Main page with instructions. In this page, you can provide your assessments for the EGI Global Tasks (MS115) and your self-assessment for the NGI International Tasks (MS116).

Notes:

  • Both milestones are an assessment of services from a managerial perspective'and should be reported as an evaluation of the services -do 'not report what your NGI did for those tasks/services as this is covered by the Quarterly Reports.
  • MS115: External assessments of NA2.2 EGI Dissemination and Marketing as a global task. 
  • MS116: Self-assessment of NGI International Tasks, required for tasks where your NGI has effort. (The operations part is covered through a survey linked at the bottom of this page).


The content will be used for the following documents:

NA2.2E Dissemination (May 2011 - Oct 2011)
Marketing and Communication (since Nov 2011)
EGI presence at events and email communications are good. There is good communication between NGS and EGI dissemination staff. This area is let down by EGI website which has significant scope for improvement and I know work is underway. The new website should consider who is its audience and focus it on this. It currently tries to be something for everyone. If there are more than one audience then more than one website or entry point is needed. The current website is poor for accessibility, for example, the colour scheme fails contrast tests, scripts aren't offered for video clips, alt tags aren't used universally for images etc all meaning the website is not accessible for visually impaired users. There is no obvious link to an accessibility statement, and no privacy/cookie policy statement. 3 Address the website issues highlighted. There are free tools to check/improve accessibility, for emaple http://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/contrast-analyser.html


NGI International Tasks (MS116)

In this box, please provide your self-assessment on the quality of the following tasks.

NA2.2N Dissemination National dissemination program funded in April 2011, SeIUCCR, allowed UK to be very strong in this field. Good working relationship between NGS and GridPP projects meeting and exceeding outreach targets. Helped EGI develop Case Studies and Roadshows ideas from national initatives and many dissemination stories have been cross-pollenated from NGS/GridPP and EGI. 5 continue the good work
NA2.3N Policy Development It was sometimes felt this area lacked some coordination from EGI.eu - lacking direction about what NGIs could do to help. But NGI UK has strong links into eIRG and good relationships with many of the UKs Research Councils, because of the heterogenous research background of its user base (NGS). 4 improved central coordination
