[Fiware-fi-city] FI-City - WP5 and comments

[Juanjo Hierro]

Dear all,

  I have drop out Manuel Oliveira from the response to this email because Highskillz is not partner in the proposal.

  I'm copying the fiware-fi-city mailing list instead.   Please use the mailing list for all further communication on the proposal regarding matters like this one which is general.

  Now, I'll answer between lines of your message.

Dear Juanjo,

Thank you for the clear vision and project concept you provided during our telco today.

We noticed  an inconsistency  in the draft of the proposal that you share with us .In the  Workplan , the Work Packages List describes  WP6 as being "Exploitation and Dissemination" and WP7 "Communication". However   the Work Packages interdependencies table  presents WP6  Exploitation and WP7 - Communication, Collaboration and Dissemination. Please  clarify this situation.

  Yes.   In the initial draft that I generated, I thought about creating two WPs following the standard structure of WPs that we have followed in all our proposals to FP7 calls, that is having a WP on "Exploitation" and another WP on "Communication, Collaboration and Dissemination".   However, I found that section 2.2 "Measures to maximize impact" is structured into sections 2.2.1 "Dissemination and Exploitation of Results" and 2.2.2 "Communication activities" in the template for Horizon 2020 proposals provided by the EC so it came to my mind that maybe this was a more convenient structure to address evaluators of the proposal.    However, I only made the change on the table listing the WPs but not in section 3.1.6 thus leading to confusion.

 I believe that we should try to accomodate to the WP template and have a WP on "Dissemination and Exploitation of Results"  and another one on "Communication".   The collaboration aspects (e.g., liason with projects related to FI-WARE) should be placed in "Dissemination and Exploitation of Results".

Alfamicro has a very  good  experience and  reputation  on interactive  dissemination, networking and communication with all the stakeholders ,namely the cities ,reason why we propose to lead the WP -Communication, Collaboration and Dissemination. Exploitation could also  be a task of this Work package. Gamification of the processes to engage and motivate the relevant stakeholders can also be developed under this WP.

  I'm fine with you leading the "Dissemination and Exploitation of Results" but I found the text you provided in section 2.2.1.1 rather generic (indeed referring to another project called "MyDreamCity" ... did you copy&paste from there :-) ... I believe that we have to come up with a WP structure that emphasizes how dissemination activities (e.g., participation in selected events and workshops) is indeed part of a carefully designed exploitation plan.

  Note that Communication will be handled separated in a WP lead by Ogilvy.

  I will come with a proposal on how to structure this WP in the coming hour or so.


We also propose to have a strong involvement on  the WP - Open Call Management.

  This is fine but TID, and I believe that Engineering, wants to get strongly involved.  I guess Alfamicro can lead tasks 5.2 and maybe 5.1.   I believe task 5.3 should be led by TID or Engineering.


I am attaching  our first comments and our contribution to  WP5 - Open Call Management. This morning we will complete and will send to you  the WPx - Communication, Collaboration and dissemination. Please advise.

  Best regards,

-- Juanjo

Kind regards,
Álvaro Oliveira
