensure that the e-ScienceTalk project is run effectively and achieves its overall objectives in reaching out to its key audiences of policy makers, the scientific community, students and the general public. The work package will coordinate all the various activities for e-ScienceTalk and will also monitor progress. This will be achieved by recording a range of metrics, but also through surveys of the iSGTW readers, conducting interviews and questionnaires at conferences attended by the grid and e-Infrastructure community, through the impact and sustainability reports of WP1 and also by acting on the feedback from the Project Management Board. This work package will also assist the EC in the organisation of information days, concertation meetings and brainstorming activities including access to videconferencing facilities. WP4 will also draw on the outputs of the final reports from each of the work packages to produce an overall guide to dissemination for EU-funded projects, based on the experience gained and lessons learnt from both the GridTalk and e-ScienceTalk projects. In this way, a strong synergy between the four work packages exists and can be exploited very effectively by this support action.
