[Ica-osgeo-labs] Anyone Interested to coordinate Virtual G4A Grant Sprints for next round of H2020 (building up ideas from Como Grant sprints)

[Suchith Anand]

Just to mention that whoever wishing to coordinate the various H2020 bids should be aware putting in time for atleast 1 week a day for 4 months (which increases near the submission deadline!). So it might be good to have atleast 2 people coordinating this . For example , for the H2020 bid we submitted last week, we had two coordinators (one looking at the scientific coordination and other looking at administrative coordination). For WP leaders of the various Work Packages etc (which the University of Nottingham were) , it was also quite a bit of effort for the nearly 4 months from start to the bid submission. But overall it is a big team effort and all participants need to be be ready to contribute time and efforts. It is also very competitive, but well worth the efforts. With G4A , we have a very good collaborations in place with very varied multidisciplinary skillsets and geographic distribution, so it needs someone to come forward to lead the calls that match our interests. Thanks.

Colleagues,

I have been contacted by Hristo Nikolov (Space Research and Technology Institute,Bulgaria)  to explore ideas among G4A colleagues  for  planning virtual G4A Grant Sprints aimed at the next round of H2020 call and identify suitable calls.

He also send  the link for a good starting point  http://www.eurida-research.com/horizon-2020-news/news-18/index.html  (see bottom of the page for links)

So we need to first find who will be interested to coordinate these Virtual G4A Grant Sprints for H2020 (building up ideas from Como Grant sprints)

Please let us know  if any of you are interested to coordinate this (we will need to have weekly coordination telecalls arranged etc)

For info. i was involved in another H2020 bid in the last round . We at the University of Nottingham were  invited  as one of the partners (contributing to the Open Geospatial Science aspects) of a major bid  just submitted last week. It requires lot of work over atleast 4 months.

So i suggest that we plan the following steps

(1) Find who all are interested to  coordinator, identify suitable call etc
(2) Select coordinator for the particular call
(3) All interested to contact the coordinator and arrange participation.
(4) Coordinator to then take lead and arrange coordination for proposal writing /discussions with all interested members based on their expertise.

Any others ideas please let us all know.

Suchith
