NODE PROFILESCONTENTS • Background p. 3 • Node Profiles, as updated in spring 2012 p. 4 • Exemplary detailed version of a Node Profile p. 52 • Map of Common Interests Between Nodes p. 55
NODE PROFILESBACKGROUND Motivation • Providing a map with basic info of all MP Nodes, containing information on the Nodes‘ activities, members and contact information • Aim: • Showing the extent of expertise in this group to the outside, but also within the Nodes • Fostering communication and cooperation among MP Nodes • Supporting funding activities: The document can be used by headquarters for e.g. acquiring new funding and also by Nodes to communicate the extent of the network they are a part of Source of Information • The 2009/2010 Nodes Survey conducted by the German Node • The 2012 update using internet sources and individual email communication • Disclaimer: Some information still missing, some of the compiled information may be out-dated (as it is sometimes difficult to get feedback) • Challenge: Keeping the information continually up to date • Option: Integrate this in CIS
MAPPING COMMON INTERESTSBACKGROUND Motivation • In mapping the mutual thematic interests of MP Nodes, we hope to spark off (and highlight possibilities for) cooperation between Nodes Sources of Information • In the 2009/2010 Nodes Survey conducted by the German Node, many Nodes provided information about the projects they were working on or planning on working on • The 2012 update using internet sources and individual email communication provided further information • The individual projects were then allocated to more aggregated thematic clusters in order to identify thematic overlaps and common interests • Disclaimer: Some information still missing, some of the compiled information may be out-dated (as it is sometimes difficult to get feedback) • Challenge: Keeping the information continually up to date (and using it…) • Option: Integrate this in CIS
