NODE PROFILESC O N T E N T S


NODE PROFILES

B A C K G R O U N D

• 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

M o t i v a t i o n

S o u r c e o f I n f o r m a t i o n

• 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 INTERESTSB A C K G R O U N D

• In mapping the mutual thematic interests of MP Nodes, we hope to spark off (and highlight possibilities for) cooperation between Nodes

M o t i v a t i o n

S o u r c e s o f I n f o r m a t i o n

• 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
