WP11 Dissemination, Exploitation and Training

TAS3_D11p1 Dissemination Plan V1.0.pdf

TAS3 D11.1 Dissemination Plan Version 1.0 1 July 2008 Deliverable reviewed and accepted by European Commission. Executive Summary: The purpose of this document is to present a dissemination strategy and plan for TAS3 project activities and outcomes during the life of the project in order to create the optimal conditions for the project's growth and the exploitation of the outcomes, once the contractual period of the project is over. The aim of the strategy is both to ensure the relevance of the TAS3 outcomes for the target community and to promote take up and implementation at the widest possible level for future sustainability. Dissemination is clearly one of the necessary conditions for the project and for the sustainability of the project outputs, since it ensures the visibility needed to reach large audiences not directly involved in the project itself at the same time, active and ongoing exploitation of the results is critical to the sustainability of the outcomes. As outlined in the project proposal, the dissemination activities of TAS3 will start at the very beginning of the project and continue through its duration. This document, then, details the activities to be carried out in the framework of a dissemination strategy, the responsibilities to be undertaken by project partners, and the ongoing evaluation of the progress and results of such activities. The present dissemination plan is a working tool that reflects the approach and activities outlined in the project proposal but that will be enriched by the input and achievements of all partners. The Interim and Final reports will specify the actions carried out during the project life cycle. Two other documents will build on the Dissemination Plan: • The Communication Handbook will describe in more details the communication methods and tools used to create a public image of the project to address our audience through different media. • The Exploitation & Sustainability Plan will complement the Dissemination plan, focusing in greater detail on the exploitation of the final outcomes of the project.

TAS3_D11p5 Community V2p0.pdf

TAS3 D11.5 Accepted by European Commission in March 2010. Executive Summary: The constitution of a supporting community has started by investing into the Liberty Alliance community that currently regroups key actors in the field of digital identity standardisation and promotion. This has resulted in the creation of the HR-EDU SIG. Currently the Liberty Alliance is being reconfigured, which is an opportunity TAS3 should seize in order to increase its influence in the digital identity community. A virtual community was created using Ning to explore the use of social networks to support the project, but it is now dormant as it was not the expected success. We have now decided to create a large coalition of organisations and people around a central idea that has emerged from TAS3 research activities: the need and possibility to clearly separate the hosting of personal data from their exploitation. This simple and central idea will be used in the second part of the project to structure a campaign and create the conditions for sustainability with the creation of a Foundation.

Internal training requirements and setup - Accepted by European Commission in June 2009. Executive Summary: A key success factor of training work for the TAS³ project is that all partners have a unified and deep understanding of the TAS³ philosophy, architecture, modules, workflows and integration issues involved. This requires the development of an internal training plan for the three main contexts identified: • Technical partner expertise • Pilot partner insight and awareness • End-user take-up An initial overview of the training needs and activities for technical partners is provided, including a high-level curriculum (Appendix A). This internal training plan will be continually updated and detailed further as training needs develop and requirements are defined in more detail. This document outlines the training scope and context, the training methodology adopted and completed, current and planned training activities for internal partners so far. The provision of training is a shared responsibility of all partners supported by the WP 11 team and an underpinning online training environment. The second phase of the training plan will extend training to external partners involved in the pilots.

TAS3_D11p8 Report on internal training V1p1.pdf

TAS3 D11.8 Accepted by European Commission in March 2010. Executive Summary: This deliverable reports on internal training activity for the TAS³ project during the 12-month period from January-December 2009. The document is intended for reviewers and project team members and follows on from the D11.7 report delivered at PM12. The main aim of this phase of activity has been to provide harmonised training to the consortium partners which reflects the current state of the project; key objectives have continued to be: ensuring that internal partners develop and explore a common understanding and application of the concepts and methods used, sharing of knowledge and results arising from the work, and training of technical staff in concepts and technologies to be used for building software components to be used in the demonstrators. Specific training activity in the first half of the year was limited by the need to concentrate partners’ efforts on development of the draft project architecture and redrafting of key deliverables from Year 1. However increased activity and face-to-face meetings in the second half of the year, with a significant increase in both informal and formal training activities, have sought to address this. The systems to support training have now been stabilised with the establishment of new and improved tools, supported by a fresh, customisable online training environment. The majority of planned training events, including a series of developer integration workshops, were successfully completed; some of these were delivered through more informal routes than originally anticipated. In addition the project conducted a range of short, ad hoc training type activities, including support for project administration tasks, training partners in the use of and protocols for the new project portal and related tools, setting up technical staff involved in production of technical components in use of systems for tracking and monitoring software development and use of the newly-established Pool system administered by WP12. In addition communication regarding training requirements, activities and outcomes has been linked to regular project activities and communications (in particular the new TRAC project portal which also acts as a repository for key project documents). We have been able to streamline informal training and establish exchange of ideas using the RFC (Request For Comment) facility. For internal partners, this environment needs to be seen as acting in tandem with the more structured Moodle online training environment. We anticipate that this will be more heavily used in later stages of the project when training materials will be released first to pilot partners and then to the wider community. Training in the second half of the project will need to focus on topics such as legal issues, trust and trust perception, users and usability and supporting delivery of pilots. Pilot training design will need to encompass further training needs analysis to meet the specific needs of particular pilot participants, as well as evaluation of end user perceptions. In anticipation of the final phase of the project, parallel materials on set up and integration of TAS³ modules with live systems will be developed and tested, and further set up training will be derived to support implementation of the project business plan.
