WP6 - Training PlanetData

Objectives Training students, researchers, and professionals by: – Providing relevant training materials such as presentations, tutorials or video blogs, – Organising training events to share knowledge from PlanetData to a wider audience and new communities such as HCI, large-scale data visualization, statistics, – Career development by introducing mentors and young reserachers

Structure Task 6.1 – Training materials and open training infrastructure (Leader: STI2) (M1 – M48) Task 6.2 – Training events (Leader: IJS) (M1 – M48) Task 6.3 – Mentoring and career development program (Leader: KIT) (M1 – M48) D6.1 Training curriculum (M6) UIBK D6.2 Open training infrastructure (M6) STI2 D8.x – Regular management reports (M12, M24, M36, M48) JSI

Work done D6.1 Training curriculum D6.2 Open training infrastructure Infrastructure has been set for knowledge sharing community Existing materials from videolectures.net relevant for PlanetData has been selected Several events and meeting have been organised

Work in progress Transition from REASE to PlanetData knowledge sharing community on videolectures.net Preparation of the PlanetData video scientific journal Summer school in collaboration with COIN Training content development – Following the developed curriculum

PlanetData and COIN 2nd COIN summer school – Tentative title: Collaboration and interoperability in large scale inormation environments – Topics: Collaboration and interoperability, Technologies and solutions for large scale data, eerging business models in networked enterprises, Industry case studies,... – Venue: Warsaw – October 2011 – Local organiser: Chamber of Commerce PlanetData inolvement possibiliy (to be decided) – Coorganiser of thye summer school – Organising a two day track – Providing some talks

Video scientific journal step-by-step process – (1) starting with publishing the short abstract lectures 1st issue planned for begining of 2012, Should be attached to a conference or existing journal – (2) publish tutorials attached to the scientific publication, 1st issue planned for the end of 2012, Should be attached to a conference or existing journal – (3) publish only tutorials. Publication model developed To be decided: – Development of the programme committee – Deciding about (1) – event – Providing exact plan
