Motivation
•
•
Providing a map with basic info of all MP Nodes, containing information on the Nodes‘ activities, members and
contact information
Aim:
• Showing the extent of expertise in this group to the outside, but also within the Nodes
• Fostering communication and cooperation among MP Nodes
• Supporting funding activities: The document can be used by headquarters for e.g. acquiring new
funding and also by Nodes to communicate the extent of the network they are a part of
Source of Information
•
The 2009/2010 Nodes Survey conducted by the German Node
• The 2012 update using internet sources and individual email communication
•
Disclaimer: Some information still missing, some of the compiled information may be out-dated (as it is
sometimes difficult to get feedback)
Challenge: Keeping the information continually up to date
• Option: Integrate this in CIS
•

MAPPING COMMON INTERESTS
B A C K G R O U N D
Motivation
•
In mapping the mutual thematic interests of MP Nodes, we hope to spark off (and highlight possibilities for)
cooperation between Nodes
Sources of Information
•
In the 2009/2010 Nodes Survey conducted by the German Node, many Nodes provided information about the
projects they were working on or planning on working on
• The 2012 update using internet sources and individual email communication provided further information
• The individual projects were then allocated to more aggregated thematic clusters in order to identify
thematic overlaps and common interests
•
Disclaimer: Some information still missing, some of the compiled information may be out-dated (as it is
sometimes difficult to get feedback)
Challenge: Keeping the information continually up to date (and using it…)
• Option: Integrate this in CIS
