KI milliarder 6th December 2024
Introduction/general (Eirik)
Conclude that we delay the deadline for sending to partners/institutes/CERN until THURSDAY NOON.
Executive summary
Table of deliverables for each work package
Resources for/from institutions
Should we add to the table of people how much each person needs to be “bought”
Yes, need to add two new columns: NFR contribution and in-kind contribution [ADDED by Eirik]
Are: before putting in a full budget need to see how many people are envisioned
Summing up the numbers of FTEs from each work package so far comes to too much, need to be reduced/normalised and clarified how much each person will be in-kind &c
Anna: numbers by Monday evening?
Matthias: how does it work with own contribution? Profs will devote some work time (e.g. 20%) to the centre?
Anna: need to argue with the institute, once the project has been approved. If people who are paid from NorCC are moved to this project the project has to pay - NorCC can’t pay. Institute can only pay for time of professors
Are: good understanding of the own-contributions from the different institutions.
Updated excellence not yet in place [NOW IN PLACE]
As much as possible should be done by Thursday for sending to HVL, final draft unlikely by Thursday
Risks should be listed in general and for specific work packages, but then be collected together in a table/general subsection
Svein: looking at this from the outside, hard to understand the vision
Based on the old Excellence part, new version to be added after this meeting
Need to add a “teasers” early on. Should also be (partly) addressed by the new version.
Ali: Need to have deliverables in a table
Farid: Need to have milestones
Will come in a Gantt chart, Nadia working on it [PLEASE SEE HER EMAIL]
Each work package should put in start/end dates
Need an executive summary / project summary
Global editing (style, structure) can wait until the end
Document is too long so we will need some strategy to condense it. Please edit with a view to shrinking it…
Section on data and computing power needs to be addressed: James will look at it
Work package 0
Added text to the overleaf. Anna added comments in red
Should be in reasonable shape by Thursday
Work package 1
Getting closer to a draft, need to add references &c
Deliverables and risks aren’t done yet
Will add existing text by Thursday
Work package 2
James/Eirik working on it over the past days, getting into a decent shape
Still some things missing but should be there by Thursday
Risks/deliverables
Work package 3
Defined three tasks, need to add references, deliverables &c
Should be possible for a reasonable version by Thursday
Estimate of PhDs/PDs?
For task 1,2: 1-2 PhD
Task 3: 1-2 PhDs
Maximum 3 PhDs
Work package 4
Added a new task (Equinor), added a task
Need to add references &c
Need to do some synchronisation between 2 and 4
Quite a lot of risks… maybe best to comment them out for the HVL draft
Work package 5
Working on integrating the parts together
Will add deliverables and risks
Task 5c: should do some merging with work package 2
Work package 6
No-one present
They are working on the text, will discuss at HVL
Implementation chapter (Therese)
Please read, will need some adjustments following the excellence part
Table with postdocs &c needs to be in this part, not in task 0. Anna will move it.
Didn’t yet write measures for exploitation and communication. Think of something to fill in there
Organisation
Collaboration with other work packages
UiB initiative
Others?
How to collaborate with other centres should be generic, not specific, because we don’t know which centres will be funded
Can reference WP0 in this part
Work package distribution as shown in the slides
Need to fit Dieter and ALICE in…? Tracking?
Need to be careful about putting things in that are just for CERN
Needs to be discussed URGENTLY
Are: wise to have two work package conveners, distributed across institutes
Are: Heidi suggested that administrative coordinator should be at NTNU and the educational should be at UiO to work with Eli in NorCC.
Farid: should be demonstrated that it is the best place where each person should be, not where existing centres are
Are: HVL should have the deputy leader
Are: total number of project leaders will be greater than 15 so some CVs will not be submitted; need to be strategic about which CVs are sent in. Should include some professors from NTNU
Anna: If you send a CV then you need to say what the person will do… Need a role for each CV
Therese: named person from each task as well as work package leaders
Farid: need to take account of conflict of interest. WP leader can also lead a task, but avoid (e.g.) having people in the board who execute the work
Summary
Numbers of people (NFR/own) from each institution by Monday evening
Each participating institute needs to write a letter of intent, as does CERN. Also NextGen project. WLCG? IT@CERN?
Eirik and Are will look over the document on Tuesday
Please upload one slide summarizing the number of PhDs/postods/researchers to be funded by the centre for each university and to which WP they belong. Add also PhDs/postods/researchers from in-kind contributions.
