Speaker
Description
This session will comprise of 2-3 presentations allowing solid time for fruitful discussion. The EGI.eu Strategy and Policy Team (SPT) will introduce the session outlining the overall goals while providing a short snapshot of recent achievements and upcoming activities. This will be followed by introducing the concept of having an EGI Knowledge Base and initial work of the EGI Compendium Virtual Team. Following this, the authors will present the results of the first edition of the EGI Compendium 2011 and preliminary findings of EGI Compendium 2012. The last presentation will highlight future plans and activities including the publishing of the EGI Compendium 2012 and plans on implementing an appropriate online tool. The session will conclude with allocated time for questions, answers and feedback. The discussion should ideally focus on getting NGIs and other stakeholders to provide feedback on how to improve the future editions of the Compendium, what would be the suitable EGI compendium tool and what are their suggestions and recommendations for the structure and the questions included in the next EGI questionnaire 2013.
