Transcript WP7 – Training and Dissemination

Work Package 7 – Training and
Dissemination
Training and Dissemination:
why it’s important
We want others to take the CIM and CV and develop it once
Metafor is finished, so we need to make sure people
understand how to use them
We need to create a full account of what we’ve done for the
scientific record
According to the DoW:
•
WP7 will organise the wider impacts of the activities done within the project and the
delivery of knowledge to the four user communities targeted by METAFOR:
1.
2.
3.
4.
climate science,
the IPCC WG2 Impacts groups,
private sector companies, institutions and branches of government involved in climate
hazards and change and
the e-science community.
How do we do this?
• Our dissemination tools include:
–
–
–
the project website,
leaflets,
journal and conference
publications,
– presentations at external meetings
– Metafor-organised workshops and
training courses.
• The Metafor website (and
documentation on it) will remain online after the project comes to an
end
What we’ve done in Year 3
• The Metafor cartoon (over 1,875 views)
• The paper in International Innovation magazine
(http://www.researcheurope.com/magazine/PREVIEW/ENVIRONMENT/OCT1
0/index.html )
• Two new leaflets about the CIM and the questionnaire
• Lots of CMIP5 questionnaire training, both in-person and
via tele- and web-conferencing
• Written our first journal papers (4 submitted and several
more planned)
• The Open Dissemination workshop and EGU splinter
meeting about the questionnaire
Dissemination plans
• Our general dissemination plan is updated every 6 months
and submitted to the EU as a deliverable. (D7.2)
• We also submit EU suitable dissemination material on the
same schedule for the EU to use to publicise the project
(D7.3)
• These deliverable documents are in the deliverables section
of the Metafor website.
Newsletters
• We’ve continued producing
the quarterly newsletters, and
are now up to newsletter 8,
March 2011.
• These are posted on the
project website and are sent to
various email lists (is-enes,
prism, combine).
• These will continue until the
end of the project.

The Metafor cartoon
•
METAFOR teamed up with WePreserve to
produce the sixth Team Digital Preservation
adventure, Team Digital Preservation and
the Metafor Common Information Model.
•
It is freely available at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76MCR

•
It has proved a quick, easy, and entertaining
way of getting non-scientists interested in
the project
For example, at ICT 2010, Kostas Glinos (head of e-infrastructure projects in the European
Commission) asked to talk to us because he was very impressed by our cartoon! He had very
warm words to say about Metafor including
“ This project is very important, I wish more projects were doing what you do”.
Kostas was particularly impressed that we have the CMIP5 project as an application and that we
are planning to reach out to other communities – to describe downscaling and mitigation-impacts
models.
Planned publications
• Contribution (~10 pages) to Earth System
Modelling Volume 2, Recent Developments and
Projects, Springer
• BAMS Nowcast article
– “Making climate model metadata accessible to the
wider research community: the METAFOR project and

• Planned papers about the CIM and the tools and
services – journal to be identified.
