order to ensure that all key skills required to develop and implement the proposed outputs are available within the
consortium. Partners have been allocated tasks relevant to their individual areas of expertise to ensure the best use of
resources and each partner will lead one work-package ensuring the equal distribution of responsibility throughout the
consortium for all development actions. All the above will be discussed and analysed during the Transnational Project
Meetings. The project work plan has been carefully designed to provide an appropriate balance between the requirements
for proper and efficient project management and quality assurance; development, testing and implementation actions; and
potential dissemination and exploitation opportunities. Based on the progress of the project, the Intellectual Outputs
produced and the Multiplier Events organized, the Coordinator will design and implement a Financial Management System.
All these will be extensively disscused during the Transnational Project Meetings. The financial management of the project
depends strongly on the overall management of the project, its organisation structure, its time allocation and its plan, as well
as time management. A well organised, planned and structured project will lead to a well-managed implementation. |
