Avoiding Perfection in Favor of the Good Enough
|
|
The Strategic Collaboration Council met at the April EGU meeting in Vienna to continue mapping out the path ahead for the combined activity. For this meeting, the group built on the discussions during the bi-weekly tag-ups related to reframing the governance concepts. During the EGU discussion, the focus was on identifying specific next steps that continue to build towards a working framework. Agenda items covered included updates from COOP+ and COOPEUS, and an update on soliciting inputs for the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA).
By the end of the meeting, the group agreed to keep the original
Mission Statement
, the following specific areas to work on as next steps: finalizing feedback on the SRIA
(see article below)
, organizing for ICRI and AGU 2018, and starting some development of approaches to knowledge management, communications/marketing, and engagement. View our website for
meeting notes.

Diarmuid Ó Conchubhair,
Marine Institute, Ireland
COOP+ is currently developing a
Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA)
which will form the basis for global co-operation and collaboration of the RIs involved in COOP+. The SRIA will also include input from the COOP+ designated Global Challenges (for more information on COOP+ Global Challenges:
http://www.coop-plus.eu/marine_workshop_invemar
). The SRIA will express the ambition of COOP+ in terms of all RIs participating in and associated with COOP+ with a specific focus on:
1) Global research and innovation challenges and needs in the mid-term (5-10 years)
2) Collaboration priorities, actions, instruments, resources, and an implementation timeline.
COOP+ will aim to have a final version of its SRIA complete for publication and dissemination at ICRI 2018 - 4th International Conference on Research Infrastructures (12
th
– 14
th
September 2018, Vienna).

OceanBestPractices Webinar
The AtlantOS/NSF/IOC Best Practice Working Group has been building an OceanBestPractices System to provide sustained, open access to ocean observation best practices. This is being done for you in collaboration with well-known networks and institutions. The objective is to provide an easy means of discovery and access to support comparison and broader implementation of our community best practices. A vital part of the implementation process is to ensure community engagement and value from the system, and so they would like to invite you to a one hour meeting on
Tuesday 8 May 2018 @ 07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT and 16:00 CEST
to bring you up-to-date with developments, demonstrate the new semantic search interface and discuss next steps and issues.
