The goals are as follows:

• Progress of project relative to planning.
• Innovation, research, deliverables, eStep.
• Identify key success stories/messages to share with key opinion formers.
• Ensure efficient use of engineer resources, identify bottlenecks and areas to improve.
• Financial status.
• Look for ways to extend collaborations.
• Consider project legacy and post-funding support.
• Potential interaction with other eScience Center projects.

The standard agenda for this 1.5 hour meeting is:
