  • Define the integrated list of strategic goals.
  • Define the metrics to measure progress towards the goals by identifying a set of indicators.
  • Organize a workshop to that discuss metrics and its quantification (including SDG) (WS1).
  • Populate the Socio-Economic and Environmental Information Needs (SEE IN) Knowledge Base (formerly User Requirements Registry) with information on the strategic goals and the metrics.
  • Define a process for monitoring progress towards the strategic goals.

As part of Task 2.1, the project organized WS1 to discuss metrics and its quantification. The Workshop page for WS1 is available at http://www.gstss.org/2015_Norfolk_3rd.
