B: Establish NeIC and cross-border training programmes

This is the first pilot activity within the competence mapping exercise carried out by the Pool competencies working group.

The initial ambition is to get more value out of investments in training by filling empty seats at existing trainings, by disseminating information on these trainings to Nordic stakeholders.

The scope is:

  • trainings and academic courses
  • of interest to staff and researchers
  • in e-infrastructure and e-science.

The purpose is to to raise competence in e-science and e-infrastructure and help boost research excellence.

The Pool competencies working group has good knowledge of trainings in the Nordic e-infrastructure organisations, which mainly focus on matters relating to high performance or throughput computing.

In order to cover the full scope of this training coordination effort, which includes the full of end user interests, the working group will collaborate with providers and coordinators of training in other organisations.

The proposed vehicle to communicate information on upcoming trainings is to enter the information into a public google calendar, which can then be displayed for example on the NeIC wiki or webpage or wherever necessary, and people who take a specially interested in training matters are invited to add it to their calendar application of choice and access it by any method that suits them.

The main mechanism for end user outreach is initially through the normal email lists that the national e-infrastructure providers are already using for their training announcements, which can then be supplemented with the information collected through the Nordic training calendar.

C: Make NeIC more attractive to competent personnel

After investigating the current state of art within the Nordic countries and in other places, a survey of contracted staff, followed by another survey of the employment sites will be drafted, agreed on, conducted and evaluated. This will be followed by an internal NeIC XT Workshop thinking about improvement potential and drafting an internal conclusion document (“what”), which will be circulated among the XT and possibly a few other stakeholders. The final public deliverable of this activity is a policy based on the conclusion document (“how”).
