Description
The aim of this deliverable is to provide project-wide metrics to track the progress
and impact of BioMedBridges. There are different areas in the project that offer
themselves to performance measurement via different, specific types of metrics:
- Grant fulfilment
- Technical metrics (data and services, tools, standards)
- Knowledge output and dissemination
- Outreach and inreach
- Training delivery and cross-RI workshops.
Metrics that will be useful for the assessment of the BioMedBridges project must
meet certain criteria in addition to those for basic project metrics. To document
impact of and progress within the project they must:
- enable the detection and documentation of what--in terms of technical solutions developed--works and what does not work, and which direction the development of services should take to make them truly useful for researchers
- document how RIs successfully “cluster”, i.e. move together and develop the common interfaces, technical infrastructure, and integration of the different scientific communities in order to enable metrics used for the assessment of BioMedBridges to provide powerful arguments for the project and the participating research infrastructures.
The scope and rationale of suitable metrics are laid out in this document and
specific metrics, their definitions and data collection procedures are listed in the
attachments.
