How SHAREing works
SHAREing is organised around a set of thematic Work Packages that provide a structured yet flexible framework for delivering the project’s objectives. Through community-driven working groups, strategic goals are translated into concrete activities, outputs, and services that directly support the research and technical professional communities.
Working Groups and Subgroups
Each Work Package brings together a set of focused subgroups that address specific thematic areas. These subgroups identify community needs, define and prioritise tasks , and coordinate activities that contribute directly to the overall aims of SHAREing.
WP1
Performance Assessment
WP1.1 - Performance assessment
WP1.2 - Assessment methodology
WP1.3 - Testbeds
WP3
Professional Skills Training
WP3.3 - Develop e-learning content
WP3.4 - Organise training events
Working groups are open to the wider community. Regular subgroup webinars are announced and published on the SHAREing website, providing an open space to share expertise, and propose new tasks aligned with the project’s direction.
Consortium approvals
Tasks that receive consortium approval are formally published and made available for funding through the relevant Work Package pages.
Open Tasks and Aplications
Once approved and published, digital Research Technical Professionals (dRTPs) from consortium institutions may apply to carry out these tasks.
These tasks typically run for one to three months and may be funded for up to 100% full-time equivalent (FTE). In practice, many proposals span three months at a reduced workload, allowing teams to balance the task alongside other. Successful applications will include:- an estimate of the anticipated costs,
- a clearly defined timeframe,
- a justification demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed work, and
- a precise description of the expected deliverables.
Following this review process, SHAREing may formally commission the task by notifying the proposing team to proceed.
Tasks Wrap-up
Once commissioned, dRTP teams carry out the agreed work and contribute directly
to SHAREing’s overall objectives.
Outputs may take various forms, including technical or strategic reports,
training materials, the organisation of events or surveys, case studies, or
services delivered to the wider community. Upon submission of the agreed deliverables —
accompanied by updates to the SHAREing website — the administrative
office initiates the payment process.
The relevant working group is then asked
to assess whether the addressed task has been sufficiently covered and should
be removed from the active task list. In this way, completed work informs the
continuous refinement and definition of future tasks.
Propose your Own Tasks
dRTPs may also propose new tasks. Proposals are reviewed within the relevant Work Package and, if approved, become Open Tasks. Proposers have priority to lead the task, with detailed planning and costings completed at the formal bid stage.
