SPRITE Training

Training at host Use of Action Planner (mapped on to RDF) Web based Identifies training needs Tailored to individual Can be taken at host institution

Secondments Internship Mobility Partnerships (IMPs) European Laboratory Visit Exchanges (ELVEs) Up to 30% of time can be spent in these activities

Outreach 3 day annual conference SPRITE annual report 1.5 days scientific discussions 1.5 days public engagement SPRITE annual report SPRITE Newsletters MC Ambassadors

Outreach Listening and Learning: targeted training courses. Researchers to become Marie Curie Ambassadors. Reward and Recognition: Outreach activities are deliverables for every researcher in SPRITE and every partner is expected to contribute to at least one PE activity per annum. Knowledge Management and coordination: Centralized recording PE activities in SPRITE. Assessing community need and interests: Nurture the involvement of parties external to SPRITE, Focus: Develop a shared understanding of PE across the SPRITE. Leadership: Introduce PE champions across the SPRITE, including at the higher levels. Communication: external communications from SPRITE, where relevant, should contain an element of PE. Joining it up: provide a coherent plan for PE with input from all in SPRITE.

Impact Bridge the “valley of death” How to get research out of the laboratory and into the market TRL, RIL

Impact Advancing research up TRLs (to cross the “valley of death”) Developing research impact

Impact RIL Connecting with end users Developing appropriate partners and markets to exploitation Accelerating processes Managing risk Embedding Knowledge Exchange

Workpackages file://localhost/Users/Karen/TomTom/Research proposals/SPRITE/ITN 2012 SPRITE- Annex I.pdf

Gender Survey the needs of women staff Design and implement a gender action plan, this will be modified from the version successfully used in SPIRIT Promote womens participation in all research activities Promote womens participation in the projects committees and working groups Ensure a gender balance in decision making positions Family friendly working conditions to address work/life balance and positive actions aimed at scientists re-entering professional life after parental leave Mentoring of all ESRs and ERs but with particular emphasis on mentoring female researchers being aware of the specific issues and difficulties they encounter.
