| Description | Developments so far include: 1) Communication within consortia, among consortia and with external actors through development of a programme website, with separate portals for each consortia (BALI-ECOFOR-LOMBOK. 2) 4 postgraduate studentships awarded to scholars through Universiti Malaysia Sabah, working in collaboration with the SAFE project and SEARRP. 3) Dissemination campaigns including blogs, newsfeeds and videos of our researchers in the field shown on consortia websites. 4) Appointment of a Programme Data Manager(DM). DM has set up database of all HMTF consortia members and their roles with respect to datasets. Data creators and processors have been contacted, asked to identify datasets and provide documentation and metadata information. Primary datasets identified: LOMOBOK - majority; BALI - in progress and ECOFOR - to be identified during upcoming meeting at Oxford. 5) Successful meeting on data sharing involving SAFE, LOMBOK and BALI at Imperial College Silwood Park in February 2016, discussing and resolving overlapping and complementary research objectives and data gaps. 6) HMTF programme management meetings held every 2 months involving PI's from BALI, ECOFOR and LOMBOK. |
