Project web site

After six month a D2Service website with all information of the project and of the project partner should be created by Next Energy. This website is maintened until the end of the project with publications and the statuses of the project. EXTERNAL WEBSITE: Elements of the external website o General information on the projects (scope and contents, partners, contacts, etc.) o Press news o Event calendar o E-mail registration for further information o Detailed information according project status. INTERNAL WEBSITE: Knowledge transfer and communication between the project participants will be continuous during the project via email, internal web-based communication tools, phones or regular and small-group meetings. They will also be accomplished by personal meetings and training aiming at generating strong relationships and trust between researchers. The internal web-based communication and dissemination tool will be used for project participants to share ideas and comments, whereby the distinct definition of roles and access rights allow open discussion in each sub-part of the project. The communication tool will be designed to be intimate and attractive “as if we were working neighbors”. Core elements of the internal website are: o Repository (Documents) o Archive (communications, correspondence,...) and history o Specific information to partners o WP specific project management (deliverables, last results, WP documentations…) o Support of coordination o Event calendar for coordinated delegation of project members. The internal website is a crucial part of the project management task. It organizes the communication flow among the project members taking into account their different roles and responsibilities and acts as the project repository. It will be built on the proven concept applied during the proposal set-up phase. The internal repository will host all relevant project documentation, i.e. any type of project report and financial overviews. Additional information on actualities, e.g. conference reports, latest RTD news, will be provided. Partners may use this internal information platform to announce items of general interest to other consortium members, e.g. inform on availabilities for staff exchanges, etc. The e-mail archive documents each mail sent to defined members lists. The member lists can be adapted by needs. The archive therefore documents a helpful history of the project information exchange. All meetings – their preparation and the documentation of results – will be documented on the internal website.
