EC Recommendations Beneficiaries are not the owner of the budget EPOS is one of the richest projects presently under implementation: for this reason the evaluation and progress assessment will be particularly rigorous and more severe! EC expects that EPOS will enter in pre-operation phase and will guarantee the full exploitation of results

Expectations

EPOS IP Concept

Four Strategic Actions Service Implementation (TCS-ICS)  WPs 8 – 17 TCS technical implementation  WPs 6 & 7 ICS technical implementation and TCS-ICS interoperability  WPs 4 & 5 TCS governance, legal and financial implementation Harmonization  WP3 harmonization of EPOS implementation with national priorities Communication  WP2 communication within and outside EPOS Project Management  WP1 management of the project and coordination with interim-office

Partnership

TCS Implementation Management, Communication Harmonization

EPOS IP Impact & Global Perspectives 10 TCS to be implemented ICS-C to be implemented ICS-d to be designed Harmonization with >20 countries Further engagement of stakeholders

EPOS IP Project Timeline Implementation Validation Pre-operation

Validation and Testing A rigorous testing and validation phase is foreseen in the DoA and in the GA for each TCS and for the ICS at M12 and M24 Establishing the metrics for EPOS IP impact assessment and TCS-ICS validation is a duty for the first year of activity (Session 5 of the kickoff agenda) The Service Coordination Board (SCB) and the PDB will ensure that all activities associated with the service implementation will be discussed and endorsed for validation in WP1 and WP3 The Implementation Phase Council (IPC) will approve the outcomes of validation and their transmission to BGR for final decision after discussion in the Board of National Scientific Representatives (BNSR)

Exploitation of Results The EPOS IP impact will be measured in terms of: Scientific value Capacity building Economic value Societal value Communication and dissemination activities (Session 3 of the kickoff agenda) are essential to this task and involve the whole EPOS IP partnership Access to data, data products and services through the implemented infrastructure and the ICS is a fundamental contribution The adoption of metrics to measure socio-economic impact is essential as well

Risk Management Risk management Risk management policy Risk management plan Risk register PDB is responsible for regular review of significant threats IPC discuss and approve transmission to BGR
