Innovation and Impact Hub (Impact Plan)

--- tags: - 'planning' --- # Innovation and Impact Hub (Impact Plan) :::info **About this Note** This note will be used to plan and track the development of a selection of projects for the Innovation and Impact Hub team, with the following objectives in mind: 1) Identify routes to impact for the TRIC-DT and the Innovation and Impact Hub 2) Document progress in an open and version-controlled environment 3) Use this open and collaborative documentation to assist the production of impact statements, case studies, or other publications (e.g. briefings). ::: :::warning The Hub is responsible for supporting the TRIC-DT’s goal of democratising access to digital twin technology by providing open and reproducible computational and social tools freely accessible to the UK research and innovation communities. As such, a primary role and objective of the Hub will be to coordinate and consolidate research activity in the three challenge areas of the TRIC-DT, and ensure flow of tools, methods and techniques between areas, as appropriate. The Hub will achieve this objective using a variety of complementary activities, organised into four broad (and interconnected) themes: - Knowledge Commons: an open and accessible repository of skills and training resources and documentation to help researchers and stakeholders understand the digital twin ecosystem, including the development of exemplar case studies that can support communication, engagement and pedagogy - Collaboration Infrastructure: development and maintenance of tools and practices, such as knowledge sharing events or research and innovation fora, to help coordinate research and ensure interoperability and usability of collaborative techniques between challenge areas, drawing on established Turing community-building processes. - Stakeholder Engagement: structured and systematic identification, analysis, and involvement of stakeholders, including those that are under-represented within the digital twins ecosystem to support network and project management - TRIC-DT Network Support: general services for the TRIC-DT network ranging from communication of events and opportunities (e.g. funding opportunities, events and networking) to regular check-ins and support functions. ::: `research and innovation infrastructure` `skills, training and capabilities` `stakeholder & community engagement`  ## TEA-DT ### 3-months Milestones - [x] Demo booth at AIUK - [x] Design and delivery of booth _Build and execute a strategic outreach plan for the TEA-DT project_ _/ Gather stakeholder interest in argument-based assurance through & connect with applications_ - [x] Co-creation of project highlight (cardiac digital twin health equity case) with PDRAs ### 6-months Milestones - [ ] Building Community infrastructure (e.g. online guide to using platform, sharing cases, developing assurance cases) `RCM/PMU support` `technical development` _Managing the technical development of the TEA platform_ `research and innovation infrastructure` - [ ] Product compendium `technical development` `research and innovation infrastructure` - [ ] Publishing case studies & project highlights on the TEA platform (eg cardiac digital twin health equity case) `template` `developer` `skills, training and capabilities` - [ ] Researching & Designing argument patterns on Gemini Principles `scoping research` `technical development` `skills, training and capabilities` - [ ] ~~Delphi study for participatory design of DTs guide `scoping research` `funding`~~ - [ ] Conceptual brief on Knowledge graphs and assuring explainability in digital twins.`scoping research` `skills, training and capabilities` ### Longer-term / Aspirational - [ ] Repository of argument patterns `skills, training and capabilities` - [ ] Policy report/white paper documenting value of TEA platform in health and healthcare context, with emphasis on fairness and health equity. `comms` #### notes - [name=Chris] All of the above milestones are still relevant (unless marked out), and many are in progress. - Who is the community we are targeting with the guidance/product compendium? - stakeholder work was started but needs to be connected to guidance - How will we share cases publicly through the platform? - platform capacity to host cases will be prioritised. - are there resources to populate a library? unclear ## AutoEmulate / Kalle ### 3-months Milestones - [x] AIUK Lightning talk ### 6-months Milestones - [x] Release of a version on PyPI _facilitating and optimising the project management process to ensure a well-paced iterative workflow_ `research and innovation infrastructure` - [ ] Well documented API _collaborate with REG team to ensure API documentation is comprehensive, accurate, and accessible_ `research and innovation infrastructure` - [ ] Worked exmaples / Tutorials _work with PDRAs (SME) to draft and improve worked, real-world examples that showcase the key use cases of the software package_ - [ ] Stakeholder map _identifying application opportunities for the software package_ `stakeholder & community engagement` ### Longer-term / Aspirational - [ ] Building AutoEmulate into a platform for the wider community to share and discover emulators. #### Notes - RCM will start funded within cvdnet. Can start with a stakeholder map for health digital twins ecosystem. - link for emulators to AI explainability community ## CSIRO Collaboration ### 3-months Milestones - [x] AIUK Fringe Event panel on responsible AI for climate-resilient health policies - design & delivery `stakeholder & community engagement` - [x] International workshop session on responsible AI `stakeholder & community engagement` ## Connected Places DT Hub ### 3-months Milestones - [x] Roadmap and engagement plan `partnerships` `stakeholder & community engagement` - [ ] Presentation and briefing for onboarding new members of the community `engagement` `stakeholder & community engagement` ### 6-months Milestones - [ ] Exemplary assurance case for Gemini Principles `scoping research` `technical development` `skills, training and capabilities` - [x] Community survey on gemini principles-based best practices `stakeholder & community engagement` - [ ] Data management plan for survey data `research and innovation infrastructure` ## TRIC-DT Knowledge Commons ### 3-months Milestones - [x] Create Jupyter Book on TRIC-DT Repository ### 6-months Milestones - [ ] Setup community infrastructure for open collaboration `research and innovation infrastructure` - [ ] Have TRIC-DT PDRAs add explainer about their own projects. ### Longer-term / Aspirational - [ ] Integrate seminar series into development of knowledge commons pages - [ ] Communicate and build awareness of the TRIC-DT Hub model and ways of working (e.g. open and reproducible science and innovation). `stakeholder & community engagement` - [ ] Develop a repository of skills and training materials. `skills, training and capabilities` - [ ] Have multiple connection points for research community to engage (e.g. PDRAs showcasing work-in-progress). `stakeholder & community engagement` ## Other activities & Future plans ### 6-months Milestones - [ ] Seminar Series _identifying overlap in research topics/methods & organizing structured discussions around those_ `stakeholder & community engagement` - [ ] Knowledge Share events _Organise and facilitate knowledge-sharing events featuring TRIC-DT's open-source research software._ `stakeholder & community engagement` - [ ] Turing Way chapter on the importance of open project management in fostering trust and innovation strategies (with examples from digital twin technologies). _Adopt and integrate open project management strategies in ongoing open source research software projects & write up lessons learned_ ### Longer-term / Aspirational - [ ] Engaging with TWINE programme - [ ] MAS-DT (NOC) Workshop with E&S. - [x] TWINE involvement in TEA-DT workshops #### Health and Healthcare Digital Twins (PPIE and Survey) - [ ] Public Survey _Gain understanding of current attitudes towards DTs._ - [ ] Engagement event (e.g. patient panel and workshops) _Build trust and awareness among members of the public in DTs._ `stakeholder & community engagement` - [ ] Exploratory research on standard and capability gaps in industry, providing actionable insights for academic research. `research and innovation infrastructure` ### Unsorted - [ ] Planning for CVD-Net - [ ] Transition TEA-DT project into new objectives and foci - [ ] Release public beta of the TEA platform - [ ] IceNet - [ ] DT Base - [ ] Persona and Stakeholder Mapping to help structure skills/training - [ ] working group on DT pipelines - [ ] [name=Tim] AIUK demo on tooling for data provenance - how can this fit into TRIC-DT tools? - [ ] suggestion to link milestones to GitHub tickets!
