Conclusions ESSnet workshop 2011(Section 10 of final report)• Bottom-up vs. Top-down approaches
Should ESSnets follow a general strategy (and if so, which strategy?) or focus on specific needs?
• Communication, collaboration and coordinationEspecially projects with similar content(Thematic workshops; support from Eurostat project managers; Steering Groups.)
• Centres of Competence and knowledge transferThe last link in the chain, ensuring the sustainability of results.
• Administrative burden

2012 assessment report – findings
ESSnet Workshop 2012 Rome

5
Coordination problems (“A tendency of fragmentation of ESSnet projects is still visible”)– within large projects– between ESSnet projects– between ESSnet and other projects– lack of exchange with other disciplines/areas
But also good examples:+ EGR and Profiling
Scientific aspects– lacking in certain “architecture” ESSnet projects
(“However, it is not necessary so that an ESSnet action must have a TTK aspect”)+ impressive in other “architecture” ESSnet projects
(as well as certain “sectoral” ESSnet projects)

Cost/benefit analysis– “Costs/benefits of implementation are very seldom
quantified”
Contribution to the ESSNot surprisingly:+ “Architecture” ESSnet projects are generally viewed as
contributing well to standardisation/harmonisation– “sectoral” projects are assessed to have a relatively
narrow impact on the ESS as a whole

2012 ESSnet communication survey

• Invitation to all ESSnet portal users• Response rate < ½ % (23 / 500) Useful for hypothesis generation
• Other interesting survey initiatives(no managerial link with Eurostat)

2012 ESSnet comm. survey – findings

• General satisfaction (generalisable?)
• Internet fora• “interesting and useful, but…”
Lack of time, email alerts needed, lack of awareness, too many existing fora, lack of purpose.
• Suggestion: Discussion “leader” for each forum• Reflection: Continuous discussion won’t happen;
“leader” to launch discussion when needed.
• The portal should have a very brief summary on its home page about recent ESSnet activities.

• ESSnet newsletter welcomed. Suggestions:• Thematic summaries of ESSnets• New calls for proposals for ESSnet projects• What’s new: Short summaries of deliverables and meetings. • What to expect in the next few months: deliverables, meetings• Notification service on the portal, with possibility to subscribe.• First newsletter issue: Summary of ESSnets and how they fit
into the ESS strategy.(Subsequent issues could then focus on individual ESSnets and how they could be useful to different NSIs)

Plenty of input…
…so what has been done?
Eurostat
New ESSnet strategy(ESSC 2012/13/2/EN)
Adopted by the ESSC (24 May 2012):1. New type of ESSnet projects: ”Top-down”
projects (”Vision Implementation stream”)2. Centres of Competence3. The normal (”bottom-up”) stream remains
open

• Focus on a few projects bringing high value added to the Vision implementation
• Results should be generic enough to be reusable in other contexts
• Measurable contribution to common ESS infrastructure and implementation of the ESS vision

• The ”top-down” ESSnet projects will be the main instrument for collaborative work in the ESS in the ESS VIP projects
• The ”top-down” part of the ESSnet programme is part of the ESS VIP programme (for 2013: SIMSTAT and Validation … and ESBRs?)
• Same principles as for the ESS VIPs: fewer, larger projects

2. Centres of Competence
• Principles endorsed by ESSC in (May 2012)• Pilot Centre of Competence in 2013 (DWH)
(Possibly additional pilot Centres in 2014)• Modalities to be elaborated
• Business case/technical conditions?• Organisational setup?• Human and financial resources?
… will be treated at tomorrow’s panel discussion!

3. ”Bottom-up” ESSnet projects
• All current ESSnet projects are ”bottom-up”• The ”bottom-up” stream is still open, but……priority given to the Vision Implementation Stream!
