Program management and scientific networking

南大西洋是一个被动边缘系统的典型地区。推进我们对这个系统的理解-从中生代中期开始到今天-是德国优先研究计划（SPP）1375的目标。该计划的成功需要来自地球动力学、地震学、沉积学、岩石学、海洋学等广泛领域的不同科学家群体的密切合作。对这项工作进行有效的科学管理至关重要。为此，预计将采取一些行政手段：研究项目仍将按专题领域组织。正如在战略优先事项第一阶段已经实施的那样，定期专题研讨会将是推动各领域内合作的主要工具。.跨领域的交流也将通过年度一般计划科学会议来确保。此外，该计划将通过欧洲地球科学联盟（EGU）的地球动力学和联盟会议以及美国地球物理联盟（AGU）的特别会议保持其广泛的国际知名度。在年轻科学家之间建立网络，使他们能够有效地超越传统的学科界限，这仍然是一个特别重要的管理重点。将采取一系列措施，特别是暑期学校，支持对青年科学家的培训。管理活动仍将得到一名坚定的科学管理人员的支持，他将与协调员和指导委员会密切合作。管理员将负责SPP 1375互联网平台http://www.sample-spp.de的内部和外部通信，数据集，模型结果，文档和出版物的交换。该平台目前正在使用中，以内容管理系统为基础，允许用户根据元数据结构规则自主访问和输入。该网站由计划协调局维护。

The South Atlantic is the type locality of a passive margin system. Advancing our understanding of this system - from its inception in the Mid-Mesozoic to the present day - is the aim of the German Priority Research Program (SPP) 1375. Success of the program requires an intensive collaborative effort from a diverse group of scientists coming from a wide range of fields including geodynamics, seismology, sedimentology, petrology, oceanography and others. Effective scientific management of this effort is crucial. To this end a number of administrative tools are foreseen: The research projects will still be organized into thematic domains. As already implemented in the first phase of the SPP, regular topical workshops will be the main tool to advance cooperation within domains. . Exchange across domains will be also ensured by yearly general program science meetings. In addition the program will maintain its broad international visibility through special sessions in the Geodynamics and Union sessions of the European Geosciences Union (EGU), as well as the American Geophysical Union (AGU). The networking among junior scientists to enable them to work effectively beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries will still represent a particularly important management focus. Training of the young scientists will be supported by an array of measures, in particular by summer schools. The management activities will still be supported by a committed scientific manager who will work closely with the coordinators and the steering committee. The administrator will keep responsibility for the SPP 1375 internet platform http://www.sample-spp.de for internal and external communication, exchange of data sets, model results, documentation and publications. The platform is currently in use and is based on a content management system, allowing autonomous user access and input according to rules for metadata structure. The site is maintained at the program coordination bureau.
