Update on Deliverable 1.3 – Objectives and plans for involvement of Working Groups and Expert Panels ITIDA
Working Groups • The Process Working groups are created among project partners’ staff and split according to the information to be collected and analysed for the to different geographical and linguistic (English – French) areas MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review
Working Groups • Objectives • Data identification. • Validation of the collected information. • Developing the Environmental Analysis Report. • Developing the National Mapping Report. • Developing the Consolidated Mapping Report. MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review
Working Groups • The Process Within each working group • scheduled project meetings • e-mail exchange & telephone calls Among the two working groups • Cybion as a supervising organisation MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review
Working Groups • Progress • The Working group meeting #1 • Aimed at analysing the status of questionnaires completion, defining and planning follow up activities and back up actions. Agenda items • Analysis per country of questionnaire status • Planning for coming weeks work on questionnaire results follow up • Methodology for results consolidation • Strategy for mapping report drafting • Experts panel situation update: experts selection, expert contact, fixing of the 1st date for expert panel meeting. MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review
Working Groups • Progress • Methodology for results consolidation STEP 1 – data analysis in working group context • Objective 1:identify per country research and development priorities in the short and medium term (3-10 years) • number of companies registered in the database • % representation of country ICT Companies • number of companies having answered to the questionnaire • number of completely filled in questionnaire • number of companies divided per challenge (how many have selected Ch. 1 as research priority, etc.) • Objective 2 :Identify at least 50 players per country among industry and IST research operators (benchmarking exercise). • list of companies with excellence score ranking • selection of 50 excellent players per country • list of the 50 players divided by challenge selected MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review
Working Groups • Progress • Methodology for results consolidation STEP 2 – data analysis in Expert panels context • Expert panels will start their analysis from data elaborated in the framework of the working group and already presented in a structured way. Preliminary classifications and proposals are given as a result of the initial bottom up approach. • These data and information will have to be analysed and combined with more input coming from other different sources: • environmental analysis: e.g. what research areas are being funded at nation al level in the ICT area? What are the ICT research priority areas identified by national public institutions? • knowledge and background of the experts: knowledge of the country industrial context, knowledge of best players; etc. MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review
Working Groups • Next Steps • Meeting #2 • Date: End of February/beginning of March • Place: virtual (skype) • Duration: 2 hours • Agenda items • resume on questionnaire completion status • account of follow up activities results and impact • first results from questionnaires: presentation of first analysis results of data received • Meeting #3 • Date: End of march/beginning of April • Place: virtual (skype) • Duration: 2 hours • Agenda items • report on expert panels meeting #2 • presentation of first draft of consolidated mapping report MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review
Expert Panel • Objectives • Two Expert panels had been conceived at the beginning of the project for the analysis of the 2 groups of countries data. • After discussion among partners and preliminary attempts to fix a date to meet experts it has been decided to follow a different approach. The experience of MED IST has also been important to select this as an option. The expert panels will operate at national level and are composed by: • 2 representatives of the consortium; • 2 local experts and • 1 European expert in ICT and international cooperation. • The two representatives of the consortium for each Expert panel are : • Cybion • The Partner responsible for the concerned country. MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review
Expert Panel • Milestones • Validation of Del 3.1 and experts feedback/input on current status of ICT environment and trends in each MED country & first conclusions in terms of emerging research competencies, benchmarking, gaps and strengths. • Final conclusions made on research competencies, benchmarking, gaps and strengths of mapped ICT stakeholders in each MED country. • Final conclusions made on research competencies, benchmarking, gaps and strengths of mapped ICT stakeholders in for all MED countries.

Expert Panel • Progress – meetings The first expert meeting can be considered as positive as regards the experts’ perception on the project and the activities accomplished up to Today. MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review
Expert Panel • Common feedback – Mapping report • Experts validated the National mapping report template as exhaustive and as an excellent document which can provide, once filled-in in all its section, a detailed picture of the IT situation in the Mediterranean target countries. • Current version of the mapping report does not reflect the ICT sector. • Concerns were mentioned with regard to the timetable, considering that the data collection through the questionnaires will take a considerable amount of time. • The questionnaire is still not an easy task to be filled by good % of organizations, more follow-up activities is needed. • Collaboration is needed with MED-IST to get more info about research centers and Universities in order to have a complete mapping report that adress all players not only SMEs MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review
Expert Panel • Common feedback – Environmental Analysis Report • Data needs to be updated to reflect current status. MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review
Expert Panel • Next Steps • Continue on follow-up activities to get questionnaire filled by target players. - Update the mapping report and arrange for another review meeting with the expert panel by the end of March 2008. MAP-IT! 1st Periodic Review
