Just before the Christmas holidays we had the second EC review of our iCamp project. Same procedure as every year: independent experts get all the documents  (deliverables) from the project that were produced during the year; they spend some sleepless nights before the review to go through all the papers (sorry again for submitting some rather long deliverables ;-)), and have a look at what is otherwise available in terms of prototype etc. and then we all meet and do some ppts to show the work; finally and luckily we also have some discussions;

It is really good to get the opinion of individuals who are not directly involved in the work, but who are experts on the subject and deal with similar questions.

And this time it has been especially pleasant as we have been congratulated on our good work. This review has been a nice finish for 2007 and it should be a good start for 2008.
 
One of the recommendations has been to improve our dissemination strategy and to spread the word about the nice things that we do in our project. So I hope that we will get together with some key people following similar approaches (e.g. the PLE approach) and join forces.
