The second day provided presentations and discussions on research tasks. Clarification of tasks, responsibilities and timelines were also discussed. The Partners also successfully agreed a detailed action plan for the coming months.
It was also good opportunity for the Steering Committee Members to discuss the role of the Work Package (WP) as operational unit, Work Package Leaders as managers of the WPs, responsibilities of WP leaders, and some general comments on communication and interaction between the WPs.
The Partners also discussed and approved the general policy for the Management Committee and the Steering Committee, they also discussed the expectations from the kick-off meeting, as well as the role of Research Group Leaders.
