NA2.2E | Dissemination (May 2011 - Oct 2011) Marketing and Communication (since Nov 2011) |
The quality of EGI dissemination / marketing has improved since the previous period. However, it is perhaps not reaching far or wide enough, as it is rare to see EGI marketing reflected back from unexpected sources (e.g. appearing in general IT or science news sources) or resulting in interest to NGIs from new user communities. | 3 | Perhaps more marketing to general public, which would hopefully feed back to a wider set of scientific users. Look beyond the "traditional" outlets of ISGTW, etc. As an NGI, we could attempt to provide more stories, etc. to EGI.eu and also to better redistribute EGI.eu marketing material nationally. |

NA2.2N | Dissemination | NGI_IE dissemination effort is very limited and has had low impact. Current level of national funding is inadequate. While the activity can be sustained at current levels, this will make it difficult to increase impact. NGI_IE is considering sustainability plans. | 2 | Give greater prominence to outreach in strategy and plans. NGI_IE could try to better redistribute EGI.eu marketing material nationally. |
NA2.3N | Policy Development | NGI_IE has contributed usefully to EGI policy activities. The output from the policy activities is of high quality but relatively low quantity, reflecting the level of effort available. Quality depends on the input of individuals involved and despite the consultation procedures in place it is not clear that all policies are given sufficient scrutiny. It can be difficult to find time to review policies in depth. The intention or purpose of some policies, while clear to the authors, may not be clear to the readers / reviewers. | 3 | Clearer scheduling and assignment of policy editing and review (and record effort against such tasks). Avoid clashes between editing/reviewing and quarterly reports, etc. Call for interest in policy writing (as for Virtual Teams) to get interested people involved early, rather than at the "final call" stage. |
