Dear Nigam,
Good afternoon.
As ELSA auditor for the SPARTA Project, I’m glad to invite you to contribute to the Second
Internal ELSA Audit.
You were selected due to your important role in, and contributions to, the SPARTA
project.
In this initiative you will join all WP Leaders, as well as 30 other SPARTANs, in
contributing to build and ensure our ELSA excellence.
For this audit initiative, you are invited to reply to this message until November 20th
with the required 26 ELSA ratings, as per the attached Excel file
“ELSA-Audit-control-objectives-M24-New-ELSA-Champions-2020-V2.3.xlsx”.
This task should take you approximately 1 hour.
In the SPARTA Project, the ELSA acronym stands for Ethical, Legal, and Societal Aspects,
in the context of “WP2 - Responsible innovation: ethical, legal and societal aspects”.
According to the description of work:
Cybersecurity research and innovations will have sustainable success only if ethical and
societal impacts – both short-term and long-term opportunities, constrains, and threats –
are assessed and prioritized alongside technical and commercial impacts.
Compatibility of innovations with the legal framework is obviously of fundamental
importance.
Last year’s ELSA audit results were reported in deliverable D2.2 (M12). This year’s
results will be reported in deliverable D2.4 (M24).
To complete your audit task, please follow the instructions below:
