GOVST-VI meeting, Q Station, Sydney, 2-6 November 2015

GODAE OceanView Finances (1)

GODAE OceanView project office is funded through contributions

  • f the Patrons’ Group member organisations

Contributions are received as

  • Direct funding (annual)
  • In kind contributions
  • Exceptional contributions (e.g. summer school)
slide-21
SLIDE 21

GOVST-VI meeting, Q Station, Sydney, 2-6 November 2015

  • Project office currently running at 80% of my time
  • Project office funding currently only secure until March

2016

  • Current level of funding is low which is likely to result in

reduction of working hours next year

  • However, willingness to fund the PO is there and some

sponsors have confirmed continued support

  • PO needs to highlight this issue with funders to persuade

them to continue their support

GOVST-VI meeting, Q Station, Sydney, 2-6 November 2015

  • Alternative process to increase the PO effectiveness has

been proposed by Pierre-Yves Le Traon

  • Funders could consider instead of providing direct financial

support to provide staff time to support the PO effort

  • This would allow sharing of work load and more efficient

support for GOV

  • Broader expertise
  • Faster response to requests
  • Reduced travel costs
  • Option to be explored
