Annual Meeting

Main Feedback review

• Overall progress fine• The work reported appears to be on target and in

keeping with the original objectives of the project team.• VRE set-up convincing. • Lack of evidence on how well it is operating was not yet

available. Expected that this will be forthcoming for the next review.

• Living Labs network on schedule and the existence already of regional nodes is encouraging.

• Better description of the relative merits of the regional vs. the virtual LLs in the future however as they are not yet convinced of the necessity of both.

• SNA good

What do we need to do until the review in May?

• Make sure that the VRE activities are measured• Finalise the concept of the regional and virtual SG LL

explaining how we expect them to profit from each other• Define clear indicators to be measured for each LL with

short, medium and long term goals• For the VRE and the Virtual Living lab we will use the

SNA approach (Come to Yulia’s Workshop on metrics!)• The game (Kam presents later) will also be used for the

community building.• Define a clear strategy in how VRE, LL and the game

can be used to achieve the overall target of GaLA

How to get there

• Embed the game in the VRE• SNA is very interesting, but in order to get step further it

is necessary to collect data using the infrastructure as well as to establish a taxonomy.

• Last time, the exchange of emails, blogs/twits were used, but we had no analysis of what they talked about- i.e we cannot say anything about the quality of this collaboration. This has to be changed- use the taxonomy and that people use the portal

• Potential places to find the data; portal, email list, archive • Based on the metrics workshop, WP 8 will look at the

data needed for the analysis

Next step

• During the London meeting: a small meeting discussing and analysing the input from Yulia’s metrics workshop and the WP presentation

• Inform the consortium about the data needed• Look at how to improve the usability of the VRE- we

need to use this in order to get the data for the TCs and SIGs

• Monthly short news letter to everybody for this WP• Finalise the SGLL taking the reviewers comments until

March, 31 and the req. From ENOLL into account• Establish the living labs• Plan regularly Skypes between the tasks and within the

task
