28/06/06 Kickoff Meeting Integrating the infrastructure basis 1-Introduction WP4 is one of the eight workpackages of the EDIT project. It is Lead by the Spanish CSIC. This workpackage address the scientific and cultural impediments which hamper development of taxonomic new knowledge to fulfil the needs of scientific and other stakeholders, including top management levels.

28/06/06 Kickoff Meeting 3-Organization Constraints Hiring not possible until contract were signed and a copy available to CSIC WP4 not started at due time: few activities undertaken to date
6
28/06/06 Kickoff Meeting 2-Objectives General Maximise the efficiency of the extant organizational effort by promoting synergies among research teams within EDIT and beyond, : by exploring prospective areas for future collaborative efforts and by identifying end users and their needs from the field of taxonomy.
7
28/06/06 Kickoff Meeting 2-Objectives For the 5 Years: Maximise the efficiency and scientific excellence of the extant organizational effort by promoting synergies among research teams within EDIT and beyond. Link taxonomic research with societal requirements (end user communities). “Scientific alertness”: Explore prospecting areas for future collaborative projects. This will include emerging research topics and new tools and technologies. Develop a durable integrated research agenda for the EDIT roadmap. Organize competitive calls for tender and follow up projects

28/06/06 Kickoff Meeting 2-Objectives WP4 EDIT Governing Boards (NSC, SAC, BD) End Users Liaison Group Researchers Other EDIT WPs CETAF WP4 “Scientific Alertness Group” Proposals objective-driven research Research Agenda EDIT Roadmap
9
28/06/06 Kickoff Meeting 4-Activities 4.1 Integrating research projects within and beyond EDIT 4.2 Design and establish mechanism for call for tenders and follow-up of projects 4.3 Liason research / End-users 4.4 Scientific alertness: prospecting new and emerging opportunities 4.5 Progress towards an Integrated Research Agenda
10
28/06/06 Kickoff Meeting 2-Objectives First 18 months Set up blueprint for coordination of research projects within EDIT Link taxonomy with societal requirements (end users). Prospect for new research topics and new tools and technologies for taxonomic identification, and for implementation of corresponding collaborative projects.
11
28/06/06 Kickoff Meeting 2-Objectives 4.1 Integrating research projects within and beyond EDIT Deliverables Report on the state-of-the-art taxonomic research within EDIT (month 18) (collaboration with NHMD) Agenda for thematic EDIT meetings (month 10 - 18+) Draft and agreed guidelines for selecting pilot projects (month 12-18) Preliminary database of potential evaluators of projects (month 18+) (NHMD) Specific goal: Promote collaboration and complementarity among research teams within EDIT and establish mechanisms for integration of non- EDIT experts
12
28/06/06 Kickoff Meeting 4-Activities Proposal Explore within EDIT institutions and through a bibliometrical analysis in collaboration with the Centro de Información y Documentación (CINDOC) of the CSIC: Who?, With whom?, Where?, Which group? Geographical areas? Methodologies?…….. 4.1 Integrating research projects within and beyond EDIT
13
28/06/06 Kickoff Meeting 2-Objectives 4.2 Liaison research / End-users Deliverables: Web platform for e-conferences (month 4) (WP1) Report on brainsturming e-conference to identify potential end user groups and decide on how to assess their taxonomic needs (month 12) Draft report on research – end user liaison (month 12) (probably postponed) Structure and terms of reference for liaison group (month 18) (INRA) Specific goals: Identification and categorization of end users groups. Assess end users’ needs for taxonomy by sectors of end users
14
28/06/06 Kickoff Meeting 4-Activities 4.2 Liaison research / End-users Many activities postponed until hiring
15
28/06/06 Kickoff Meeting 2-Objectives 4.3 Scientific alertness: prospecting new and emerging opportunities Specific goals: Prospect new areas for integrated research in EDIT, e.g., as identified from SAC, liaison groups, NSC and BD Prospect new tools and technologies for improving rapid taxonomic identification
16
28/06/06 Kickoff Meeting 2-Objectives 4.3 Scientific alertnesss: prospecting new and emerging opportunities Description of work: Setting up an “alertness group” to prospect emerging opportunities (methods, tools, etc.). Organising workshops on already identified topics, including DNA Bar-coding (in collaboration with WP3), Morphometrics-Image Recognition and Sounds (for acoustic animals) Establishing a taskforce for organizing further workshops on themes suggested by alertness group, NSC, SAC, liaison groups or by CETAF, or emerging from the WP2 information on ongoing research.
17
28/06/06 Kickoff Meeting 4-Activities 4.3 Scientific alertness: prospecting new and emerging opportunities Proposal: “Alertness Group” should cover at least: Conceptual advances in Taxonomy Technological innovation for potential taxonomic application (Image analysis -XR, CTScan, ESEM, Communication, Robotics, Molecular biology, Proteomics, etc) Information accessibility through Internet (databases, cartography, PDF-bibliography, etc) Others to be identified
