'''How to maneuver the November meeting discussions/work if we are something like 35 persons with 2 rather big rooms at our disposal (and perhaps smaller groups can find some space in the surroundings as well)? Having a common discussion all along might be difficult (or not so productive). Depending on how we divide the sessions, one may start thinking about how to compose the guidelines out of your material.'''

==Sharing results==
 +
* The CTSC is hosting all cases to the FORSYS wiki
 +
* The CSTC has submitted a presentation proposal for the final FORSYS conference in April 2013

* The CSTC has also proposed a case synthesis journal article for the FORSYS conference issue of the Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research
 +
* Other ideas???
  
−
Here are some ideas for your feedback:
+
 
−
*[30 minutes] begin with a brief common presentation and discussion on progress to date. Outline tasks for meeting subgroups (overall task is to build more details on framework for conducting case studies). Answer any general questions.
+
==DONE==
−
*[1.5 hours] Break into ~4 subgroups with ~8 people each, trying to get even representation from each WG in each, including one of us in each (because it looks like case studies have already been discussed by each WG in Greece, now we could try to synthesize across WGs). All groups would have the same assignment: to review the current state of the case study framework, provide feedback, and develop more detail.
+
===After the Leuven 2011 meeting===
−
*[30 min] Groups would report a summary of their suggestions back to whole group
+
* Synthesized Leuven discussion and updated [[Case Study Guidelines]] on the wiki
−
*[30 min] Synthesis discussion
+
* Developed semantic wiki form for [[STSM Opportunities]]
 +
 
 +
===At Leuven 2011 meeting===
 +
* Give case study introductory presentation
 +
* Each STC member leads a subgroup on assigned task
 +
* Develop & present a time line for the work on the case studies  
 +
** incl. meeting of the STC
 +
** incl. clear division of responsibilities
 +
 
 +
===Before the Leuven 2011 meeting===
 +
*Develop two (or more) documents:  
 +
** [[Case Study Notes by Research Phase]]: organize information already generated about the case study guidelines
 +
** [[2011-11_Leuven_Case_Study_Agenda]]
 +
*Gather further information on case studies (STC sends request to country representatives)

Manage case study contributions

  • Solicit case studies from the Forsys network
  • Review and comment on case studies submitted

Use of published literature

  • Assuming institutionalization of the wiki and not of the Cost Action per se, it does not matter whether a forsys member has delivered a case or a case study. Of course it does for the record of the Action, so a separate tag “Forsys member” should do.
  • This is a good point. The initial thinking is that these will be stored in different data structures: the wiki for forsys cases and a literature database (maybe Mendeley.com for the literature). However, somehow we would need to link from each to the guidelines they relate to.
  • Investigate possible technologies for managing/sharing case study literature

Categorization and searching of cases

  • The case study semantic form
    • tags each case with the general Category:Case
    • uses the other fields in the case form as tags/categorizies (e.g. Country, Decision phase)
  • Cases can be searched/filtered using custom semantic queries or pre-build semantic query pages

  • Synthesis of the cases will focus on their recorded lessons, and how these lessons contribute to the overall FORSYS lessons/guidelines

Sharing results
