Internet Science

2. IA1 Objectives
 This activity aims to increase ties to
transnational research promoting
interdisciplinary academic networks
knowledge between institutions.
 IA1 targets both members of the consortium,
as well as researchers not affiliated with any
partner.
 IA1 aims to strength cooperation and joint
research activities, broadening the horizons of
researchers and promote co-advising of PhD
students and young researchers.

3. WP Tasks
 Task I1.1 Mapping the field (OXF,
EPFL)
 Task I1.2 Identification of interested
participants (OXF, EPFL)
 Task I1.3 Development of information
resources for promoting the inter-
institutional collaboration (OXF, EPFL)
EINS Kick-off Meeting Brussels, December 21-22, 2011

4. WP Detailed Workplan
 Task I1.1 Mapping the field (OXF, EPFL)
 Online institutional survey to outline the
partner’s academic expertise, JRA activities,
their recent or current research (academic
strength), institutional research groups, PhD
programmes, existence of an institutional
mobility department/initiatives, etc.
 The survey will allow to collect information about
interdisciplinary research conducted by each
partner, identifying thus the available resources
and contact details to foster the research
mobility among the partners.
EINS Kick-off Meeting Brussels, December 21-22, 2011

5. WP Detailed Workplan
 Task I1.2 Identification of interested participants (OXF,
EPFL)
 Online individual survey of PhD students, young
researches or external people, interested parties
and faculty in participating. This instrument will be
used to identify the interest (research, expertise,
skills, profile) of potential participants.
EINS Kick-off Meeting Brussels, December 21-22, 2011

6. WP Detailed Workplan
 Task I1.3 Development of information resources for
promoting the inter-institutional collaboration (OXF, EPFL)
 Facilitate the links and communication between
institutions/departments/JRA and the potential participants.
 Faculty members will be encourage to co-advise those
PhD students, young researchers or other participants.
 Relevant information and assistance will be provided to
mobility candidates (online tool to identify the best mobility
opportunities available in EINS; new calls for ‘visiting
scholar or student’) to facilitate the mobility experience.
EINS Kick-off Meeting Brussels, December 21-22, 2011

7. WP Action List for the 1st Year
 Design of the online surveys and mobility platform.
 Application of the institutional and individual survey.
 Compilation of the information.
 Release of the platforms (results).
 Contact and connect partners and participants to facilitate
the mobility.
 1st report about information of the existing research mobility
initiatives.

8. Interdependencies with other WPs
 All the partners will have to fulfill the survey
and prepare reports if they preform has
hosting institutions.
 Close communication with the leaders of the
JRA, the EINS website (SEA1) will facilitate
the mobility of (internal or external)
participants.
 Participants of the research mobility are
expected to collaborate in the JRAs and
present their results in the ‘summer schools’
(IA2).
EINS Kick-off Meeting Brussels, December 21-22, 2011

9. WP Impact
 Research mobility is particularly important in
promoting knowledge flows and ensuring a
diverse and highly skilled workforce that has
the capacity to respond to opportunities and
challenges in the creation of the Internet
Science.
EINS Kick-off Meeting Brussels, December 21-22, 2011

10. Issues to be discussed and decided
 Reports required from the hosting institution
and the mobility participant.
 Level of autonomy of each partner
(selection of the best candidate and
spending of the budget).
