The project
will be managed and coordinated by a steering group
consisting of the project coordinator, the work package
coordinators and case coordinators for a total of ten
people. The project steering group will be responsible for
the overall flow of the multi-disciplinary scientific work.
It will oversee the scientific / technical evaluation and
facilitate the communication, feedback, and evaluation of
project issues and results within and between work package
and case study groups.
The steering group will meet six times during
the life of the project, in order to save funds three of
these meetings will take place at the partnership meetings
in Work Package 2. These meetings will not necessarily be at
six months distance from the partnership meeting but
meetings will be organized around important transitions in
the development of CEVIS products.
The project coordinator will carry out the
executive functions of the project as directed by the
steering group and the requirements of the Commission. This
will include making sure that the required reports are
collated, finalized and made available to the Commission
according to the contractual requirements. It will also
include the organization of meetings, facilitating
communication on issues and results between partners as
needed, and overseeing the public communications of the
project including the policy brief, the web site, the public
brochure, and the press releases.
Project meetings will be organised in a way
that travel and subsistence costs are kept at a minimum. A
mid-term and final project meeting should be held with
participation of all contractors and the Commission.
The European Commission will be informed
about the meetings at least eight weeks in advance.
The
knowledge, intellectual properties and other innovations
arising from the CEVIS project will be made available to the
public through: 1) Scientific publications, 2) Technical
Reports, 3) Reports to the EU, 4) a CEVIS website, 5)
Leaflets and Flyers, 6) Computer Software and 7) Data
compilations.
