Notes:
- This milestone is an assessment of services from a managerial perspective and should be reported as an evaluation of the services (e.g. objectives being met; resources to effort; issues; suggested strategic changes).
- 'DO NOT' report what your NGI did for those tasks/services as this is covered by the Quarterly Reports.
- In order to edit this page, you need to log in with your EGI SSO account and click 'edit' on the tab (top of this page).
Community Engagement
EGI-InSPIRE Task | Task Name | Assessment | Score | How to Improve | After EGI-InSPIRE** |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
*NA2U.2E | Marketing |
The person in charge of dissemination leaved and the NGI is currently in the process of a new hiring. | 3 | Will be improved with the new person hired. | |
NA2.1N | NGI International Liaison |
The NGI effort is important and a person is full time in charge of the relationship with user communities. There is also a deputy. | 4 | Improve the relationship among the NILS and build a team. They could learn from each others. | Try to keep this team alive. |
NA2.6N | Distributed Competency Centre |
The implication of French people in the VTs is good (almost all currently running VTs). | 4 | VTs results and outcomes could probably be better and wider advertised (for ex in the "dispatch" message to the NILs). The VTs dedicated page (https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/Virtual_Team_Projects) is more focused on the VTs progress than in the VTs results and outcomes. Dissemination of the outcomes could be improved with the help of the NILs and of the EGI.eu team. | Keep web pages with all participants names and outcomes. |
*Please provide your external assessment on the quality of the service, which is delivered as a Global Task (scores and feedback will be included as part of MS123 - Global Task Review).
**Please comment on the continuation or service impact at the end of EC funding regarding the EGI-InSPIRE task/service.
