Project status

  • Presentation by John
  • The flexibility on the E3DDS project side throughout the years has been appreciated by the EISCAT_3D Headquarters.
  • For the E3DDS shepherd, that will attend to the affiliates page and function as a contact, this will be current PM until the end of Aug 2020 and then Anders Tjulin from EISCAT after then.
  • Good that the project group has changed the paradigm of the DO3 as the issues with the FSRUs continue. Cluster Management and Admin/User logins are useful subjects.

  • The draft is almost completed. There are no comments from SG at this stage.
  • A draft will be produced for May 27th for SG to review.

  • A draft will be produced for May 27th for SG to review.
  • John and Mattias to work on service proposal from NT1 to EISCAT_3D (before summer 2020).
  • EISCAT has not made any final decisions on how/who to run the services.

Final Report

  • A draft of this DO1.1 for June 3rd, 2020.
  • If no comments, approved June 17th, 2020.
  • A cover page to be made with the NeIC Final Report template and this is the report to go to the affiliates page.

Benefit Realization

  • A final update was made by the SG.
  • It is to be followed-up occasionally through the NeIC Affiliate programme and Provider Forum.

Lessons Learned

  • The flexibility shown by the E3DDS project is appreciated.
  • Planning in advance for such projects is crucial: Is it a development vs. discovery project?
  • Expectation management in the agility of the project: the initial goals to be compared to the deliverables and outcomes.
  • There was a NeIC survey by Gudmund in Jan 2020. Tomasz will follow up with Gudmund and Yasunobu.

AOB

  • There is the EU regulations for shipment of equipment i.e. Export control issue.
  • Is there any 'dual use' cases, i.e., exploitable by others for other purposes exposed in the public documents on the public web page?
  • There is nothing in the documents produced by E3DDS that can be argued to be dual use
  • The SG work has been a valuable experience over the years of these projects (E3DS and E3DDS).
