Notes of WP8 Task Leaders' meeting

29/4/2020

Updates from WP leader:

- EOSC-hub week: Free, Online event between May 18-20. Multiple tracks. Please register at https://www.eosc-hub.eu/events/eosc-hub-week-2020-goes-virtual. There will be no WP8 meeting during the EOSC-hub week. We have our CC Task leaders' meeting with ~monthly periodicity. 

- Commercialisation support: Each CC leader to fill the WP9 commercialisation survey at https://forms.gle/sAZGzdVkSbtKhqE9A. (See my email from April 20 for details)

- Project extension: CCs did not indicate delay due to the COVID situation. Some of the other WPs did (incl. Early Adopter Pilots from Task 8.9), and we are waiting for the PMB decision to request the extension from the EC. D8.2, our final deliverable will have to be ready with the original deadline (i.e. full draft for external review by Mid-November).
