- Draft survey has been compiled based on policy recommendations current draft
- D3.3 work and survey presented at WP5/6 workshop in Amsterdam on 23 May – raises awareness of the work and encourages responses
- Survey Monkey survey will be compiled based on full set of draft recommendations once D3.3. finalised
- Workshop in consideration for next phase of work (D3.6) but would require budget

WP6 - EOSC Interoperability
- Workshop in Amsterdam with WP5, 2 and 3 (May 23/24):
- Discussion about overlap / interfaces between the e-infra architecture and the services architecture:
- definition of fundamental services in e-infra architecture to be communicated to / integrated in services architecture
- Common workflows as examples to give examples for the architectures (probably PanCancer, Pico2, Prominence)
- Usage of the common glossary
- WP6 progress discussion:
- Produce first version of the final e-infra architecture before the summer
- Identify individuals from our WP6 partners (and some external) to help with improving the document
- D6.5 “Interim Interoperability Testbed Report” has been reviewed and is now being finalised
- D6.6 (2nd Report on Data interoperability) should be on time, probably also D6.7
- Not sure whether we organise another data interoperability workshop

WP7 - Skills
- WP7 participated in the joint WP5/WP6 workshop. We confess that we didn't get the clarity we had hoped for on how current and future skills and training provision might be represented in the service architecture and catalogue. That uncertainty will be reflected in our forthcoming deliverable (D7.3) draft, to be completed next week. In the slightly longer term we have a consultation with RI training providers proposed, and will seek clarification from relevant WP5 task leads on the options we should invite their responses on
- WP7 would also appreciate WP5 feedback on selected parts of D7.3 (Skills and Capability Framework). More specifically, comments would be appreciated from relevant task leads on:
- the skills gaps we identified from the Science Demonstrator pilots, to check none are missing
- our user stories format, to check it is usable and potentially useful. It is intended for service providers to describe the skills that will be uplifted by using their service, and enable them to link to relevant learning resources
- WP7 have fed back comments on the mid-project review to the coordinators for consolidation and transmission to the project officer
- WP7 is selecting which future events we can support within the project budget; we are committed to a further workshop and the stakeholders forum but others (such as DI4R) may be dependent on partners who can also draw funding from EOSCHub, Openaire-advance and similar projects with a training component
- D7.3 is still on target to go to internal review in early June, although some sections are proving challenging
