Dear all,
I attach the early draft of the dissemination deliverable I plan to discuss with you tomorrow - for reference and in case you want to have a look at it before the meeting.
Also, there are two opportunities for dissemination, I would like us to briefly talk about.
1. https://www.mis4tel-conference.net/organization/committee (Marcelo)
2. https://oeweek.oeglobal.org (Thea)
See you all tomorrow,
Thea

Dear All,
Thank you for your feedback and comments on the draft JCD shared with you all in November.
LNU’s DPO and lawyer have incorporated changes to the revised attached draft, dated 19122022, and added two annexes.
Their responses (in bold text) to questions can be found in attachment 4.
Please send any further feedback to the draft JCD, including your additions for Annexes 1 and 2 by Monday 9th January.
Please also check the name of the person who would sign the JCD for your organisation on pp 8-14.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Dear all
Following on from the WP7 meeting last week, I have developed a series of
data collection instruments and protocols for the school interventions,
which are stored in a folder
<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YzuyDATghL1RnkyQxPchAWeU6WTVu1QP?us…>in
WP7. This includes all the information you should need to apply for ethical
approval, such as sample informed consent/assent documents, overarching
evaluation protocol (data preparation and analysis to come), surveys,
interviews, teacher reflective diary and documents detailing the protocol
for each form of data collection.
All partners involved in interventions this year should review the
documents, add comments and make suggested edits *by 6th March. *I am also
happy to receive any direct email queries.
Please complete this Doodle
<https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/dLZkGMra>by *1st March *to
arrange a review meeting to further discuss data collection. Please ensure
at least one member of your team, involved in the interventions,
professional development or co-design workshops completes the Doodle.
Unfortunately due to other responsibilities I am unable to arrange a
meeting prior to the 7th March and the 10th is the OMT.
Any partner waiting to apply for ethical review can use all of the
documents in their current state as amendments will only be minor - aka no
new data collection instruments and no new lines of questioning. If you
have any specific questions about ethics I would be happy to help, so
please get in touch directly.
Hope you have a lovely weekend.
All the best,
Carina
Dear All,
I hope this email finds you well.
We are working on the deliverable report<https://docs.google.com/document/d/18ujY_7CJ1RIaWWc3s39-irRo4_cATqsP/edit> pertaining to Task 3.1, which is ‘Report on the educational resources and supporting material for students’. At this point, we would like to request each partner to send us a paragraph on process of co-designing materials with teachers to produce activity plans. Equally, we would like to request you to send us your activity plans so that we can retrieve some necessary information from there (such as what specific games and designs that teachers are using, etc.) and state them in the deliverable report that we are preparing. If the activity plans are not ready yet, could you let us know by when you can submit them to us?
Wishing you a lovely weekend!
We are looking forward to hearing from you soon.
With warm regards,
Sagun and Thea
Dear All
fyi - with apologies for any spam.
This is unlikely to affect our project but be aware the EC will not be funding any invoices etc. related to Hungary from 16/12/2022 until further notice.

Subject: ATTENTION: Avoid funding from your EU grant to Hungarian entities affected by Council Implementing Decision 2022/2506
Europa / Funding & Tenders Portal notification
Dear coordinator,
This is to inform you that Council Implementing Decision 2022/2506 might directly impact the implementation of your EU grant. This Decision stipulates that legal commitments must not be entered into with any public interest trusts established on the basis of the Hungarian Act IX of 2021 or any entity maintained by such a public interest trust. This applies as of 16 December 2022 for as long as the measures are in place. This means that it is prohibited to enter into legal commitments with such entities involving Union funding. This prohibition applies to the entire chain of Union financing.
As concerns your grant, this means that no further legal commitments involving Union funding can be entered into by you or any other beneficiaries (or affiliated entities) in your grant with third parties concerned by this decision. This concerns legal commitments involving Union funding related to e.g.: the purchase of goods, works or services; subcontracting; financial support to third parties; equipment renting or leasing; personnel seconded against payment. In case that these measures would hinder the implementation of the actions under your grant you must immediately inform the granting authority. In this case please turn to your Project Officer without delay.
Please check also the related list of Frequently Asked Questions<https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/suppo…>. It is progressively updated as soon as further guidance is available. You can find an indicative – non-exhaustive – list of affected entities (i.e. public interest trusts and entities maintained by them) under this link<https://njt.hu/jogszabaly/2021-9-00-00>.
Please inform immediately all beneficiaries and affiliated entities in your grant, to ensure that no EU funding goes to concerned Hungarian entities. We will inform you once there is a decision on the end of these measures.
Thank you very much for your help.
If you want to change the frequency of receiving notifications with importance "Normal", you can do it in the Funding & Tenders Portal > My Notifications > Preferences
Dear Ahmed,
Regarding the DMP, NKUA provided some information a long time ago. I hope
it was the correct drive document or if it was an older version you have
found the changes and transferred them to the new one.
If you need any specific input from NKUA that is still missing please let
us know
Best,
Marianthi

Dear all
In the context of writing D9.1, I realise that we are missing the views of
stakeholders on the ETs (which we said we would collect). Obviously we are
getting responses from students and teachers through our own activities
with them and the WP7 evaluation. But it was Thea's line of argument in the
ethics session on Friday that really brought this to my attention. So 2
questions:
1) Do any of you know of any pertinent literature on teacher, student,
parent and/or policy views on ET in education?
2) To what extent is this being covered in your own WPs? My feeling is that
this is a cross-cutting issue so we might each be gathering 'bits' but a)
how do we make this a cohesive whole and b) how do we get outside our
bubble of enthusiastic teachers?
It would be great to include some literature on this in D9.1 and have a
brief description of how we are (already) going to collect data on this to
inform ethical decision making.
@Marcelo Milrad <marcelo.milrad(a)lnu.se> this may be a point of
collaboration with the Sister Projects.
All thoughts welcome and feel free to share this with others in your
organisation!
All the best,
Carina
