Research Progress. 11.1. Research plan preparation The Management Committee will make recommendations to the Steering Committee concerning the Network research plan (including related budgets) for the corning year. This recommendation will be based on demonstrated progress and will include a statement on:
i. the continuation or modification of existing Network Research projects;
ii. the acceptance of new Network Research projects; and
iii. the use of new external financial support from other sources. These recommendations will be sent to the Steering Committee each year as directed by such Committee.
11.2. Annual network meeting or workshop The network will organize an annual meeting among its investigators, members, affiliates, and others, as considered appropriate by the Steering Committee, to share and discuss the results of the research and other activities. SSHRC will be informed of this meeting and retains the right to be represented at it.
11.3. Mid-term and final research report A mid-term research progress report prepared by the Project Director, Project Coordinator and Management Committee will be submitted to the Steering Committee who will submit an approved copy as required by SSHRC. The Network's Final Research Report will be due six months after the end of all Network activities.
Research Progress. Each Party will keep the other Party reasonably informed regarding the progress and results of such Party’s activities under the Joint Research Program, including an annual review of results versus any goals set forth in the Joint Research Plan.
Research Progress. Regular reviews of student performance are mandatory (Graduate e-Calendar, Research Progress Tracking). • The student’s Research Advisory Committee (RAC) consists of the supervisor and two other faculty members, one from the Biochemistry Department and one from another department. The RAC should have appropriate expertise to evaluate progress, and is established within the first semester of study. • The first RAC meeting must be no later than in the third semester, and at least once each following year. Failure to hold annual RAC meetings will be grounds for withdrawal. • The student is responsible to arrange RAC meetings, and submit the evaluation reports signed by the student, RAC members and GPD to the Student Affairs Officer of Biochemistry. • If an evaluation is “unsatisfactory”, the student must have another RAC meeting in 4 – 6 months to address concerns. A second “unsatisfactory” will be grounds for withdrawal. • A failure in one required course and one RAC evaluation will be grounds for withdrawal. • RAC approval is required to submit the X.Xx. thesis, Junior Seminar, Thesis Proposal and Senior Seminar.
Research Progress and Accomplishments (to date in relation to expected milestones and deliverables / outputs)
Research Progress. The meetings organized by Task 25 have established an international forum for ex- change of knowledge and experiences.The spring task meeting in 2008 was organized in Denmark and hosted by the TSO En- xxxxxxx.xx. In the autumn meeting, hosted by ECAR and SEI in Dublin, participating countries presented the national results in a one-day seminar followed by discussions about the final report. Coordination with other relevant activ- ities is an important part of the Task 25 ef- fort.The meetings in 2007 were organized in conjunction with Task 24, Integration of Wind and Hydropower Systems.The system operators of Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Portugal, and the UK have joined the meetings organized thus far. Links be- tween TSO organization working groups at CIGRE and ETSO European Wind In- tegration Study (EWIS project) have been formed, and observers have joined Task 25 meetings in 2008 and 2009. Publication of the work is a key goal of Task 25 co-operative research. In 2007, national case studies presented in a ses- sion organized for the European Wind Energy Conference (EWEC) in Brussels in April 2008.Task 25 work and results were presented at several other key meet- ings in 2008: the CIGRE C6-08 meeting in Berlin, Germany; the Irish Wind Energy Association meeting; a wind integration workshop in Madrid, Spain; the Windpower 2008 conference in Houston,Texas, United States; and the IEEE Power Engineering Society meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. Work has begun on a simplified assess- ment of wind integration effort and power system flexibility.The assessment draws on the work done by the Operating Agent for an IEA Secretariat study for the G8 on integrating renewable energy sources. In addition, a paper collecting results on statis- tical methods assessing short-term reserve requirements of wind power from Finland, Sweden, and the United States was pub- lished in Wind Engineering. The Task 25 web site has been estab- lished at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx under Task Web Sites.The public portion of the site contains the Task 25 publications and a bibliography completed in 2008 in conjunction with Task 24 that lists publi- cations related to system integration.The members-only section details the meeting presentations and information relevant to task participants.
