Policy Component of ICEDIG Project Website

Introduction This report summarises the outputs of Deliverable 7.1 under Work Package 7 – the policy component of the ICEDIG project website. As described in Milestones 41-43, this deliverable comprises a dashboard showing outputs from the institutional policy analysis carried out in Task 7.1. This, along with further contextual information, has been embedded in a new section of the existing ICEDIG website (www.icedig.eu). The overall goal of WP7 is to “examine national, European and international policy commitments, and best practices to help design a comprehensive actionable policy framework for the development and operation of the new infrastructure”. This deliverable consolidates these aims by synthesising policy data and presenting it in an accessible way. The dashboards, alongside their descriptions and interpretations, provide a starting point for identification of common priorities and gaps between institutions. The web page also provides a platform where useful shareable policy documentation can be stored in the future, which may aid other institutions in their policy-writing decisions and strategies. This report illustrates these additions to the website and describes future planned developments to the web content. The new policy area is linked to both from the front page of the website, and from within the “Deliverables” page. Direct links to the pages are as follows: https://icedig.eu/content/policy-analysis https://icedig.eu/content/policy_methodology https://icedig.eu/content/policy-data-descriptions-insight
