WP6 External Communication

29. WP4: Joint Activities Workshop on joint training activities - to build on outputs from WP3 of identified gaps and opportunities - not necessarily to initiate training activities but to develop an action plan of how these might be determined and planned ie concentrate on process, mechanisms - perhaps look at some examples of how others have tackled similar situations - use facilitators to focus discussions and maximise chance of achieving objectives

30. WP4: Joint Activities elaboration of joint networks of excellence - avoid confusion with FP NoEs (though may include these?) - criteria to define excellence, how to gather and assess information, mechanisms to promote formation, development of networks - to include possibility of setting up networks of national programme managers - how would these work, training exchanges?

34. WP 5: Transnational activities General objective: to use the information from WP 2, 3 & 4 to build a transnational research programme to be included in participants national food safety programmes

35. Objective 1 to build a common research programme in agreement with the ESC The call should be realistic in order to allow to conduct an evaluation procedure i.e. « first call » rather than « pilot call » Several strategic topic (s) should have been selected from WP 3 & 4 Several members of the ERA net should be involved Validation of the transnational call by the ESC

36. Objective 2 to disseminate the call to the adequate researchers across partners countries Establishment of a procedure for the dissemination of a European call across countries Establishment of indicators of success to be used for objective 5 –Global response rate –Distribution of response rates by country –Quality of respondents –Adequation of responses with the topic (s) –…………

37. Objective 3 to build a common accepted and efficient selection procedure for the projects Compilation of evaluation procedures in recent calls at national level in the field of food safety Interviews with programme managers to analyse the key points in the selection criterias Establishment of a draft protocole Validation of the draft protocole by the ESC

38. Objective 4 to disseminate efficiently the results of research funded Establishment of a procedure for the dissemination of results across countries –Scientific journal vs report –Paper vs web site –Workshops… Establishment of indicators of success to be used for objective 5 –Questionnaire for researchers –………..

39. Objective 5 to evaluate the quality of the call Assessment of the efficiency of each phase in relation with previously elaborated indicators –With national programme managers (ESC) for objectives 1 & 3 –With researchers for objectives 2 & 4 Identification and correction of the gaps Production of guidelines for future transnational calls (final report)
