SPARTA Governance Assessment Questionnaire for 2019

Context : SPARTA WP1 T1.4
Recipients : SPARTA consortium members
Distributor : Fraunhofer ISI
Due date : Dec 23, 2019
Introductory remarks -- please read carefully:

This questionnaire is an integral element of the governance assessment for the SPARTA pilot during its year one. The assessment is a mandatory part for the first project review (D1.2). It is carried out by Fraunhofer ISI.

It should not take more than some instants to fill out the form. The deadline for the assessment is approaching fast, so please take some minutes now to complete.

Pressing the 'Confirm' button at the bottom of the page translates the form input into a pre-formatted email. Recipient and subject line should already have been set when your email program spawns a window. Please do not manually change or amend anything! Simply press "Send" button in your email program -- this will transfer the content to Fraunhofer for further processing.

Note: You may have to explicitly allow the execution of scripts from local files for the HTML form to work: ("Allow blocked content" in Internet Explorer/Edge, "file" marked as temporary trusted source in Firefox with NoScript, etc).

Note: When pressing "Confirm", the email window might be spawned behind that of the web browser -- check this first if nothing appears to be happening after confirmation.

Thanks in advance for completing the form and returning it in a timely fashion! Due Date is Dec 23, 2019.
