Resources to be committed. ScienceTalk’s request for funds is primarily to keep together the highly effective consortium established during the first phase of the project, which was identified as one of GridTalk’s strongest assets by the first year reviewers. GridTalk funded the employment of three full time members of staff for the two year duration of the project, one in each partner institution of the consortium. For e-ScienceTalk, while all the products are already established, and the initial effort-intensive period of starting them up has been completed, the nature of cutting edge online dissemination channels such as GridCafé, GridGuide, GridCast, the Real Time Monitor and iSGTW mean that constant redevelopment is needed to keep pace with new software, standards, applications and tools. The wide programme of work already initiated by GridTalk will be maintained during e-ScienceTalk. In the new EGI era of grid computing, a number of highly desirable extensions and expansions to this programme have been identified for e-ScienceTalk, and have been outlined in this document. In order to carry out these extensions and expansions effectively, e-ScienceTalk proposes to add an additional amount of funded effort to the original GridTalk team as detailed below.

Resources to be committed. The coordinator will require an academic employee and a part-time secretary (24 PM, and 18 PM, respectively) and the assistant coordinator will be supported by one part- time academic employee (18 PM). WP1 requires the appointment of a full-time Executive Manager with pertinent management experience in industry or international organizations. Budget for such an expert are is foreseen for 27 PM. This person will be supported by an academic employee (24 PM) and part-time secretary (18 PM). Costs for office and secretarial expenses (stationery, computers, communication) are also foreseen. The Associate Coordinator as well as the responsible person for global integration require support by a part-time academic employee (18 PM each). For travel costs for the coordinator, executive manager and assistants to support international cooperation, 3 journeys per month are budgeted (for one of these persons in turn). The Associate Coordinator will require a travel budget for one monthly journey as well as the partner for global integration. Several meetings have to be organized by WP1 and are budgeted according to the number of estimated participants per event. Two Governance Council meetings (60 PE each), four Steering Committee meetings (10 PE each), and two Coordination Committee meeting with 20 participants each (40 PE) are budgeted. In addition, an international conference will be organised in combination with the Stakeholder Forum meeting, to save on cost. Conference organization is budgeted and will be outsourced. Within WP1, there will be subcontracting costs for the legal advice and contracting and public relations activities to be outsourced to professional agencies. For the Chair of the Scientific and Ethical Advisory Board an academic part-time assistance (6 PM) is required. To cover travel costs for the international board members (9 persons) for two journeys (to cover the increased expenses of overseas flights) is budgeted. For the Chair of the Stakeholder Forum, part-time assistance (6 PM) and contributions to travel cost for the Stakeholder Forum (ca. 250 participants) are required. A travel budget for global integration (Coordination Board) will be required to support the necessary international contacts (travel expenses for incoming experts and for traveling to other organaisations, respectively). WP1 will keep a budget for travel, subcontracting or other cost, which is not allocated to a specific work package, in order to allow new experts or organiz...
Resources to be committed. The substantial resources requested overall for EURO4M reflect the ambitious scope of the project. Even with a budget of this magnitude, partner institutions will need to contribute significant additional resources. More importantly, EURO4M needs to use to the largest extent possible existing capacities. The expertise and experience of the beneficiaries in each WP, together with the degree of European and international co-operation, make the work feasible within the level of resources available. The total grant requested from the EU is 4 million Euros (M€), broken down as shown in Table B.2.4a. WP Name K€ 1 Regional observation datasets 1470 2 Regional reanalysis 1710 3 User-oriented information and climate change products 540 4 Project management, coordination and sustainability 280 Most of the budget is used to hire personnel; a small fraction is for computing and travel. From the total budget of 4 M€ roughly 80% will be spent on science to make available high quality ECV datasets in WP1 and WP2. The other 20% will be spent on integrated products (at the required level of aggregation and processing) and management. We believe this breakdown is justified, because European climate change monitoring requires a firm scientific basis. Focusing on existing datasets and systems only, would result in products and services that are far from the forefront of scientific developments. About 7% of the overall budget is dedicated to management. This small amount implies that a large part of the support needed will come from either the Coordinators home institute (e.g. for hosting the EURO4M website) and from the home institutes of the WP-leaders. Data storage and dissemination A huge amount of observational and reanalysis data will be produced in WP1 and WP2. These data will be analysed within the project and used for the multi-purpose products developed in WP3. WP3 will make an inventory of raw data needs by users outside the project as part of the CLT activities. We anticipate the need for EURO4M data after the end of the project. Therefore, the main datasets will be secured for at least 5 yr after the project ends. This is possible with the allocated resources only by virtue of exploiting existing infrastructure to the full, and capitalising on the benefits associated with an adherence to standards and interoperability. Data sharing within EURO4M will follow a service-oriented approach adopting common standards on metadata, data models, and network services as desc...
