  2. Stage 1 Stage 2 Plan of the meeting • Introduction to the workshop (AVD, JB) • Short introductory presentations of the participants • Summary and Introduction to Stage 2  • Lunch + Discussion • Discussion and input into final documents • Conclusions and Closure Internal deadline for submission – 12 March 2004 DEER

  3. Introduction to the workshop(Arcady Dyskin, Jack Barrett) • The ARC Network objectives, rules, criteria, etc • The schedule and content of the submission • Issues to be discussed at the meeting • Target outcomes DEER

  4. The ARC Network objectives • The Network builds on investments in excellent research to: • Enhance the scale and focus of their research; • Encourage more inter-disciplinary approaches to research; and • Facilitate collaborative and innovative approaches. • Network encourages and supports • highly creative, inter-disciplinary research that is not averse to risk-taking, and aims to new research directions • open exchange of information and sharing of resources, • coherent and integrated research plans among researchers working independently on topics of common interest, • efforts to nurture the careers of young investigators and research students, • links with actual and potential end users, and with the broader community. Network should be acknowledged in all publications coming from its activities DEER

  5. Vision: E-Science • Web based computations • Web-based data bases • Web-based visualisation • Web-based experiments? • Web-based discussions DEER

  6. Project costs supported • Networks financial assistance • to add value to existing research activity, • to create opportunities for new research activities • Personnel salaries and on-costs, including • The Network Convenor; • Research Associates, professional officers, technicians, laboratory attendants, administrators, organisers and so forth; • Specialist professional staff located within major facilities and other appropriate settings. • Shared research resources not eligible for funding by other ARC schemes: • Social Surveys; • Software tools; • Databases. • Activities bringing people together: • Workshops and similar meetings; • Planning, co-ordination and outreach activities; • Travel and accommodation. • Visits of international participants Content of submission DEER

  7. Selection criteria • Network strengths (30%) • Research strengths and opportunities (30%) • National Benefit (20%) • Funding and governance (20%) Reports from up to five external referees (≤200 words) should provide an assessment of the application against the selection criteria. DEER

  8. Network strengths (30%) • Breadth of engagement and standing of participants in the Network • Breadth and standing of relevant national and international participation • Capacity to raise the profile of the Network’s research portfolio globally • Coherence and cooperation • Strength and extent of collaboration and co-ordination within the Network • Cross-cutting & innovation • Potential for the Network to foster genuinely broad, cross-disciplinary, innovative research • Plans for providing support for new partnerships and linkages DEER

  9. Research strengths and opportunities (30%) • The research programs encompassed by the Network • Excellence of current and prospective research programs conducted by Network Participants • Opportunities to add value to Australian research programs encompassed by the Network • Participant track record, relative to opportunity • Track record of the Network Convenor and Network Participants in research and research student supervision, where appropriate • The Network Convenor’s track record as a research co-ordinator, relative to opportunities • Arrangements to encourage researchers who have less than 15 years postdoctoral experience to build research leadership and management skills within the Network DEER

  10. National Benefit (20%) • National Research Priorities • Capacity of the Network to be catalysed by National Research Priorities • Contribution to the Australian economy, environment, society and culture • Communication and Outreach • The nature and extent of the Network’s strategic approach to communication and outreach Research Priority 1: An Environmentally Sustainable Australia, PG 6 Developing deep earth resources DEER
