Project Status Questionnaire

Questionnaire for ongoing SNS JU R&I projects

This questionnaire has been generated by the SNS OPS CSA project with the main goal of capturing the data for the SNS JU program Key indicators from the ongoing SNS JU R&I projects (operational for at least 1 year = Call 1 Projects). These indicators are based on capturing the achieved progress in each of the SNS projects and consolidating the results to facilitate the progress tracking of the SNS JU program as a whole and, specifically, to allow the preparation of relevant JU monitoring reports. This information may also be used to assist with the dissemination of project/program results, liaise with appropriate external stakeholders, and host/organize relevant events.

The consolidated information will be shared with the SNS organisational bodies including the Governing Board, Steering Board, Technology Board and Working Groups, to assist with progress tracking and the identification of potential synergies between SNS projects (according to interest).

The results of this questionnaire will also be shared with all SNS projects and the key findings and insights will be presented in a dedicated webinar and published in a public Deliverable of the SNS OPS project.

Your input is extremely important for the SNS programme as a whole, and we appreciate the time taken to fill in and deliver this information!

Note: Question 10 introduces the concept of “replicability” of use cases and the excel tool linked here allows this to be assessed as a number (for comparative purposes only). Please download this tool to assess the replicability level of your Trials or Pilots and if there are any questions or concerns, there is a contact email address for help within the excel.
