Brussels, 4-5/2/2014 Foster Multidisciplinarity: JRA2 and JRA3 re-organisation In order to engage more social aspects and outreach to more disciplines: JRA2 and JRA3 have been restructured New leadership experienced in highly interdisciplinary collaborations, particularly those related to Internet Science. New content, engaging more social aspects New deliverables (many of them as online repositories to outreach external communities) For the sake of outreaching: 3 JRA2 and 2 JRA3 deliverables will be online providing design methods and experimental and empirical evidence base for Internet Science (datasets and tools) even after the end of the project and appropriate community engagement mechanisms will be used Preliminary version: http://www.internet-science.eu/tools 2 JRA2 submitted deliverables, namely D2.1.1 and D2.4.1 have been re- submitted as improved versions involving more disciplines Connection with open call projects ( REVITAL, MORFEO, CONTROPEDIA ) 2nd EINS REVIEW

Brussels, 4-5/2/2014 Foster Multidisciplinarity: Through EINS Open Call (1) Open Call Evaluation Criteria fostered multidisciplinarity: Multidisciplinary considerations, i.e., involvement of different disciplines in the consortium (in case of mono-applicant submissions, involvement of different disciplines members of the same applicant organisation in the proposal) Involvement of new participants (outside EINS) Relevance to the call Be in line with the spirit of a NoE, aiming for instance at promoting ICT/non-ICT research integration, explore new inter-disciplinary research areas, enhance research coordination and networking, Being at the intersection between humanistic and technological disciplines Improve and bring new knowledge to Internet Science areas that are not sufficiently covered at present Being beneficial to society 2nd EINS REVIEW

Brussels, 4-5/2/2014 Individual WP responses 2nd EINS REVIEW
19
Brussels, 4-5/2/2014 JRA2 response to 1 st year review "A lack of synergy is observed in some areas like JRA2 and JRA3. There is need to outreach different disciplines.” Actions taken in Year 2: Cooperation with JRA3 Participation in WebSci’13 and WebSci’14 Work with DERI (Galway) to identify make-up of disciplines in areas related to Internet Science Cross-disciplinary work to seed methods repository e.g. Comp Sci, Social Sci, economics, psychology Change in JRA2 leadership to incorporate social sciences Committed to cross-JRA workshop and connecting with Open Call projects and JRA4 JRA2 (C) 2014 University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre and other EINS partners
20
Brussels, 4-5/2/2014 JRA2 response to 1 st year review “Unclear what new ideas emerged from the Nov’12 workshop” results incorporated into revised deliverables see D2.4.1 “Lack of concrete progress” due to timing of review (M12 before any JRA2 deliverables due) tangible results now available repository populated (27 methods so far) http://www.internet-science.eu/tools recommendations provided to standards bodies and funding agencies JRA2 (C) 2014 University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre and other EINS partners
21
Brussels, 4-5/2/2014 JRA3 response to 1 st year review In response to the review, the JRA3 leader opened a call for contributions on the basis of these answers, it was possible to verify that ● some partners where completely unresponsive ● some new entrants could substitute them ...significant redrafting of DoW making it easier to focus on tangible projects/issues to foster participation ● platform for datasets, tools, methodologies cases/pilots to have real discussions with stakeholders and contribute to populating the platform ...all that was also connected with the issue of co-leadership Thanassis Tiropanis (SOTON): computer science background (computer engineering and informatics) Federico Morando (NEXA): social science background (economics and law) 2nd EINS REVIEW
22
Brussels, 4-5/2/2014 JRA3 response to 1 st year review Critical issue: slow progress: some resources re-allocated the new pace of progress is higher, also thanks to hands-on workshops (using Skype + GoogleDoc or similar tools to collaboratively edit documents) and periodical calls; Critical issue: lack of synergies between other JRAs (in particular 2) and JRA3; need to outreach to different disciplines: quickly going public with a beta-version of the platform (as described in the previous slides) also aims at addressing these issues; co-leadership with multidisciplinary backgrounds; during 2014, Task R3.3 (setting-up a multidisciplinary dialogue) will organize at least a public workshop reaching out to the open data or network neutrality multidisciplinary communities. 2nd EINS REVIEW
23
Brussels, 4-5/2/2014 Extremely close cooperation – notably over ‘Internet Governance Month’ October 2013 (Marsden/Powell) Workshop 21 October/panel discussion 22 November Unnecessary to merge given excellent ties JRA4 and SEA2 response to 1 st year review Combining JRA4-SEA2: 2nd EINS REVIEW

27
Brussels, 4-5/2/2014 JRA8 Review Response More multi-scale integrated focus may be helpful: Initiated the work about user behaviour with an intensive discussion during the plenary meeting in Munich Assigned the JRA8 co-leadership to Laura Sartori, affiliated to the social sciences department of UniBo Formalized the merger of Tasks R8.3/R8.4 to increase the discussion forum and the impact of both tasks Due to overlapping themes, JRA7 and JRA8 could be combined to form one team Still two separate teams, but with an increased collaboration Some JRA7 partners attended the JRA8 session at SustainIT2013 Joint JRA7/8 workshop at the DRCN2014 conference confirmed, entitled “Understanding the inter-play between sustainability, resilience, and robustness in networks” WP8: JRA8 - Internet for Sustainability
28
Brussels, 4-5/2/2014 SEA3 response to 1 st Year Review Reviewers’ comments Satisfactory progress on dissemination activities The planning and organization of the 1 st EINS conference has not been completely satisfactory SEA1 and SEA3 should be a combined effort WP response Efforts on dissemination activities will remain important An all-JRA workshop organized in 2014 allowing to better prepare for the 2 nd EINS conference for the organization of which all reviewers comments will be taken in due consideration SEA1 and SEA3 will further increase their on-going cooperation (no merging: no clear benefits, a lot of non-productive efforts needed) 2nd EINS REVIEW
29
Brussels, 4-5/2/2014 MA1 response to 1 st Year Review According to the review recommendations, this year the technical report : Is more concise on the theoretical background Include work and concrete progress of each WP during the period EINS management activities have been improved : WP co-leaders facilitate the better coordination and integration of activities Re-allocation of effort from non-contributive to contributive partners EINS executive board discusses all problems 2nd EINS REVIEW

31
Brussels, 4-5/2/2014 EAC Feedback (1) Minimize deliverables to have only concrete ones presenting the results Audience, actors, related questions and importance of the questions should be defined for each JRA, instead of writing whitepapers Should put on the website for each JRA a paragraph “what is exciting in this JRA EAC members offered and suggested to: Review important deliverables prior to EU review Help us translate deliverables to exciting publications Get involved in pointed activities (e.g. participating in workshops) 2nd EINS REVIEW
32
Brussels, 4-5/2/2014 EAC Feedback (2) Connectivity with the rest of the world (through other existing social networks) Should have a workshop on “Intellectual Integration” We need concrete outcomes: JRA1: annotated bibliography for internet science JRA3: Datasets and catalogues Measure how the integration of different disciplines takes place Write a report on how we interact as a network 2nd EINS REVIEW
