IMarine Liaisons

This page realizes D2.5; Reports on interactions with FP7 projects and other R&D national/international programmes on inter-project coordination and collaboration.

It is due at Month 15 aka January 2013

For each collaboration the following information are reported:

1. A description of the Project/Initiative and its Objectives;
2. The description of the Community of PracticeA term coined to capture an "activity system" that includes individuals who are united in action and in the meaning that "action" has for them and for the larger collective. The communities of practice are "virtual", ''i.e.'', they are not formal structures, such as departments or project teams. Instead, these communities exist in the minds of their members, are glued together by the connections they have with each other, as well as by their specific shared problems or areas of interest. The generation of knowledge in communities of practice occurs when people participate in problem solving and share the knowledge necessary to solve the problems. served/involved;
3. A description of the established collaboration agreement;
4. The detailed plan and dates, if this is available.

The initiatives are then summarized in an overview table.

Inter project coordination and collaboration

Collaboration plan

The plan at the start of the project for collaboration is described in the third iMarine objective:

"(iii) the extension, adaptation and deployment of a rich set of software components that implement these services. Instrumental in the activities of iMarine will be the establishment of an active set of collaborations with other international initiatives. The aim will be to reuse and render interoperable existing policies, technologies, and e-infrastructures. By leveraging on these collaborations and by taking advantage of additional funding that these organizations invest in the project, the number of available resources brought into play will be maximized."

Collaboration management (ask marc)

Describe the project activities to coordinate the collaboration. How do we go from a plan or opportunity to a collaboration. Not for each individual case, but what is the approach; roles of Board (Scout and ambassador), SB (Judge and referee), PEB (Worker and Manager), EA-CoPCommunity of Practice.
